Top 9 Tours in Santa Rosa, California (CA)
If you're into wine-tasting, a weekend in Santa Rosa is certain to be satisfying. But this region of magnificent redwoods, rolling hills and ocean vistas has a great mix of other fun pastimes as well. Located right in the center of the Sonoma County wine region, Santa Rosa is home to several vineyards with world-class wines, rich histories and beautiful surroundings. The Matanzas Creek Winery offers June and July visitors a chance to enjoy its aromatic fields of blooming lavender, but its Estate Gardens and spectacular scenery are tourist draws year-round. If golf is your passion, grab your clubs and spend a relaxing afternoon at Fountaingrove or one of the other popular courses. Young and old alike will delight in the Charles M. Schulz Museum, which chronicles the evolution and history of Snoopy and the "Peanuts" gang. With wine or without, a trip to Santa Rosa is one you'll never forget.

My wife, son and girlfriend took the Bodega Bay Bike & Hike Tour Thursday, July 9th on a last minute whim. We spoke to the owner (Frieda) the day before and she was high spirited and very nice to deal with. Since my wife and I had our own bikes, she gave us a $20 discount. We decided to meet in Bodega bay at 10:00am. Omar met us with a trailer with 2 bikes for my son and his girlfriend. Omar introduced himself, explained what the 3 hrs will consist of and made sure we all had water and reassured us overall this was an easy bike ride except for one road with an incline where he mentioned we could walk our bike if we’d like. Safety was never an issue. Well, Omar was an exceptional Tour guide and was very informational and easy going. The bike ride was amazing. We saw deer, various birds (mostly egrets and seagulls) as the weather was perfect. We also had a 2 mile easy hike that overlooked Bodega Bay. As we biked back, we stopped at Spud Point Crab Company for some delicious New England Calm Chowder that was included in the Tour fee. Overall, I rate our experience with 5 stars! Thank you Frieda and Omar. We are now thinking of taking the Nike and Wine Tour next.

excellent tour with an outstanding guide, Gary. Went to three small vineyards that we would have never found and enjoyed them all. Each one different and unique in their own way. After exploring some of the larger wineries on our own this was a good change.

Freida was an amazing tour guide! The conversation was light and warm, she took us to 3 breweries, and give us additional historical background on each area we biked to! The beer was cold and tasty, and each place we attended followed social distancing rules and regulations. Freida even did the same, which made us feel even more safe during the tour. The biking part of the tour is a good biking distance for a novice. It won’t have you gasping for air, but you’ll get a nice workout in between beer flights. I would definitely go on this tour again, It was an overall fun time to be had!

Today Francesco was the driver and tour guide for a wonderful day of wine tasting in Napa. Francesco is the most pleasant and knowledgeable driver you will ever know. We started our day at 8 am when Francesco picked us up at our downtown SFO hotel. We are a group of 5 seniors in town to celebrate a family wedding. When we got into Francesco’s Expedition we told the driver that we had wanted to do wine tasting in Sonoma/Napa but we were afraid to get to close to the ongoing fires. Francesco assured us that he could lead us to terrific wineries without coming close to smoke or fire. Off We Went. Francesco found us just the right spot for breakfast. Next we went to a winery that specialized in sparkling wines. We tasted wines in a gorgeous garden setting. After our sparkling tasting we boarded the SUV and stopped at a smaller family winery and tasted some outstanding whites and reds. By this time the group was ready for lunch. Again, Francesco listened to our request for great burgers and in 5 minutes time we were enjoying our delicious lunch. By 3:30 we were ready to head back into town. Rush hour traffic was beginning to happen. Francesco stayed upbeat and pleasant and spent the next hour telling us fun and entertaining facts about vineyards and wines and landmarks. In all, we spent 9 hours together. Everyone enjoyed every minute!
