Bike around Healdsburg (Sonoma Valley, CA)

Rent a bike and actually see wine country — not just drink it.

Why go: Renting bikes from Wine Country Bikes and spending a morning riding through vineyards, farmland, and pretty neighborhoods is genuinely one of the best things you can do in Sonoma. It’s leisurely, beautiful, and feels nothing like a tourist activity — even though it absolutely is one.

What we’d do again: The 20-mile route. Ask for the Trek Verve if you want a comfortable hybrid that keeps up with whoever you’re riding with.

Get Your Guide also has a guided tour option.
