About
We'll work with you to determine an arrival time between 10:30 and 3:00. You can let us know which wineries you are keyed in on, or leave it to us to select spots that appeal to your voiced preferences. You can plan on between $25 and $45 for most basic tastings. We'll get your lunch preference so we can build in to your itinerary the correct location and time for you to enjoy your lunch (some choose a picnic at one of the wineries, but there are a couple yummy restaurants along the way as well - see below for more info).
Upon check-in on the day of your adventure, we will spend ample time setting you up on bikes and we will cover a detailed map with your party.
As for lunch, we recommend a picnic in order to enjoy the flexibility that offers in terms of time, as well as the beauty of sitting at a winery for your meal. Calmart, Bella Bakery, and Palisades Eatery are all nearby and have great picnic options. However, if you'd rather have a sit-down meal, there are also a few restaurants along the route to enjoy a bite, and we allot more time in your schedule for a sit down meal.
Pricing: only $94.99 + tax including bike/helmet/full itinerary planning/booked tasting reservations/wine pick up of your purchases. (upgrade to the most popular electric assist bike option for just $50 add'l pp - you're sure to come back with a smile on your face with them).
Please note that wineries typically charge more for groups larger than 6 (plan on about $50+pp per winery).
Please note that tasting fees are not included in the pricing.
