Cycle and explore California’s Sonoma wine country for 6 days, sampling valleys, vineyards, redwoods and Pacific Coast. There’s more to northern California winelands than Napa. Join your friendly co-adventurers and head for Sonoma County, Napa’s laid-back neighbor. The itinerary is a blend of experiences, refined and wild. Yes, expect the usual wine-country cycling activities: tastings, vineyard visits, winding roads through grape-lush valleys. We’ll also unbottle natural delights of the seashore and coastal range. (Ever had a curious otter pop up beside your kayak, whack-a-mole style?) Begin with a bucket-list ride across the Golden Gate Bridge. From there, imbibe quaint towns and exquisite cabernets. And pinot noirs. And chardonnays. Breathe in salt breezes and rugged Pacific vistas. Ride up the Russian River into the heart of a valley with a hundred wineries. Kayak with a naturalist in Tomales Bay, floating across underwater meadows where California bat rays are born. Picnic at a farm store that made the cover of Wine Spectator. Walk in wonder among 1,400-year-old redwoods. Stay oceanside and drift off to the lullaby of waves. Our expert guides handle the details so you’re free to savor each moment.
