The guys have it together! Good bikes, excellent service, and a well oiled machine overall. Ari is a total rock star at life it appears. She was taking the weekend off to casually do an Ironman (her second...wtf) but back leading the next week. Whoa... Really fun experience & great to do with a group. The biking is mellow -... More

Love, love, loved it! This was our second trip with Gears and Grapes. We are planning on making this an annual girls trip. We always meet wonderful people looking for new adventures. It is a great way to spend a day or weekend riding in the beautiful wine country, enjoying great wines and getting your exercise. More

I would highly recommend doing a trip with Gears and Grapes. I went on a day trip through Napa for my birthday and it was great! It was so nice that pick up and drop off from my hotel was included so I didn't have to worry about transportation. Before I knew it we were biking down beautiful country roads... More

The thing I like best about this trip was that I got to see wineries I'd never get to see on my own. All my other trips in limo's or vans through Napa and Sonoma paled in comparison to the beautiful places we got to see on our Gears and Grapes trip. We took our trip through the Dry Creek... More

I cannot wait to do this trip again when I'm visiting Nor Cal. The wineries we visited were beautiful and delicious (they will carry the wine you purchase in the van). The biking was just the perfect amount (not too long or too short) and the lunch they serve was honestly the best lunch I've ever had. I still dream... More

We decided to go with Gears and Grapes because we wanted a small cycling tour that picked up and dropped off in San Francisco. It's one of the more expensive tours but it's definitely worth it as we had one of the best days of our vacation. Everything is taken care of - transport, costs for wine tastings and a... More

My daughter and I just finished a 1-day tour and had a wonderful time. Our guides were friendly, personable and knowledgeable. The wineries chosen were varied and were each unique and personnel spent much time with us, sampling and explaining and answering our questions. Lunch was delicious and plentiful. Consider asking if you can sample the wines at that vineyard... More

My friends and I were planning for a quick two-day reunion in the San Francisco/Napa Valley area. We decided to book a day trip with Gears and Grapes. Due to the cost, I was hesitant to book at first. However, the crew picked us up and coordinated the perfect scenic tour of Napa. Our crew received excellent service and attention... More

I had a full day to kill in San Francisco and, after reading the reviews, decided to try a day trip with Gears and Grapes. What a fabulous decision! I am not a morning person and am very clumsy on a bike, so I was a little nervous about the 9am start time as well as the biking. The van... More
