Calistoga, tucked in northern California’s renowned Napa Valley, is a standout destination for riders looking to combine outdoor adventure with the region's celebrated viticulture. Calistoga Bikeshop serves as a premier outfitter in town, offering a variety of bike rentals and custom tours that cater to riders of all skill levels.

The shop’s location in downtown Calistoga places riders within easy reach of the valley’s defining features: rolling vineyards, volcanic soil formations, and the nearby rugged trails of the Palisades and Oat Hill. These contrasting landscapes—where cultivated rows meet dense oak woodlands and rocky outcrops—offer both serene wine country road rides and more challenging singletrack for mountain bikers. The staff at Calistoga Bikeshop are consistently praised for their thorough bike preparation and responsive service, including support rides directly to riders on trails when mechanical issues arise.
Complementing their rental offerings, Calistoga Bikeshop arranges intimate wine tours that include tastings at handpicked local wineries, making it easy for visitors to experience the unique flavors of northern Napa while avoiding the hassle of driving.
