Accommodation: SingleThread Farm
Day 2: Alexander Valley
Pedal east into the warmer Alexander Valley and stop by Ridge Vineyards for a private tour and tasting, including their famed Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon. Tonight’s experience at the three Michelin-star restaurant at SingleThread is liable to be the single greatest culinary experience of your life.

Day 4: Pope Valley
Your ride today will take you into the bucolic Pope Valley. Lunch is in St Helena at a locals’ favourite – Cindy’s Backstreet Kitchen. After, journey to Joseph Phelps Vineyards for a private terrace tasting, including their exceptional flagship Cab, Insignia.
Accommodation: Auberge du Soleil
Day 5: Napa Valley
Venture out on one last route to say goodbye to Napa Valley. After your morning ride, make your way to St Helena for lunch at Farmstead, followed by a private Barrel Blending Experience at Conn Creek Winery. Then, it’s off to San Francisco to bid one another farewell.
Cycling Level 3
While most of the riding is relatively easy, expect to contend with the occasional challenging climb. The advantage of a private trip is that you can move at your own pace, choosing to ride the regular distance or extend if more miles are desired.
This is a custom program and can be modified to fit your needs.
