California: Wine Country & the Pacific Coast
America’s wine estates and vineyards are a bucket-list destination—and bicycling lets you experience it with all your senses. Vistas of rolling countryside blanketed with grapevines delight the eye. The lullaby of Pacific surf soothes the soul as you trace the coast. Smell the aroma of a farm-fresh picnic lunch spread out in a tall redwood forest. And, of course, taste the wines that have made California the toast of the nation. Plus, we’ve tucked in extras, including a tasting of olive oil and vinegar, time to explore some of the most charming Spanish Colonial towns in the West, and overnights in unique, centrally located accommodations. Don’t miss this chance to experience a sensory extravaganza that makes ours supreme among California wine country bike tours!

How do you write a review saying your trip was perfection and make it sound plausible? Wine country was my first VBT, joining 5 friends for what was to become a fabulous week. Meeting13 new people who were all wild and crazy was a plus! But having to great ride leaders, Jonathan and Dan who were great domestiques added to the fun! I am sure that having great weather and just a "few" bottles of good Californian wine polished off what I would say was an A+ week. Thanks to everyone for making the week one to be remembered!
California Wine Country & the Pacific Coast
What a wonderful relaxing tour of the wine country. Great roads with minimal traffic. The Ebikes allowed us to work as hard as we wanted to. Our two guides were the best. always attentive and ahead of our needs. More than willing to help and entertain us with their sparkling personalities. They need a raise no matter what they are paid.
