Van supported tours
At Santa Cruz Bike Tours, we offer other winery tours appropriate for most fitness levels that are customized to create a most enjoyable afternoon. For groups who would like van support, we have partnered with our good friends at The Santa Cruz Experience. From the mountains to the coast, they allow their guests to visit wineries not typically open to the public and discover vineyards as a personal guest of the winemakers.
