Gratify your cycling and gastronomic cravings by joining this tour through Northern California's most scenic and prolific agricultural areas. Starting and ending at San Francisco's waterfront, you'll visit the vineyards, orchards, and dairy lands of the northern Bay Area at the peak of harvest. We'll even arrange for you to meet with farmers, vintners, and sustainable agriculture experts. You can sample their products and learn straight from the sources about emerging trends in organic foods and the "locavore" movement.
We've shortened some of the daily mileages to provide more time to enjoy the various highlights: the Sonoma and Napa valleys, the Alexander and Russian River valleys, Point Reyes, Tomales Bay (home to fantastic seafood), the Golden Gate Bridge, Bodega Bay, and the dairy lands and coastal bluffs of Marin County. You'll inhale warm autumn air, savor fresh produce, and pedal from the blue Pacific to the eastern edge of the tawny Coast Range -- and then loop back again.
Join us for this delightfully delicious sensory tour mixing sustainable agriculture with world-class riding!
