Itinerary
Print Itinerary- Day 1
Pastoral Sonoma
Your guides will meet you in San Francisco, and we’ll transfer you north across the Golden Gate Bridge towards Santa Rosa. We’ll start with the essentials: a bike fitting, safety talk, and map review before our first ride takes us past Sonoma’s rural ranches and pastoral farms. Enjoy lunch at our favorite local farm-to-table restaurant before getting back on our bikes as the roads take us through seas of vineyards to the heart of Healdsburg and onwards to your hotel. Tonight, we’ll join our friend Mary for a private dinner at the beautiful Healdsburg winery she owns with her husband Bob. A winemaker and self-taught chef, Mary dazzles us with her culinary talents, pairing each dish with unique tales from the vineyard and the estate’s fabulous wines.

We’ll stop for a picnic lunch in the shade of towering redwoods at a local reserve.
