Pedaling Through Napa Valley...
The Malcolm & Manocha Group offer a Concierge Service Serving- South Bay, Los Gatos, San Jose, Saratoga, Santa Clara, Cupertino and surrounding areas.
For a different way to get into the heart of the wine country, try pedaling the quiet country lanes between the just-ripening vineyards. The flat, sun-drenched valley is built for cycling at any speed, and day-trippers can ride for just an hour or a full day. Start your tours at the centrally located Napa Valley Bike Tours in Yountville, where you can rent a bike and get route advice. Along the area's back roads and byways, you can set your pace and pick your place, but here are a few stops we recommend: The Napa Wine Company, located where Oakville Cross Road intersects Highway 29, is a unique collective used by small independent wineries to make their wines; you can sample more than twenty of these at their Cult Wine Central tasting room. A short pedal away, Saddleback Cellars is a hidden gem of a winery started by Nils Venge, the legendary winemaker whose Groth Vineyards' 1985 Reserve Cabernet got a perfect score of 100 from wine guru Robert Parker Jr. (try the 2003 Cab or the 2005 Pinot Grigio). Finish your tour at Cliff Lede Vineyard outside Yountville, where you'll find a transplanted Canadian making awesome Bordeaux-style wines and running an equally tasteful art gallery. Salut!
TIP: For an on-the-road lunch break, pack up a picnic at the popular (and original) Oakville Grocery.
Napa Valley Bike Tours, 6488 Washington St. at Hwy. 29, Yountville; 707-944-2953. Comfort bikes for self-guided tours start at $20 for two hours, $30 for the day (tandems $40/$65). They also offer fully guided wine tours; these start at $65 for a half day, $125 for full day (per person, tasting fees not included).

Apple Store 23 N. Santa Cruz Ave. (408) 399-3880
www.apple.com/retail/losgatos
Commencing this April, Apple stores will offer a series of free workshops aimed at families. Through various hands-on presentations, the Apple store will teach families how to put together a movie, compose a song, create a photo album, and even give an impressive presentation – which is perfect for school-aged kids, who will head home with a head full of great ideas and a workbook packed with tips.
Petroglyph 37 N. Santa Cruz Ave. (408) 395-6278
http://www.petroglyph.com/
Kids can emblazon mugs, plates and more with their initials or their favorite colors, characters and doodles at this fun, family-friendly outpost of the popular ceramic lounge.
Powell’s Sweet Shoppe 35 N. Santa Cruz Ave. (408) 395-5200
http://www.powellssweetshoppe.com%20willy/Wonka, eat your heart out – this candy wonderland is a swirly, burly, curly cornucopia of sweet delights, many of which parents will remember from their childhood. Popular with the children of today is anything fizzy, including Zotz and Pop Rocks. The film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (that’s the one with Gene Wilder, not Johnny Depp) screens all day in the store’s theater section.
Kid in a Candy Store 139 N. Santa Cruz Ave. (408) 354-4640Having sweetened the Los Gatos landscape for 15 years, Kid in a Candy Store is also a popular place for private parties, or they can put together party favors and goodie bags for celebrations at home.
The Wooden Horse 796 Blossom Hill Rd., Los Gatos (408) 356-8821 http://woodenhorsetoys.com/
This popular toy store is a far cry from the plastic-laden aisles of today’s toy superstores. For 30 years, the Wooden Horse has not only provided quality toys that are as fun as they are educational, but become a community resource, providing ideas and knowledge that help customers make wise buying decisions on behalf of their children. In April, the store celebrates Turn Off the TV Week (Apr. 21-27) with a series of themed activities after hours, and a big family fair day on Saturday, Apr. 26.
