We rented a couple of cruiser bikes in Yountville and mainly spent riding on the Napa Valley Vine Trail for a 16-mile roundtrip excursion. It is a fairly flat trail lined with amazingly beautiful oak trees and fun footbridges. It runs parallel to the railway along Hwy 29 / Saint Helena Hwy, so it can be a bit noisy sometimes. Bikers, runners, and walkers with dogs share this course, so keep your eyes peeled and proceed with caution.
Vineyards can be seen from the trail, but if you're like me, you'll want to take a closer look. To do so, you can turn off into the side streets along Solano Ave. We ended up in the backcountry, an adventure around Orchard Ave. Sometimes it made me a bit uneasy since we were sharing the road with vehicles. Nevertheless, we saw some gorgeous homes & vineyards, farm animals, and even a few sunflowers.
Lastly, we were lucky to see the train running! That was pretty exhilarating!
