You step into a small, air-conditioned van in downtown Santa Rosa and the valley opens up: rows of vines slide past the window, the sun warming low-lying fog into ribboned light. In about four hours this join-in group tour moves through the gentle, oak-studded slopes of Sonoma Valley, stopping at two distinct wineries where the tasting rooms and vineyard views take center stage.
