Russian River Valley or Dry Creek Valley Wine Tour by Segway
San Francisco, United States of America
Break away from the crowds and explore the Dry Creek Valley or Russian River Valley wine region on a Segway, a personal form of transportation that lets you enjoy an intimate experience of Sonoma wine country. Drive your Segway through the picturesque countryside dotted with vineyards as your guide takes you to several wineries for wine tastings and photo opportunities. The remote locations and exclusive atmospheres of these wineries will make this day a special and memorable experience.
Meet your guide in Healdsburg for a 20-minute Segway training. A Segway tour combines the quick pace of a coach tour with the relaxing atmosphere and fresh air of a walking tour, allowing you to experience Sonoma wine country at its best. Once you feel comfortable on your Segway, follow your guide through one of the most scenic locations in the country, pausing to snap photos along the way.
Choose to explore Dry Creek Valley or Russian River Valley, two epically beautiful wine regions in Sonoma County.
Dry Creek Valley Drive your Segway through various microclimates and into the historic Dry Creek Valley, a region famed for its zinfandel, cabernet sauvignon and sauvignon blanc.
With your guide, embark on a road less traveled, visiting three lesser-known wineries in the area: Ridge Vineyards, Mazzocco Winery and Quivira Vineyards. At these less-crowded wineries, enjoy wine tastings without fighting for space at the tasting counters. Before or after your visit to the wineries, stop for lunch or a snack -- outdoors, if possible -- to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Russian River Valley Travel through beautiful Russian River Valley, known for its chardonnays and pinot noirs. Feel free to ask your guide to take photos and videos of you and your family or friends with the rolling vineyards in the background -- these are included and will be sent to you via email after your tour.
Visit Rodney Strong Vineyards and J Vineyards to explore the grounds and enjoy wine tastings. Stop for a snack before heading to your last destination, the vineyards of the oldest working winery in Sonoma, Foppiano Vineyards.
Had a great time! Our Guide was lots of fun and we enjoyed the vineyards we visit they were friendly and educational. Would recommend it to anyone.

This was an amazing trip. I felt like i was flying thru the Tuscan region in Italy!! Michael our guide was a terrific Segway instructor and guide, and very knowledgeable about the area. The two family-owned wineries we went to were amazing and very delicious. 2.5 hours flew by.... needed to be a full day experience. I would definitely recommend it and hope to do it again.

This was the Russian River Valley Tour. Our guides, Jordan and Ben were great. The equipment was top notch. I think that because we had several VIP's from wineries, the time and emphasis was more on wine tasting at two winderies and less on riding the segways and enjoying the scenery. It was a beautiful day, the temp just right. I would have preferred less time in the winery and more time on the road.
