On our first trip to wine country, we were overwhelmed by all the vineyards to visit. Since we love biking and wanted to see Sonoma, we booked the full day group tour, but my husband and I were the only people. Our guide, Emily, was very knowledgable. She took us to a vineyard and explained the winemaking process and was not just reading off a script. We loved that the tour took us to one of the oldest in Sonoma, Buena Vista Winery, as well as o a small independent winemaker, located in a warehouse, The Tin Barn. This was one hidden gem and we even ended up joining the club. Both vineyards had terrific wine but the experiences were a nice juxtaposition. After 2 vineyard visits, Emily asked if we wanted to visit a vineyard or somewhere else. The olive oil shops were close, so we went to Vella Cheese, another hidden gem of Sonoma.

My husband and I enjoyed the scenery and our guide Emily was great--very knowledgeable about each stop. The bikes are fun and make the ride easy. For us the ride was just a little too long. Although we toured with a very nice bunch of people and enjoyed talking with them we found it to be very expensive for what you get considering we had to pay $15.00-27.00 per person per place to sample the wines.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience biking around Sonoma on this tour. We would highly recommend it. Phyllis was a great tour guide and full of knowledge and experience about the local Sonoma wineries. The bikes are fantastic as they have this super cool option to use "pedal assist" which is an automatic speed control which allows you to pedal with very little effort. We are very fit individuals and originally liked the idea of getting in some exercise during the tour but as soon as we got started and got some wine in us, the idea of working hard to pedal became a distant idea and we enjoyed keeping the back in pedal assist the entire trip. Who needs to exercise on a wine tour? Sit back and enjoy! The lunch was great, winery choices were awesome, and we enjoyed getting to know our fellow riders for a day. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks for the tour!
