Wine Country Bike Tours - Starting in Healdsburg - Sonoma County
Ride on some of Sonoma County's most beautiful roads! We will spend the day in Dry Creek Valley, cycling on country lanes and visiting three to five wineries. Dry Creek Valley is known for its spicy reds and great white wines and we will bring you to our favorite wineries to sample fine wine created from the vines we will be cycling past.
Description
We check you in at 9:30 AM. This gives you ample time to finish your delicious B&B breakfast or make the drive up from virtually anywhere in the Northern California region. We then fit you to a Cannondale Comfort bike along with a helmet, bag, and comfortable gel-seat. Your leader goes over the “Rules of the Road” as well as how to operate the bike. We're off on a guided tour at about 10:00 AM with your leader explaining the sights and some of the wine jargon / history. We travel the quiet country lanes to our first winery stop. After a tour of the grounds we taste the wine and then move along to our second winery and tasting. The support van is nearby for wine purchases or another bottle of water. We cycle along easy and flat roads to our third winery and our picnic spot.
Details
Dining with Getaway is quite an event. First we pick a table under big shade oaks with a view of the valley.
Next comes out the linen tablecloth, china and silverware. Fruit and bread baskets round out the setting; then the food! Typical is Pesto pasta salad, local organic salad greens, fresh baked bread, exotic cheeses, seasonal fruit, and dessert.
After our lunch we return to our bikes rested and recharged. Of to our third winery and more excellent wines. After a tasting, we then ride to the starting point ariving around 3:30 p.m. Here we bid you farewell and thank you for riding with us!
