Sample itinerary
On arrival in San Francisco, we pick you up and take you to culinary capital, Yountville, home to the acclaimed French Laundry restaurant (reservations on request). From here, you follow a leisurely linear route through classic Californian wine country - including the world-famous Napa, Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys - with tasting opportunities at every turn.
Mostly, the pedalling is along quiet country lanes, stopping off at quaint "old style" American country towns, The final stretch takes you through ancient redwood forests - mighty 300ft trees dating 1000+ years - and south along the Russian River to the dramatic Pacific Coast at Hitchcock's Bodega Bay. Optional extra nights can be booked at the beginning, or end, of the trip in the vibrant, cosmopolitan city of San Francisco.
