Auction Update: Napa Valley Wine Tasting for 6

A trip to the Clif Family Winery will include more than just wine for the lucky winner of this wine tasting for six during Adventure Cycling's first annual Summer Cycling Auction.

The Clif Family (of Clif Bar fame) are the proud owners of two vineyards in Napa Valley. The recipient of the wine tasting for six will journey to the Velo Vino tasting room in downtown St. Helena, CA.

The highest bidder (and five friends) will enjoy a private tasting including a full flight of wines with food pairings. Cap the experience off with a hand-crafted espresso made by one of Velo Vino's talented baristas.

But where does this fit into the cycling theme? Let's hear what the owners have to say:

Clif Family Winery at Velo Vino is a unique place where the passions of cycling and wine are celebrated and blended. Enjoy a variety of food and wine pairing experiences, delicious espresso drinks, customized bike rides and rentals, wine by the glass, cycling apparel and an electric car charging station.*

At Velo Vino you will find a lively tasting bar full of cycling memorabilia, gourmet food and Clif Family Wines. You will also enjoy a seated tasting in our private tasting room with one of our attentive staff members. Our outdoor patio and wine sensory garden is the perfect venue for a relaxing wine tasting and post ride celebration.

Visit our online auction on June 18th through the 22nd and bid to win this flavorful experience! (The bidding starts at just $50.) This would be the perfect end to your Californian cycling tour.

June 18th through 22nd, Adventure Cycling Association will offer its members and the general public something new and exciting -- the opportunity to bid on fantastic tour spots, bike-specific art, and even this wine tasting in our first annual Summer Cycling Auction! Visit our Bidding for Good auction and keep an eye on the blog in the coming weeks to see other items that we will be auctioning.


Funds raised will support the reroute of the eastern Montana and North Dakota sections of the Northern Tier and Lewis & Clark routes due to safety concerns, and will support the research and development of Bicycle Route 66!

*Bicycle rides/rentals and cycling apparel not included in prize package.
