What to Expect on a Napa Valley Bike Tour

While you’re on a bike, you’ll have a greater appreciation for your surroundings as you explore Napa’s rolling green hills, its farm fields with grazing livestock, and, of course, the miles of vineyards. Rather than speeding past in your vehicle, you’ll be able to engage all of your senses; breath in the air, touch the earth and drink in the unimaginable number of views from each vantage point.

There’s no need to worry if you’re not an avid or regular cyclist because you’ll find plenty of Napa Valley bike tours that are leisurely and meandering, with lots of stops for wine and otherwise. However, if you’re looking for a more intense ride you’ll find that also. There’s no better way to explore the valley than atop a bicycle, especially if you can head back to Churchill Manor to relax with a bath and a sit by the fire in one of the beautiful rooms.
