Travelers and gift-givers nationwide can now book railbike excursions through Virgin's leading experience platform
CLOVERDALE, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 1, 2025 / Russian River Railbikes, the Sonoma County adventure experience where guests pedal custom-built railbikes along historic railroad tracks, today announced a new partnership with Virgin Gifts, a global leader in curated experiential gifting.
The collaboration allows customers across the country to book Russian River Railbikes directly through Virgin Gifts' online platform, expanding access to one of Northern California's most scenic outdoor adventures.
"We're excited to join forces with Virgin Gifts," said Manly Hyde, Director at the Golden Gate Railroad Museum, which operates Russian River Railbikes. "Our rides combine history, nature, and adventure in a way that's perfect for couples, families, and groups. It's the perfect way to give an experience instead of a thing."
With this partnership, Virgin Gifts customers can seamlessly gift or reserve the two-hour railbike excursion as part of a trip to Sonoma County wine country or as a unique seasonal experience. Russian River Railbikes will also be running "Pedal to the Pumpkins" special railbike excursions this October just in time for Halloween.
Departing just north of the historic train depot in downtown Cloverdale, the scenic six-mile round-trip route follows the Russian River through forested areas, vineyards, a historic tunnel, and wildlife-rich landscapes. No prior railbike experience is required.
