More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pull up the driveway in a black Yukon XL and the valley opens: low ridgelines, rows of vines angling toward the sun, and the soft chime of tractor work in the distance. A private Sonoma wine tour compresses the broad landscape—Kenwood’s oak-lined slopes, Glen Ellen’s intimate tasting rooms, and Healdsburg’s polished plazas—into a single, flexible day. The rhythm is yours: linger under pergolas, move on when a view or vintage demands it.
