Day 1
(Arrival Day)
Welcome to Sonoma! Hotel check-in will be sometime between 3 and 4 p.m. If you arrive mid-afternoon, you'll definitely want to explore Sonoma Plaza's array of art galleries, museums and shopping. Your dinner reservation will be at one of Sonoma's top-rated restaurants.

*Note: If you are able to arrive at our shop by 9:30 a.m. on your Arrival Day, this can your first day of bike touring (instead of your Departure Day).

Day 2
After breakfast, you will arrive at our shop for your first guided Ride, Wine & Dine Bike Tour of the vineyards. We will start pedaling at about 10 a.m. Rest assured, our tours cater to the the tourist, not the cyclist.* The pace is casual, and the emphasis is on absorbing the scenery and sampling great wine.

Each bicycle tour covers approximately 15-20 miles, visiting four wineries, with a catered lunch served at the third winery overlooking the vineyards. Tours typically make it back to our shop around 4 p.m., so you’ll have time to unwind and relax before dinner at another great Sonoma restaurant.

We recommend scheduling your spa appointments for 4 p.m., so you can get in a full day's bike tour, enjoy your spa treatment and still have plenty of time to relax and get ready for dinner.

*You should know, we definitely have plenty of options to satisfy riders looking for more challenging terrain or extra mileage. Take a look at our Wine Country Workout Ride (described under Day 3). And let let us know if you want even more!

Day 3
After breakfast, you'll join us for your second guided Ride, Wine & Dine Tour of the vineyards. Each day you’re on tour with us, we’ll ensure you are on a different route with fresh scenery to enjoy and new wineries to visit.

Most of our vacation guests choose to stick with our daily Ride, Wine & Dine Bike Tours. But if you’re looking for more of an exercise-paced ride, we invite you to try our Wine Country Workout Ride. Our shop staff will set you up with a customized route map – catered to your specifications for mileage & terrain – so you can begin the day with 20‐30 self-guided “workout” miles, then meet up with the Ride, Wine & Dine Tour riders for lunch at a local winery. After lunch, you’ll join the Ride, Wine & Dine Tour for the remainder of the day, which will include a few more casual miles and one more winery stop.

Once again, after today's tour, you'll enjoy another relaxing spa treatment. You can choose to book your treatments all at the same spa, or we can suggest different properties if you want to mix it up. Later this evening, you'll get to experience another great Sonoma restaurant.

A dinner reservation will await you at another great local restaurant this evening.

Day 4
We'll meet after breakfast this morning for your third guided bike tour. On one of your tour days (not necessarily today), we’d like you to experience our Cycling "IN" the Vineyards Tour. You will be outfitted with mountain bikes for this excursion (don’t worry, the terrain isn’t technical) and we’ll take you to the Carneros wine-growing region where you will enjoy the unique chance to bike off-road through the vineyard property at one of our favorite wineries. Many of our guests tell us this unique adventure was the unexpected highlight of their trip!

Once again, you may have spa appointments scheduled this afternoon after your tour, and this evening you'll head out to another fabulous dinner on the town.

Day 5
(Departure Day)
Finish your packing and meet us for your final guided bicycle tour of the vineyards. After the tour, we can help you arrange to ship any purchases made during your stay.
