Scenic Napa Valley E-Bike Tour (no wineries)
Description
Take a break from wine tasting and meet in St. Helena for a guided e-bike tour along the Napa Valley Vine Trail (car-free bike path). Your tour group will be led by a local, knowledgeable Tour Guide. The tour covers 16 miles (from St. Helena to Calistoga, and back) with pauses along the way to admire the view, take photos and learn about Napa's history. The route is mostly flat to gently rolling. And don’t forget: you’ll have three levels of E-Bike pedal-assist at your fingertips! Upon reaching Calistoga, the mid-point of the tour, you'll have an hour of free time to explore the town or grab lunch on your own. Or, if you want to continue biking, your Tour Guide can take you on an optional ride extension along a picturesque back country road, adding up to 8 miles (24 miles total for the day). Children ages 12+ are welcome to join this tour with an accompanying adult.

Itinerary
No visit to Napa Valley is complete without a stop at the iconic "Welcome to Napa Valley" sign. Your tour group will pause here to take photos and enjoy the views of the vineyards.
Part of the bike route goes through Bothe-Napa State Park, home to the farthest inland coastal redwoods.
Enjoy an hour of free time to explore the town of Calistoga on your own. Stroll and explore the shops along the main street or grab lunch or coffee. Or, let your Tour Guide know if you'd like to keep riding and they can take you on an optional extension of up to 8 miles. After one hour, the tour group will reconvene for the bike ride returning to Charles Krug.

The description on Viator states you travel down a no car allowed road. That is not true. You are on a paved walking/ bike path along the main road. You can save yourself the money and just walk on The paved path through the vineyards. . My tour guide mark gave us NO opportunities to take photos. He made it clear he was an avid bicyclist and runner and he treated this tour as if we were biking in a race to Calistoga. He only talked to and gave attention to one person in the group and he never looked back to check on the rest of us. Worst tour guide I have ever experienced with Viator.
We are two seniors who have never ridden an e-bike before. But we had a very enjoyable 4 hours touring the wine country. Michelle was our guide and was very patient in teaching us, as well as quite knowledgeable. It was actually very easy, and we caught on quickly. The electric assist was great when we came to the hills. We loved being out in nature on a beautiful day, hearing the birds sing, and not having to be concerned about traffic since we were on a private trail. Michele took our picture at various photo stops, including the iconic Napa Valley sign. We had a delightful lunch in the quaint town of Calistoga. We'd highly recommend this tour.
So fun to see this! We're so glad you took a chance on a new activity, having not ridden e-bikes before. So many people tell us how surprisingly easy and natural our pedal-assist e-bikes are to ride. We're thrilled you had a great experience with Tour Guide Michelle. Thank you for riding with us!
We had such a good time riding e-bike on Napa Vine Trail! E-biking was so easy, I felt like I was in my teens again ;-) Our guide, Don was super nice. We would do this again when we visit Napa next.
Oh my gosh, LOVE to see this! Haha, so glad you had a great day hosted by Don. Thanks for riding with us!!
Michael was a great tour guy. Growing up in the area definitely was a value add for us as he knows so much about the local wineries,, places to go and etc . Great time .
Love to see this, Irina! So glad you enjoyed your ride with Tour Guide Michael!
Wow! This was an amazing way to explore Napa as a Family.The electric bikes were easy to ride as we enjoyed the valley scenery and went through the wineries . Our guide Don was professional and patient. I am just 4’11” and he was able to find a bike that worked with my height. We visited the charming town of Calistoga to take a break. It was a perfect day .
Love to see this! We recently updated the format of this tour and the early feedback from guests like you has been great to see! So glad you enjoyed your day with Don.
Mark was great. Gave us an I formative ride from Charles Krug to Calistoga and we got to run around Calistoga for about 1 1/2. Well worth the investment. Biking trail was great and we had a great time. Thanks!
My husband and I did the half day wine trail e-bike tour 2 days ago and we enjoyed it immensely!! If you’re undecided, just do it. You’ll be so glad you did. I was a bit anxious as I’ve never been on an e-bike before and it was absolutely fine. Our guide Don was fabulous!! He was very knowledgeable of the area and super friendly and accommodating. The scenery along the trail is beautiful and it makes the ride so worth it. At the end of our ride we had a delicious picnic and did some wine tasting at Charles Krug winery. It was the perfect end to a great afternoon!
