Tour Overview
California Bike Tour - Sonoma Coast & Wine Country
Our extraordinary California wine country bike tours combine the best of a wine country vacation with the magnificent Sonoma Coast, featuring exceptionally scenic cycling routes. Premiere lodging, food, and wine provide a fabulous and all-encompassing experience. From wine country’s top-rated inn to an upscale coastal lodge, you will be immersed in luxury throughout your vacation.
Take in the sun shining upon ripened grapes as you 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 while cycling below their cathedral-like canopy.
Enjoy a breathtaking bike ride down the coast with remarkable ocean views as your constant companion, cycling south with the wind at your back and the downhills in your favor. Join your tour guides on a spectacular hike overlooking the sea, where seals, sea lions, and even migrating gray whales are often visible in the waters below.
Your stay on the coast affords the opportunity to challenge yourself on a famed local ride featured in the Tour of California. Or, take the afternoon off from your bike for a massage, a walk along the beach, a round of golf, or to try your hand at surfing the gentle swells. Sojourn’s California wine country and coast cycling vacations offer a wide variety of options to suit most anyone.
