“The Sonoma Coast Tour is breathtaking.
We LOVED our trip! Each day presented
a different landscape - from the
vineyards to the Redwoods to the coast.
This was our first experience with a vacation by bike…and it certainly won’t be our last!"

This extraordinary bike tour combines the best of the California Wine Country and the magnificent Sonoma Coast. Tour quiet roads through sprawling vineyards. Marvel at the majesty of towering redwoods during a spin below their cathedral-like canopy.
Enjoy a breathtaking bike ride down the coast with stunning ocean views as your constant companion. Fragrant eucalyptus groves and sprawling farmland paint a quiet corner of Sonoma that is one of California's best kept secrets for exceptional cycling.
Tour the back roads of Dry Creek, Alexander Valley and Chalk Hill by bike. A private tour, tasting, and picnic at a revered estate winery enhances an appreciation for the beauty and bounty of the Wine Country. Explore the trendy boutiques of chic Healdsburg, the region's most alluring town.
Enjoy a spectacular hike above the pounding surf on a coastal headland. Seals, sea lions, and even migrating gray whales are often visible from shore. Deer and shorebirds often appear in the fields overlooking the sea during our walk.
This bicycling vacation offers a wide choice of cycling options. Standard routes are designed for leisure recreational cyclists while epic options provide a challenge to those seeking higher mileage and more undulating terrain.
With two nights on the coast, you will have a chance to opt for a spa treatments, a tour of the bay by sea kayak or a horseback ride along the beach. Bodega Bay is a haven for sea lions, rays, and a host of resident and migratory waterfowl. Those who are up for it can challenge themselves on a famed local ride that is often part of the Amgen Tour of California, a professional bike race.
Top lodging, food and wine provide fabulous off-the-bike enjoyment throughout the tour. Enjoy a privately hosted dinner and wine pairing at a local family winery. Relax and indulge in the region's top-rated Wine Country accommodations including Madrona Manor, recently named #10 in Travel & Leisure's Top 100 Inns. Pamper yourself with a spa treatment and be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the ocean at the Bodega Bay Lodge & Spa. The final evening of your vacation will be enhanced by charming hospitality during your stay at the lovely Inn at Occidental. The Inn is a member of the Select Registry and the Unique Inns.
