Why Choose Sonoma Wine Rides
Boutique Wineries You Won't Find on Your Own
We skip the big-name, high-traffic tasting rooms. Instead, we take you to small-production
wineries where the winemaker might pour your glass personally — the hidden gems that
locals love but most visitors never discover.
Your Guide Is a Sonoma Local
Our guides live in Sonoma County and know the winemakers, the back roads, and the best
lunch spots. You'll get insider recommendations that no travel app or guidebook can match.
Door-to-Door Pickup & Drop-Off
No designated driver needed, no rideshare coordination, no parking hassles. We pick you up
from your hotel, Airbnb, vacation rental, or B&B and bring you back safely at the end of the
day. Relax and enjoy every single tasting.
Rated 4.9 Stars by Over 150 Guests
Our guests consistently rate us among the top wine tour experiences in Sonoma County. From
the first pour to the ride home, every detail is designed to make your day unforgettable.
Sonoma Valley: Known as the “Valley of the Moon,” Sonoma Valley is where California winemaking began. Explore historic estates and family-owned vineyards producing world-class Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon — all within minutes of the charming Sonoma Plaza.
Russian River Valley: Fog-kissed mornings and warm afternoons create the perfect growing conditions for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Russian River Valley is home to some of Sonoma County’s most acclaimed wineries, with a laid-back atmosphere that feels a world away from the crowds.
Dry Creek Valley: Zinfandel country at its finest. Dry Creek Valley’s sun-drenched hillsides produce bold, fruit-forward reds alongside crisp Sauvignon Blancs. This narrow valley north of Healdsburg is one of Sonoma’s best-kept secrets — intimate tasting rooms, stunning vineyard views, and unforgettable wines.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many wineries do we visit?
Our group tours visit three carefully selected boutique wineries over 5–7 hours. Private tours
are fully customizable — visit as many wineries as your group would like throughout the day.
​
Are tasting fees included?
Tasting fees are included with our Food & Wine Pairing tour. For group and private tours,
wineries charge their own tasting fees (typically $20–$40 per person), though fees are often
waived when you purchase wine or join a wine club.
​
Where do you pick up?
We offer complimentary pickup from Santa Rosa, Windsor, and Kenwood/Glen Ellen. Pickups
from Healdsburg, Petaluma, Sonoma, Rohnert Park, Cotati, and Sebastopol are available for a
small fee for our join in group tours. We can also arrange pickups from Napa and the San Francisco Bay Area upon
request for our private tours.
​
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes — our small group sizes mean tours fill up quickly, especially on weekends and during
harvest season from August through October. We recommend booking at least a few days in
advance to secure your preferred date.
​
Is Sonoma Wine Rides licensed and insured?
Absolutely. We operate under CPUC Authority TCP 38887-A and carry full commercial
insurance for your complete peace of mind.
​
What should I wear?
Dress comfortably. Wine country is casual — we recommend layers since mornings can be
cool and afternoons warm. Comfortable walking shoes are a plus, as some wineries have
gravel paths or hillside vineyards.
