Moderate: 14-18 miles, options for additional mileage
The Tour of Santa Ynez departs Ballard into the heart of the wine country. Enjoy the bucolic countryside as you pedal past Quicksilver Miniature Horse Farm, apple orchards, lavender fields and vineyard land. Your tour will visit the quaint town of Los Olivos for an olive oil tasting at the Olive Hill Farms tasting room. For those interested in some additional mileage, your guide will lead you along a moderately flat route along Figueroa Mountain road just shy of the San Rafael Mountain range, doubling back after a brief stop at the entrance to Neverland Ranch, the home of the late King of Pop. The tour will then progress to the rural town of Santa Ynez before looping back around to enjoy our signature farm-to-table lunch served alfresco at Rideau Vineyard with wine tasting to follow.
