Arriving in the heart of California’s renowned wine country, visitors to St. Helena can unlock a new world of scenic indulgence with Napa Valley Bike Tours’ 7-Day Bike Rental. This flexible, self-guided experience invites riders of all levels to cruise along the iconic Vine Trail, an 8-mile, car-free path that links St. Helena to Calistoga amidst rolling vineyards and sunlit slopes. As you pedal past rows of grapevines, the air fills with the aroma of fermenting grapes and blooming wildflowers, making every mile a sensory journey. The route winds through Bothe State Park, where shaded groves and rugged terrain offer a natural playground for cyclists eager to break from the vineyards and explore local flora and fauna. The town of St. Helena offers charming shops, farm-to-table eateries, and craft wine tasting spots, turning each day into a blend of adventure and palate-pleasing discoveries.
