NEW YORK CITY – With winter weather getting ready to hit the U.S., you may be thinking about where you can go for a quick escape from the snow. If you don’t want to hop across The Pond or head south to the Caribbean like everyone else, keep it domestic and choose an active adventure through the California wine country. Whether you’re an oenophile or a wine neophyte, you can explore Napa, Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys via quiet back roads and stunning vineyard paths any time of year with help from Discover France.
Discover France offers a 5- or 7-night cycling tour, meticulously planned and fully customizable for travelers who want to discover the area at their own pace and stop to imbibe the local fruit or take part in seasonal festivities. After more than 20 years as a bicycle tour operator, Discover France knows how to create personalized programs to satisfy any taste and skill level.
TRAVEL TIP: Winter is considered the low season for travel in the Napa region (December to March) so plan a post-Christmas cycling getaway when you can pedal through the bright yellow mustard flowers, you don’t have to fight crowds and you can spend more time with wine experts during your tastings! Book an early spring trip (March-April) to ride in warmer temperatures, plus see the vegetation and vineyards coming alive.
