Behind-the-Scenes Food and Wine E-Bike or Regular Bike Tour

Overview

Experience the beauty of Sonoma wine country with all five senses on a guided bike tour visiting local wineries. Get out from behind the windshield, slow down and experience wine country from a whole new perspective - by bike! You'll join a small group, hosted by a knowledgeable, local tour guide who will enhance your education of the vine-to-bottle process. Guided groups ride at a relaxed pace, averaging just 3 to 5 miles of pedaling between stops at local wineries for tastings. This tour visits two wineries and includes a delicious picnic lunch and an exclusive behind the scenes tour/tasting at Vella Cheese factory (except Sundays)

Our tour is a Wine Country tour with stops for tastings. We encourage all guests to be 21 and over, but can accommodate guests 14 and up with the understanding they will be along for a winery bike tour without the ability to taste. Guides are not responsible for entertaining teens/young adults while parents are tasting.

Although wine tasting fees are not included upfront, there is an expectation that guests signing up for this tour will be participating in tastings.

We had an afternoon bike tour with Sarah (who was so wonderful!) on the fourth day of our honeymoon. It was just the three of us and she took us around Sonoma and to two wineries, one very small and one medium sized, both great choices for our introduction to wine country. The bikes were great. We had originally booked a tour in Napa but were contacted a few weeks beforehand that the afternoon ride in Napa was canceled and whether we would be willing to do the one in Sonoma. A very easy fix! I'm very glad we did the tour in Sonoma as we stayed in Napa and this gave us the opportunity to see another area! I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Napa or Sonoma :)

I highly recommend using Sonoma Valley Bike Tours for rentals in Sonoma. The bikes we rented were all in great shape (almost brand new), comfortable, and perfect for taking in a beautiful day in wine country. Jay and Lyn at the shop were extremely helpful and aided us in setting up a perfect itinerary for the day. Our group of 4 loved it and I will surely use them again.

Can't say enough good things about this tour and company. My wife had broken her arm two weeks before and we called ahead to see what our options were. They recommended the tandem bike but said to come by the day before to see if it would work. They didn't want us to have to pay the full price to cancel the day of if it didn't. As it turns out it work out fine with a little practice. Got there early to start and found out we were the only ones that day. Lynn, out tour guide, was friendly and outgoing and very knowledgable of the region and the history of the wineries we visited. Together my wife and I had no problem riding the 1-3 miles between wineries and Lynn set a conversational pace the whole ride. She was great at pointing out features of the town and countryside. The 3 wineries she selected that day were a perfect way to compare the different styles of the wines you'll see in Sonoma. From small homey operation to large, old tradition vineyards they were all great. Had great wine and Lynn introduced us to some passionate people to tell us about the wine we were tasting at the wineries. The lunch they provided was delicious and there was fresh water bottle provided by the support van after lunch. The van also took what wine we purchased back the the store for us to pick up afterwards. If you like to be out doors or love bikes, this is a great unique way to see the Sonoma countryside. And the wineries visited on the tour were top notch. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Sonoma.
