If visiting family members year after year is getting a little tiresome, maybe your vacation plans need a little spicing up. This year do something just for you. Take a bike tour of California wine country.
While there are fantastic vineyards all over California, wine country primarily consists of two areas: Sonoma and Napa. Now you can choose to go it alone and make up your own route but this can be very dangerous and should really be left to the professionals.
Good news! Professional guided bike tours of California wine country do exist and they are a great way to spend vacation time.
There are a number of bike tour companies out there that are great. You will more than likely ride with a group of other bikers and your entire route will be planned. You can take as long of a tour as your time restraints will allow; most of which are between four and six days. The company will take care of all hotel reservations and some even include meals.
Many companies are flexible with their tours so if there is a vineyard that is a little off the tour that you have to visit, they will work with you to insure that you have the best tour possible. They have vehicles that follow the bikers just in case there is an emergency. They can also give you a lift if you thought you felt a little more ambitious than your body did. Depending on which tour you choose you will be able to stop at a number of vineyards and learn all about wine making.
Touring by bike is a great way to take in the natural beauty of Napa and Sonoma and you will definitely have a vacation to remember.
