Tour Overview
Sonoma Wine Country | Pacific Coast | Redwoods
Ride along country roads through lush vineyards and follow the Russian River as it winds through stands of ancient redwoods to the sea. Spin down the magnificent undeveloped coast. Welcome to our Northern California Wine Country bicycle tour.
Take in the sun shining upon ripened grapes of the vineyards. Cycle through the sprawling vineyards that line the region’s most famous wine valleys. The magnificent Russian River, Dry Creek, and Alexander Valleys are each distinguished by their unique terrain. Marvel at the majesty of towering, ancient Redwood trees. Cycle below their cathedral-like canopy.
Enjoy a breathtaking bike ride down the coast. Admire remarkable ocean views as your constant companion, cycling south with the wind at your back, and the downhills in your favor. Trade your bike shoes for walking shoes and follow the trail that follows the clifftop along the rugged and beautiful coastline. Witness seals, sea lions, and even migrating gray whales in the waters below.
