The Tastes of Sonoma Bike Tour

*Unique Experience!*

• ***Our Behind the Scenes Sonoma Bike Tour is popular for good reason:*** *You’ll enjoy the unique experience of bicycling through wine country – visiting two local wineries for tastings – and still finish early enough to make other plans for your afternoon! Don’t let the beautiful scenery pass you by while you sit inside a car, van or limo. Get out and experience the vineyards up close, engaging all five of your senses to create memories you’ll never forget.*

Bikes

• **Electric (pedal assist) Bike & Regular Bike (Ages 21+):**

Our pedal assist bikes allow each rider to control the amount of assistance from a standard bike with zero assistance to full assist mode. This is designed to create an experience for all levels of riders, relaxed and care free.

You will select your bike in the reservation process.
