Description:

Work off your winetastings with a scenic 30–35-mile (48–56-km) bike ride through Dry Creek Valley and Alexander Valley. Loop back to Healdsburg at the end of your ride and hop in a comfortable van to check out 2 or 3 local estates and enjoy a gourmet wine country picnic among the vineyards.

Meet up with your guide in charming downtown Healdsburg and get situated on your road bike, gathering some tips on rules of the road before pedaling off in the direction of Dry Creek Valley’s rolling hills. Cruise down quiet country roads as you pass stretches of vineyards, and watch the fog lingering over the vines as sun begins to warm the Alexander Valley. Stop in historic Asti—whose vineyards California’s second-most-visited attraction after Disneyland in the 1950s—and learn about the rise of California winemaking as you stretch and take a water break.

Make your way back into Healdsburg and hop in a comfortable van for the second half of your excursion. Your guide describes the unique climate and characteristics of this sunny, coastal region as you make your way to 2 or 3 different area wineries for tastings. Tour the cellars, sip and swirl local varietals, and chat with the vintners before settling down for a gourmet lunch in a quiet picnic locale. Nibble on an artisanal array of cheeses, meats, salads, and fresh fruits while you soak up the scenery and the golden afternoon light.
