Tour Overview
Sonoma Wine Country | Pacific Coast | Redwoods
This bike tour in Northern California Wine Country visits the region’s most famous wine valleys. Start in the Dry Creek Valley, home to the world’s best Zinfandel, cycling along quiet roads to small, privately owned wineries. Ride through Chalk Hill to the Alexander Valley, distinguished for its unique terrain, then on to the Russian River Valley through groves of ancient redwood trees. This area is famous for its Pinot Noir, some of the world’s finest. Arriving at the Pacific, take a walk on the grassy headland, watching for sea lions and gray whales in the waters below. Continue along on peaceful roads through rolling farmland and eucalyptus trees to the town of Occidental for a farewell dinner.
