Dry Creek & Alexander Valley
Wine Tours
 The beautiful Northern Wine Country of Sonoma County is quite possibly California's best kept secret, but not for long. The wine is excellent and rivals even the best of Napa Valley, the scenery is heaven, and the herds of tourist are nowhere to be found. Explore lush vineyards, small family owned wineries and large glorious estates, all along the Russian River countryside. Discover this treasure of a wine region for yourself.
Whether you are a first-time visitor, wine novice, or an experienced connoisseur, Appellation Tours can custom design a tour itinerary to meet your needs. The following example is our very popular Dry Creek Valley Wine Tour. If you would like to design your own custom itinerary, give us a call today and we will be happy to help you make the arrangements.
6 Hour Dry Creek Valley Wine Tour
(w/ Picnic Lunch Option)
This tour is a great choice for returning visitors who haven't fully explored Sonoma's Northern Wine Country. Your tour begins when we pick your party up at any Sonoma County location in your own private stretch limousine. Your group will be greeted by your own personal chauffeur/guide for the day, and pampered with complimentary champagne. On this tour you will visit four to five premium wineries and taste several different wine varietals from some of Sonoma's best kept secrets. Finally, no trip to the wine country would be complete without experiencing a catered gourmet picnic lunch at a scenic winery overlooking the vineyards. If you are looking for a slower-paced, less crowded backroads experience, then call us today to book this package. Availability is very limited, and we almost always sell out. This tour starts at 10:00AM from any Sonoma County location and returns by 4:00PM. Groups over 8 people may require a custom itinerary, please call for details.
