Overview
Go beyond the vineyards and discover another side of Napa’s agricultural heritage. Join a guided e-bike tour visiting two family farms where you’ll learn about the craftsmanship behind lavender and olive oil production.
You’ll average 3 to 6 miles of biking between stops, covering a total of 12-17 miles. The route will be mostly flat to gently rolling. And don’t forget: you’ll have three levels of E-Bike pedal-assist at your fingertips!
Ride at a relaxed pace to two family-owned farms where you’ll learn about lavender and olive oil production and enjoy a picnic lunch.
Electric bikes make this tour fun for anyone who can ride a bike. Casual bikers will find they can confidently ride longer distances and cruise up hills with no problem. And experienced riders who are hoping for more exercise can turn the pedal-assist level down or completely off to get more of a workout.

Your visit concludes with a guided tasting of Olive Hill Estates’ exceptional olive oils, where you’ll discover the nuances of this Napa Valley-grown treasure.
