Luxury Bike Tours: An Insider’s View of Sonoma County

Think of these bike tours as a rolling theaters of wine country life that change with the seasons, rather than set point-to-point trips. We offer a hands-on opportunity to discover all the hidden adventures, wine tastings at family owned wineries, gourmet treats (think regionally inspired, locally grown cuisine at Michelin restaurants) & unique events that Sonoma County has to offer. All of that…with none of the hassles. (Private and Custom Trips are available. Contact us for details.)

MEET THE FOUNDERS AND HOSTS

Sonoma on a Bike was co-founded by Randy Johnson, CEO of Getaway Adventures bike tours since 1991, a bike and wine aficionado and passionate explorer of Sonoma County for over two decades. The other Founder was at one point the managing director of Butterfield and Robinson and brought with him numerous insights into the world of luxury travel. We thank him for bringing great passion and luxury travel experience in helping us create a one of a kind travel vacation, and we wish him well.

Sonoma on a Bike tours are now lead by Randy and his senior staff, think of them as your “experience editors” who extract only the best of Sonoma for you to enjoy.

The Journey

  MODERATE | 6 Days/5 Nights

You can expect an amazing itinerary of experiences while biking the region’s beautiful country roads. You might find yourself face-to-face with a herd of goats, while sampling the artisan cheese maker’s wares. Or enjoying an elegant lunch with world-class wines, created by the chef at a hidden estate. Depending on the season, you might picnic under 1400-year-old redwoods, or experience a crab fishing expedition … up close and personally.

But it isn’t a tour for everyone. In fact, we have limited seats. It’s designed for those who like to savor a bike tour with all their senses fully engaged. We encourage you to take the time to come and breathe…and take in the beauty we’ve found in the lush landscapes of Sonoma County, with it’s vineyards, valleys, vistas, hills, mountains, parks, rocky coastline, crashing waves, farmland, and forests (including those majestic and magnificent redwoods). It’s a slow, sensual trip. And if that sounds somewhat provocative, and possibly a little self-indulgent, so be it. It’s a gift to be given, and shared, with someone you love – including yourself.

So come discover all this and more, as we journey through Sonoma County’s beautiful appellations.

Each Day in Sonoma

What better way to begin your trip than by biking through a few of the most celebrated vineyards in Northern California? We’ll stop for a few wine tastings so you can judge for yourself which you like the best. Later that day, we’ll introduce you to a town voted by Fodor’s as “one of the 10 best small towns in America”.

This day you experience, first hand, the world-acclaimed wine growing appellations that are part of the Dry Creek Valley and Alexander Valley. You’ll get a taste (or two) of why these areas are famous for such amazing, award-winning wines. Of course, there’s also time to visit some hidden treasures along the way.

Choose  the Epic “Tour de Sonoma” Ride!  We ride up to the Geysers (58 miles, 4500′ elevation gain) Santa Rosa Cycling Club’s top ten local rides.

We follow the Russian River to a magnificent forest of 1,400-year-old coastal redwoods. After lunch, we’ll head to the coast, home of fiercely independent and hardworking fishermen … and totally relaxed sea lions, both of whom are experts at catching the region’s succulent salmon, oysters, abalone and Dungeness crab. Of course, we’ll make sure you get your share of that bounty, too.

Choose the Epic “Tour de Sonoma” Ride! Ride 90 miles of Levi Leipheimer’s Training Ride. Now that is Epic!

Biking through the historic and charming town of Bodega — also home of Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” — we continue onward to visit destinations that are beloved by those in the know. The rewards may be fresh hot cinnamon bread straight from wood fired brick ovens, a cheese artisan and his goats, a fantasy street peopled by the creations of one gifted artist or have a chance to discover the Barlow, home to food producers, wine makers, brewers, distillers, and artists.

Choose the Epic “Tour de Sonoma” Ride! We ride up and see the spectacular views of  Coleman Valley Rd – a leg of the 2013 Amgen Tour Of California

This day’s ride will take you to the Valley of the Moon, which is less exotic but even more spectacular than the name implies. Jack London called it home, leaving behind buildings created in a mix of iconic early 20th century architecture, as well as acres of trails and breathtaking vistas of the majestic Sonoma Mountain. Our final night calls for a special celebratory dinner.

Choose the Epic “Tour de Sonoma” Ride! We ride Trinity Rd to Napa – a leg of the 2010 Amgen Tour of California

Before saying good-bye, you’ll have time to create your own morning itinerary. You can go for one last amazing bike ride, pop into the one-of-a-kind boutique shops found inside the old adobe storefronts on the plaza, tour General Vallejo’s historic home; or just sit with your coffee in any of Sonoma’s beautiful sunlit courtyards. We’ll have everything taken care of for your departure. All you’ll need do is pack.

Choose the Epic “Tour de Sonoma” Ride! We ride up and around Mt Tamalpais in Marin County. The most spectacular view of San Francisco and the entire Bay Area!

Sonoma & Napa Valley Bike Tour

Price:  $2,895+

Duration:  6 Days / 5 Nights

Level:  Novice / Intermediate

Terrain:  Rolling / Hilly

With great weather, breathtaking scenery and over 500 vineyards, ‍‍Sonoma and Napa Valley are a cyclist’s paradise. You’ll find terrain suitable for all abilities, just one of the reasons Bicycling Magazine described pedaling here as “the perfect cycling vacation.” Off the bike you’ll be treated to wine tastings, world-class cuisine and delightful accommodations. Our Sonoma & Napa Valley Bike Tour gives you the best of both worlds in California’s world-renowned wine region.

bike tours sonoma

Day 1: Biking to Bodega Bay‍ (31 miles) After pickup in San Francisco, you’ll be shuttled to the pastoral, ranching part of Sonoma County near the coast. After a brief orientation, you pedal along a favorite route past an incredible local bakery known for their delectable bready treats (don’t worry, celiacs, they have two kinds of gluten-free scones, so you can enjoy too). The reward today is a sweet climb and descent along Coleman Valley Road, which on sunny days offers an incredible view of the Pacific Ocean. We’ll end up at our hotel for the night and the first of many great meals together. Meals included: Dinner

Day 2: Biking among Redwoods (25, 45 or 60 miles, Hiking – 2 miles) After breakfast you’ll head up along the rugged Pacific Coast and along the Russian River into the heart of the redwoods. You’ll savor a visit to a state park that includes 1,400-year-old trees that tower over 300 feet, creating an enchanting ambience. If you choose to cycle after lunch, you’ll continue up the Russian River to Healdsburg. En route, you’ll pass many wineries on quiet roads. Today’s itinerary includes a wine tasting at one of the area’s best wineries. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 3: Biking Dry Creek (22 or 55 miles) How much you cycle today is – as always – up to you. You may choose to spend more time exploring the charming town of Healdsburg, but if you’d rather, you can spend more time riding the Dry Creek Valley. From here you’ll look out across acres of vines with the Mayacamas Mountains framing the scene. In short, you’ll enjoy some truly classic wine country riding on lightly trafficked roads where there seems to be a winery every half mile. Meals included: Breakfast & Dinner

Day 4: Biking Alexander Valley (21 or 47 miles) Today you’ll bike the Alexander Valley, Knights Valley and Northern Napa. You’ll find many opportunities to visit famous wineries along the way. Indeed, you’ll savor a gourmet picnic lunch overlooking the vineyards of one such oasis before touring the winery. You’ll stay the next two nights in the quaint Napa County town of Calistoga known for its boutique shops and excellent restaurants. Meals included: Breakfast & Lunch

Day 5: Biking Napa Valley (40 or 71 miles) This morning you’ll take to the Silverado Trail which affords a great view across the Napa Valley as well as being home to some of the best known wineries in the area. You’re welcome to continue on a more extensive ride, but we encourage you to relax with an optional spa treatment for which Calistoga is famous. Choose from massage, hydrotherapy, mud baths, facials and more. Tonight, you’ll enjoy recalling the stories of the week with the rest of the group over your farewell dinner. Meals included: Breakfast & Dinner

Day 6: Biking Crystal Springs Loop (18 miles) Today’s ride is a short loop past some of the smaller wineries of Napa. Of course, you can choose to sleep in and relax or enjoy another chance to explore town. Either way you’ll have some time to get ready and pack up before being shuttled back across the Golden Gate Bridge to downtown San Francisco. Meals included: Breakfast

Bodega Bay Lodge – 1 night Poised atop a tranquil bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Bodega Bay Lodge reflects the wild beauty of this romantic region and offers an array of incredible things to do in Sonoma. Watch the fishermen ply the bay for the day’s catch. Spot migrating whales in the waves. Scout for rare birds in a location prized by the Audubon Society and Alfred Hitchcock.

h2hotel‍ – 2 nights Glimpse the undulating “Green Roof” of h2hotel and you’ll know you’ve arrived to the charming historic town of Healdsburg, where h2hotel is rooted.

To one of our 36 eco-chic rooms – all with private balconies or patios; a simple, organic aesthetic; and creative amenities – that’s just waiting for you.

Calistoga Motor Lodge and Spa – 2 nights Every great journey needs a worthy destination. Welcome to the hoteliers’. They fell in love with a 1940’s roadside motel (formerly the Sunburst Calistoga) perfectly placed at the head of the Silverado Trail, in the heart of California’s most scenic wine region. They cleaned her up and gave her new life as the Calistoga Motor Lodge and Spa – an epic ode to the Great American Road Trip of the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. Framed by vineyards and bike trails, and with pools fed by geothermal waters flowing underneath their grounds, their stylish Mid-Century Modern digs are the perfect foundation for those looking to find their next great adventure from the perfect home base. Whether it’s backroad wine country or a relaxing mineral bath, their backyard can be your backyard, and it’s anything but ordinary.

Happy quotes from happy customers

The beautiful and scenic tour, just what we were hoping for. Stopped at 3 very nice wineries

Our guide was such a nice young man! Helped us get our bikes and helmets set and off we went! A beautiful and scenic tour, just what we were hoping for.

There’s no better way to see the Sonoma wineries! This was such a good way to enjoy the outdoor aspects of Sonoma as well.

Dave and his son took our group of ten to three wineries in the Dry Creek Valley and we had the best day. Everything was perfect, from the details he had for us at each of our stops to the delicious lunch.

Don’t just take our word for it.

EXPLORE WINE COUNTRY AT YOUR OWN PACE

Our regularly scheduled Sonoma lunch tours travel to some of the most outstanding wineries in the Sonoma area, revealing the history and beauty of the countryside on quiet roads. Each Sonoma bike tour is led by a local tour guide who is well versed in local history, wine knowledge, and cycling.

Our leisurely ride starts with a quick familiarization of our bikes and an introduction to Sonoma’s History, then we’re off. The first stretch (always the longest) takes us down quiet country roads, surround by the natural beauty of Sonoma and its best attractions. We’ve chosen wineries that are rich in history, full of character, and produce premium wines that are hard, if not impossible, to find outside of Sonoma. Our gourmet picnic style lunch will be held at the second winery stop. It’s prepared for us using local products whenever possible. All tours are flexible and are open to last minute suggestions by riders.

A first-timer's guide to Sonoma, California

Get to know Sonoma with this guide to its valleys and wineries © Joe Becerra / Shutterstock

Amid velvety green valleys and oak-covered hills, more than 425 wineries flourish on 63,000 acres of vineyards, producing some of the nation’s best pinot noir, zinfandel and chardonnay — 99% of which are sustainable. Welcome to laid-back Sonoma , located an hour north of San Francisco (depending on traffic), yet a world away. 

Before we get going, let’s get one thing straight. There’s Sonoma Valley , which is a winery haven unto itself, featuring California ’s oldest commercial winery and centered on the town of Sonoma. And then there’s Sonoma County, in whose southern realm Sonoma Valley is located, which is an even greater wine haven. The boundaries don’t really make a difference, but just know that when we say Sonoma, we’re talking about a county with many different valleys and 19 distinct wine regions — and it's really fun to explore.

Here you’ll find a variety of small, friendly towns with acutely local farm-fresh cuisine and cozy accommodations for every budget, along with primo wine-centered activities, including wine tasting, wine festivals, spa treatments using local products (Cabernet-grape-seed scrub, anyone?), and “wiking” (hiking and wine-tasting).

But there’s more. Here, too, you can explore 55-plus miles of Pacific coastline, with remote beaches and plummeting cliffs; trail-laced parks shaded by old-growth redwoods; the slow-moving Russian River, ideal for kayaking or just lying on a sandy beach; and plenty of Western history, including California’s northernmost Spanish mission and author Jack London’s former home and ranch. 

Get ready to explore one of California’s most special places, where you can sink into its friendly, farmtown vibe and relax, while tasting some of the world’s best wines, and so much more.

When should I go to Sonoma?

Summer and fall are the best seasons to visit Sonoma, when you’ll find sunny, blue skies and temps in the mid-80°Fs. The absolute best time (crowds aside) is September, as the autumn harvest revs up, and winery tours, grape harvesting are in full swing. While summer can be a tad warm for outdoor activities (unless you get up early), autumn is ideal for hiking, “wiking” (wine-tasting and hiking) tours, and biking lanes lit up with autumn color. 

To avoid the crowds (and higher prices), winter is better — though the weather is cooler and can be rainy. Dungeness crab season kicks off in November, and mustard season runs January to April, when the vineyards come alive with bright yellow carpets of mustard. Personally, I always find May to be really nice. The crowds haven’t yet descended, prices are lower and the weather is sunny and warm every day.

Remember that Sonoma can be considerably more affordable in the off-season — November to early March, and especially in January and February. During this time, you’ll have more intimate experiences at the wineries, with chances to chat with the employees and owners. And you won’t need to reserve restaurants far in advance at some of the better known restaurants.

How much time should I spend in Sonoma?

Here’s the deal. There are many different Sonomas to visit. You could fill a weekend — or an entire week — visiting its various vineyards on a supreme wine-tasting quest. If you’re into history, you could spend a day exploring Spanish mission history and learning about the Bear Flag Revolt (a quickly quashed insurrection in 1846 in which a dozen grizzled men tried to establish the Republic of California) in the town of Sonoma; plus delving into the life and times of one of America’s favorite writers at Jack London State Historic Park in Glen Ellen. You could add on hiking through redwoods, kayaking the Russian River, exploring art galleries... the list goes on.

So how much time should you spend in Sonoma? If you have just a weekend, center yourself in one of the towns — Healdsburg or Sonoma are the best choices for first-timers. Visit nearby vineyards, savor long, farm-fresh meals, and soak in the surrounding beauty. This is, after all, what Sonoma is most beloved for. 

If you have more time, go beyond the wine-and-food theme by venturing to the coastline, where tiny fishing villages nestle into scenic coves and local fish joints serve up some of the freshest seafood around. Or stroll through towering, fog-shrouded redwoods at Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve ; or explore rolling hills and incredible Russian River views at Healdsburg Ridge Open Space Preserve. You could even throw down your beach towel at the Russian River and kayak or splash in the cool waters. It's possible to spend a week or more here and still have new things to see and do.

So which town should I stay in? 

These towns are the best choices for first-timers, each with their own vibe. They make good weekend getaway bases, and if you want to stay longer, try them both out!

This sophisticated small town, located in Sonoma’s northern realm, centers on Healdsburg Plaza, dating from 1872. Here, tasting rooms rub shoulders with locally owned boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, and more. You’ll find several bucket-list restaurants here, including SingleThread Farm Restaurant , offering refined tasting menus in an intimate setting; and Valette , where local farmers and winemakers showcase their craft to perfection; while it’s also known for luxe accommodations including Healdsburg Inn on the Plaza and Hotel Healdsburg . (There are plenty of other options in other price ranges as well.) Healdsburg is centrally located to more than 100 world-class wineries and tasting rooms, making it an ideal wine-tasting hub. Among the best are Dry Creek Vineyard , Williamson Wines , and Blanchard Family Wines , though honestly, you won’t go wrong anywhere you go.

If it’s history you’re after to complement your wine, Sonoma is it. For starters, this bustling town — a little bit larger than Healdsburg­ — is where you’ll find Mission San Francisco Solano (also called Sonoma Mission), the northernmost California mission, founded in 1823. Just like Healdsburg, Sonoma centers on a leafy square, lively with more than 100 tasting rooms, shops and restaurants. And, of course, there are wineries in the vicinity, too, including Buena Vista Winery , California’s oldest commercial winery (founded by Hungarian count Agoston Haraszthy e Moksa in 1857), whose caves have been declared historical landmarks. Among the many hotel options, luxurious Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa has mineral pools, farm-to-table dining, and balcony-adorned rooms, set on 13 acres of beautiful grounds. And if you’d like to sneak in a hike in between sips, Sonoma Overlook Trail is sublime, offering fabulous vistas over wild Sonoma.

What is the best way to get to and around Sonoma?

Charles M. Schultz–Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa offers nonstop flights from many major US cities — and it avoids traffic jams you may encounter driving from the San Francisco Bay Area. Otherwise, San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and Oakland International Airport (OAK) are 60 to 90 minutes away; rent a car and drive up US 101. Once you’re here, you will need a car to get around. That said, if you’re wine-tasting, you may want to consider a tour company such as Pure Luxury or California Wine Tours to take you around; many leave from San Francisco and most Northern California cities.

Which are your favorite wineries?

I would start off with Littorai Wines , in Anderson Valley. It’s small and family-run and has mastered sustainability — evident in its thriving acres of gorgeous farmland, meadows and woodlands. It’s not a fancy place, but it’s friendly, and its high-end, cool-climate chardonnays and pinot noirs are always good. Another favorite is Russian River Vineyards , in the heart of the gorgeous Russian River Valley. It’s rustic, casual and welcoming, with lots of food and wine offered by the glass and bottle; there’s often live music, and lots of dogs — a true “one stop shop estate.” Oh, and its wines are exquisite, including a silky Syrah that I adore. And I can’t forget Talisman Wine , famed for its pinot noirs. You can do a flight of different pinot noirs and see how different they can be, depending on the terroir, age, elevation, etc. Fascinating!

What is your favorite thing to do in Sonoma?

Drink wine! What I love most about Sonoma is that its wineries remain friendly and down-to-earth, like Napa was decades ago. And you’ll find clusters of them hidden away in breathtakingly bucolic areas. One of my favorite places to explore (and wine taste) is Dry Creek Valley near Healdsburg. If you follow West Dry Creek Rd, a quiet, rolling backroad winding past mountainscapes dotted with family-owned wineries, you’ll taste some of the region’s best. This is zinfandel country, with highlights including Quivira Vineyards , Preston Farms & Winery  and Bella Vineyards & Wine Caves . Pack a picnic lunch beforehand at one of the region’s delis and find an idyllic spot to enjoy along the way (you can’t go wrong with Lambert Bridge Winery’s gardens). The Dry Creek General Store is a good place to stock up.

I’m also an outdoor fanatic, and I love what Sonoma offers in that realm. The Russian River is sublime for water sports (I remember canoeing there as a child), the quiet, vineyard-edged roads are ideal for biking, and there’s plenty of hiking, too. I’ve already mentioned the Sonoma Overlook Trail, but other favorite hikes include the Pioneer Trail at Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve, beneath the redwoods; and the Kortum Trail in Sonoma Coast State Park, taking in cliff and ocean views. 

I also love popping into art galleries, and Sonoma’s towns are full of them. I still remember a stunning painting of a leopard in an Occidental gallery that I debated buying. All these years later, I wish I had.

How much money do I need in Sonona?

Sonoma is generally considered less expensive than neighboring Napa Valley , but that doesn’t mean you’ll lack comfort. You can still pull out all the stops, staying at such luxe venues as Farmhouse Inn and Montage Healdsburg , where prices can be more than $1000 a night. But you can also be more frugal at country inns and Airbnbs, or consider staying in a farther-flung location, such as Petaluma or Santa Rosa.

Meals also run the gamut, from vineyard-chic to picnic prudent — you’ll eat well, no matter what.

Remember that during the off-peak season, prices are generally lower—hotels, for example, can be up to 50% off their peak prices. Many places require a two-night stay during the high season.

A guide to daily costs

  • Basic room for two: The average price in high season is $500 and more, though you can find rooms for less than $200 for more basic venues, especially in Petaluma and Santa Rosa. 
  • Airbnb: Accommodations range from $100 to $300 a night.
  • Camping: Sonoma County Regional Parks features more than 200 year-round campsites on the Sonoma Coast and in the heart of wine country — you can choose sites among steep mountains, lakes, marshes, sandy beaches, flower-filled meadows and redwood groves. Reservations are required and can be made up to a year in advance. Prices range from $50 to $100 a night.
  • Coffee: $4 to $5
  • Brunch: $30
  • Sandwich at a deli: $10
  • Dinner for two: On average, you’ll spend upward of $125 to $200 for a nice wine country dinner with a bottle of local wine. 
  • Wine tasting: Wineries generally charge $25 to $65 per tasting.

What should I pack?

People always assume that California is warm, and even though the days can be hot in summer, the temps are always changing — and it always cools down at night. The key is to dress in layers, no matter the season. In winter you’ll need a warm coat.

Do I need to make reservations at wineries for wine-tasting?

Some wineries require appointments, and some don't. I recommend calling ahead anyway, especially in summer, for fear of losing out.

Is there a savings pass for wine-tasting?

The Priority Wine Pass is accepted by more than 350 wineries for two-for-one wine-tasting discounts throughout the state, including Sonoma (see the list here ). It also offers savings on cave tours, VIP tours, unique food pairings, hotels, transportation and free tastings that aren’t published anywhere. The pass costs $49 for three days ($69 for a year).

Did you say Sonoma is famous for Dungeness crab?

Yes! The small fishing village of Bodega Bay has them in abundance in season, which runs November through late June. There are lots of places to try them, but the Boat House is a local favorite. It’s a small shack along the side of the road serving up crabcakes, sandwiches and more. If there’s no room at one of the tables overlooking the water, place your order to-go at the counter and then head to the beach.

Are there any unique experiences I shouldn’t miss?

Sonoma offers all kinds of ways to experience wine country. Here are some of my favorites:

  • Food and wine tours are extremely popular, with the Healdsburg Wine & Food Walking Tours being one of the best. You’ll learn about local history and architecture as well as current food and wine trends.
  • Larger-than-life sculptures by Keith Haring, Doug Aitkin, and more dot the 200-acre Donum Estate ; the Carneros Experience will get you a walking tour of the estate as well as wine-tasting.
  • Buena Vista’s latest owner, Jean Charles-Boisset, is almost as eccentric as the original Hungarian owner-count; the winery hosts various living history extravaganzas throughout the year that shouldn’t be missed.
  • More than 10,000 tulips bloom every spring at Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery in Healdsburg. It’s spectacular!
  • Glamping at AutoCamp Russian River offers the chance to sleep in an Airstream beneath the redwoods. Very cool!

Are there off-the-beaten-path places to base myself?

Yes! Sonoma offers an eclectic range of towns beyond Sonoma and Healdsburg, all of which offer superior wine-tasting experiences. You might find lower prices as well. They include:

If you want to stay by the sea, tranquil, wind-swept Bodega Bay has an abundance of seafood (try Spud Point Crab Company ), wineries (the chardonnays and pinots at Sonoma Coast Vineyards shine) and supreme sunsets. This is where Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963-movie  The Birds was filmed; you can still see the creepy church.

Tucked into thick redwoods, bohemian Occidental is close to both the Pacific Ocean and the Russian River. You’ll find healthy restaurants, homegrown shops and art galleries here.

Perched on the Petaluma River, this small city is laid-back and artsy; it’s made a mark in the foodie realm, most notably with cheese — stop by the Petaluma Creamery , a local institution for more than a century.

This is a larger, sprawling town where you’ll find less-expensive chain hotels. It’s a good base for wineries, as well as the Russian River. Here, too, is the Charles M. Schultz Museum (the Peanuts cartoonist lived here for more than 20 years before his death in 2000), plus a world-class beer scene, including the Russian River Brewing Company . Expect to stand in line for up to six hours when its legendary Pliny the Younger triple IPA is released in spring.
