Sonoma, California, United States
“Wine is made in the vineyard, not the winery, as most winemakers acknowledge. Travelers can get out among cordons and clusters – maybe even nibble the new vintage right ... morefrom the vine – with the Sonoma Wine & Walking Tour…” – Wine Enthusiast
As a company and personally, we love Sonoma County and have been running tours to Sonoma for many years. On this tour, meet other wine lovers and like-minded people. On a small group tour, you have the opportunity to meet other people who have the same interests – travel, culture, food, and wine! You may even meet your next travel partner!
Sonoma's beauty comes from its diversity, ranging from 60 miles of Pacific coastline on the west to the Mayacamas Mountain on the eastern edge of Napa County; from the large expanses of rural fields including vineyards to quaint small towns, such as Geyserville and Healdsburg, where we base our trip. Sonoma County is also incredibly laid-back given the intensely successful nature of its tourism and wine industries.
Explore this wonderful and colorful wine region in an intimate and truly special way on our 3-day Sonoma Wine & Walking Tour. Having the opportunity to walk through the vineyards allows for you to have a much more intimate experience than if you would do this tour by car. Personally experience the winemakers’ personalities as they offer you a rich education in (and a better understanding of) the wine-making process, the local flora, and fauna, the views from a nearby ridge top, or even lunch among the vines – all experiences you wouldn’t have from the back seat of a car. This unique Sonoma County Vineyard Walk 3-day excursion includes a personal guide that will take you on invigorating walks through private vineyards, with each excursion ending in a local wine tasting.
TOUR ITINERARY
DAY 1
Depending on how and when you arrive in the area, our guide will meet you at 1:00 pm either at the Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa or our host hotel, whichever is more convenient for you.
From there, we’ll head straight to our first vineyard walk and wine tasting in the Russian River Valley. This AVA is named after the first non-native settlers to come to the area and has a rich history as many consider it the birthplace of Sonoma County wine because the first grapes were planted here. The Russian River Valley is known for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, as well as other cool-climate loving varietals.
After our walk and tasting, we will check into our hotel, if you haven’t done so already. If there is time prior to dinner, we recommend visiting one of the local tasting rooms. This evening we’ll enjoy a casual, but delicious dinner in the area.
DAY 2
Today, we’ll discover the picturesque Dry Creek Valley. This AVA produces a wide variety of excellent wines but is best known for their world-class zinfandels. Its diversity is due to the unique mix of different soil types, elevations, sun exposure, wind, and water – all within a narrow 16-by-2-mile valley. We’ll head out for our walk to explore another stunning vineyard and cap it off with a lovely wine tasting.
We recommend having lunch at the iconic Dry Creek General Store that was established in 1881 and offers a tasty variety of sustainably-made food. This afternoon, we’ll head to our second wine tasting of the day. If you have a specific place you’d like to visit, let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your request. Later, we’ll enjoy dinner at one of the world-class restaurants in the area.
DAY 3
On our last day together, we’ll meet after breakfast to head out for our last vineyard walk. After a couple scenic miles on foot, we’ll arrive at our final wine tasting of the tour. Afterward, we’ll head back to the hotel to check out. We’ll say our farewells and shuttle you back to the Santa Rosa airport or leave you to extend your stay in the area.
TOUR ACCOMMODATIONS
The Dry Creek Inn is a Tuscan-style getaway conveniently located in the northern part of Sonoma County, just outside of Healdsburg’s downtown area. Relaxing by the outdoor firepits, or lounging poolside with a glass of wine in hand, it is the perfect place to unwind from a busy day and your big city concerns.
*Please note: Hotels are subject to availability. If the listed hotel is not available at the time of the tour, a hotel that is equal or better to the original will be secured.
Tuscany is one of the great destinations of Italy and, indeed, of the entire world. The beautiful scenery comes from the large tracts of agricultural land placed on rolling hills, ... moredotted with cypress tress and crossed with the famous strada bianchior white-colored dirt roads.
It is hard to say whether Tuscany is better known for its food or its wine and this toss-up is what makes this region perfect for a combination Food & Wine Vacation.
We start our tour in Florence, capital of the Medici, and hit major areas including Chianti, Arezzo, Assisi, and Montepulciano, with a side trip into Umbria. Our days are filled with wine tastings, visits to local food producers and sellers, and even truffle hunting in the forests visited by few tourists.
Tuscany is a spectacular region for a vacation and there is no better way to visit than to focus on the local food and wine. (Note: We can cater to almost any food allergy or eating preference on this and all our tours.)
Tour Itinerary
DAY 1
We meet at our Florence hotel at 1:30 PM and set off on an exploratory walk of the city, focusing on the history and culture of the city through the eyes of a food lover. (If you wish to visit the David or any of the other impressive historical sites, you should plan on arriving to Florence a day early.) Your guide, Giovanni, is a wealth of knowledge about all things Tuscany – food, wine, history, and culture. In the late afternoon, we’ll stop at B.Gallo, a “loungeaperitif” where we’ll toast the waning day with a Prosecco, the famous Italian sparkling white wine.
We’ll then make our way to a quaint family-owned restaurant for a lovely welcome meal. After dinner, we head back to the hotel and rest up for tomorrow’s adventures – our first full food and wine day in Tuscany.
DAY 2
We check out of our hotel and begin our day by exploring the Saint Ambrogia Market. This diverse market is less touristy than say Mercato Central which means we get a glimpse of how everyday Tuscans shop for their daily meals. We’ll have time to stop and sample the wares of the various merchants along the way.
Next, we are off to one of the most famous wine regions with one of the most famous wine styles in Italy: Chianti. Our first stop is the picturesque city of San Gimignano, a small medieval walled town famous for its dozen or so towers sticking up into the sky. After exploring the town on foot, we’ll head to the local Fattoria Poggio Alloro for a lunch of food products from this farm, such as the Chianina brand of beef and the saffron spice which has been locally grown since the 13th century, paired with the white wine Vernacciadi, also grown on site.
Next on our agenda is the winery Castello di Volpaia, which is located in a fortified village of the same name and where we’ll do a tasting of the famous Chianti Classico wine. We finally head to our hotel for the night, Dievole, an exquisite country retreat on 1000 acres with vineyards that were planted as early as 1090 – over 900 years ago! We’ll visit their cellars and then eat dinner outside in the garden if the weather is good, with wines from the estate paired with our courses
DAY 3
We drive in the morning to Arezzo to visit Vestri Cioccolato, a chocolate maker that has been producing delicious chocolate for 30 years and which owns its own farm in the Dominican Republic. Not only do they make their own chocolate but they also roast their own coffee. We’ll learn about the chocolate-making and roasting processes and, of course, sample a few of their creations.
We then jump back in our vehicle to transfer to the center of town where you can explore the various cafes and restaurants for lunch on your own. After lunch, we visit the nearby small town of Anghiari, famous as the site of the Battle of Anghiari in 1440 between the armies of Florence and Milan. This is also your guide Giovanni’s home in Tuscany.
Next, we’ll visit the world-famous Busatti linen factory, sold in such outlets as William & Sonoma. This family-run business has been based in Anghiari since 1842. The factory tour is extremely interesting and you can purchase products to take home, although they are not cheap!
We head to the walled town of Sansepolcro to check into our hotel for an hour’s rest and then visit a local hotspot, Enoteca Guidi, which is a combination wine bar and restaurant that serves outstanding local cuisine in a casual setting.
DAY 4
Most tourists don’t make it to the section of Tuscany called the Upper Tiber Valley. Even fewer travel to the hamlet of Badia Tedalda, 40 minutes up into the Apennine Mountains. But it is here we will travel this morning, specifically to visit Augusto Verando Tocci, a botanist famous for his pursuit of the equally famous truffle.
Verando will take us into the forest with his trusted dog to look for truffles, which can be found in this area at any time of the year. Successful or not, we will return to his home to participate in a cooking class and lunch involving many of the edible plants and roots found in the forest, including the local liquor Spinello.
After lunch, we’ll return to Sansepolcro for walking tour of this adorable village with a stop at Pasticcera, a local bakery and artisanal gelateria. Many gelato stores in Italy do not make their own product but purchase it from a big manufacturer, so this will be a special visit.
Our dinner tonight is at Relais Palazzo di Luglio, situated on 30 acres in the countryside outside Sansepolcro. The owner Giuliano previously owned one of the most successful restaurants in town and produces an elegant, traditional Tuscan dinner featuring whatever is in season.
DAY 5
Yes, this is a food and wine tour of Tuscany but nearby Umbria is well worth a visit. We’ll start out with a visit to the very small and local olive oil mill of Emanuele Ragani and his family. Emanuele will not only show us how the mill, with an actual grist stone, operates but will fire up a wood oven, heat up bread, and pour delicious olive oil on top for a tasting.
We then head to Assisi, the city made famous by St. Francis, for a tour of the city and the church where he is buried. Assisi is a great town to walk around on your own, with many shops and restaurants, and we are on our own here for lunch. After lunch, we’ll head to Arnaldo Caprai winery, a leading producer of the wine Sagrantino di Montefalco. If you have never had Umbrian wine before, you will be impressed.
After our wine tasting, our time in Umbria is ended and it is back to Tuscany as we drive to Cortona, made famous by the book Under the Tuscan Sun our home for the evening. We’ll check into our hotel and then walk to dinner at La Bucaccia, rated the top restaurant in Cortona on Trip Advisor (out of 84 restaurants) serving, as one recent reviewer wrote, “wild boar ragu with tagliatelle, pici with an intense tomato sauce, a pecorino flan, seasonal vegetable soup, and bruschetta to die for.”
DAY 6
The Val d’Orcia is one of the most beautiful sections of Tuscany, which is one of the most beautiful provinces of Italy, which is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. We are in a good place!
We’ll start our tour by visiting the city of Pienza, perched high above the valley and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. (The entire valley is designated a World Cultural Landscape.) After a quick historical walking tour of the city, we’ll head to a local farm that specializes in making pecorino, the ubiquitous local sheep’s cheese. We’ll learn about the process, have a taste of the fresh cheese, and eat a nice picnic lunch right on the farm.
It is then on to Montepulciano, another famous hilltop town, where you will have an hour to wander the streets on your own. We then gather together again to visit Cantine Gattavecchi for a tour of their barrel room and tasting of the local wine, the outstanding Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Heading back to Cortona, we’ll share a final meal together at the Locanda al Pozzo Antico, a fine dining establishment run by the owner Paola where we’ll try to outdo our previous successes with Tuscan cuisine.
DAY 7
We’ll take a post-breakfast walk of Cortona, as Giovanni will point out some of the important sites that featured in Under the Tuscan Sun. You are then free to take the train or a shuttle onwards to Florence or Rome (Check out Extend Your Stay: What To Do in Italy). Or perhaps you’ll follow the theme of the book and decide to stay in Tuscany?

Tour Itinerary
DAY 1 IN BRUSSELS
Welcome to Brussels, Belgium!
Our journey starts after lunch, allowing you to arrive in Brussels this morning or the evening before. After a few short introductions, we head out for a walk around the beautiful city of Brussels, visiting ancient sites including Europe’s most impressive plaza, The Grand Place.
We’ll taste arguably the world’s best chocolate along with Belgian Beer at Laurent Gerbaud. Afterwards, we hop on a local train to head to Brasserie Cantillon for a tour and tasting of this unique brewery.
Cantillon uses natural yeasts that are present in the air around us for fermentation. From there we will walk to have a conversation, craft beers and craft cheeses with our friend Jean Hummler at Moeder Lambic.
This evening we’ll enjoy Belgium’s typical food specialties and beer cuisine at Restobières not far from The Grand Place.
DAY 2 IN BRUGES
Today we travel to the northwestern part of Belgium, to the city of Bruges in a special region known as Flanders. Bruges is known for its rich history, impressive architecture, tasty food, and great beer cafés. Once we stop off at our hotel, we explore by foot on a walking tour of this grand city.
We end our walk with an educational tour and our own blending session at Bourgogne des Flandres. Bourgogne des Flandres specializes in the Flemish beer blending tradition of mixing fresh beer with aged beer to create a perfect balance of flavors.
We then head to lunch at one of the last remaining family-owned breweries in the Bruges city center, Brewery De Halve Maan. You may have heard about their new 2-mile beer pipeline they recently built leading from their brewery in city center to their bottling plant in an industrial area. The pipeline carries 1,500 gallons of beer an hour at 12 mph, which has saved them hundreds of truck trips a year. When you see the narrow, historic streets of Bruges, you will wonder how the tankers ever made their way through originally!
After the tour, we make our way to t’ Brugs Beertje where we’ll have the choice of 300+ Belgian beers. These beers include commercial brands, seasonal varieties, and unique and hard-to-find brews.
DAY 3 IN BRUGES & WATOU
Today we begin with a tour and tasting at the Rodenbach Brewery, where they have world-renowned cask halls with 294 oak casks, some of which are 150 years old. Rodenbach was started in 1821 and is famous for their barrel-aged sour beers that are brewed in the Flemish red style.
Next, we pack up and drive to St. Bernadus Breweryin Watou. This is also where we will be staying overnight as they have a B&B attached to the brewery. We’ll grab lunch and have a chance to sample their blonde and dark abbey ales. But don’t fill up too much as we make our way through fields of wheat, barley, and hops to arrive In de Vrede at St. Sixtus Abbey, a fully functioning abbey where the monks are world-famous for producing fantastic Westvletren Belgian-style beers. This is one of the only places in the world where you can buy these highly sought after beers.
We then head back to our lodging at the St. Bernadus Brewery to relax before enjoying a delicious dinner at the Hommelhof, known for its beer-based heavenly cuisine.
DAY 4 IN YPRES & GHENT
We start our morning with another lovely scenic drive through the varied, wooded landscapes, hop fields, and hilly roads as we depart Watou heading for Ypres. The WWI Battle of Ypres had reduced the town to rubble and was almost entirely destroyed. After the war, the citizens of Ypres meticulously reconstructed the town’s most important buildings, which in turn give it modern day medieval feel today.
During our stop, we’ll enjoy lunch at a newer brewery that opened in 2014 but is housed in a building with quite a bit of history. Kazematten‘s building was originally built as part of Louis XIV’s fortress back in the 1680s and used for storing weapons into the 20th century. We’ll get to taste their Grotten Sante, a spicy dark brown beer, and their Wiper Times 14, a highly fermented blond beer.
We then head for one of our favorite cities in all of Europe, Ghent, where we will be staying for the night.
DAY 5 IN GHENT
Our day starts with Champagne! Champagne Beer that is.
Today we head for the village of Buggenhout, where we’ll visit Malheur, known for their traditional Champagne-style beers. Afterwards, we return to Ghent where you will have some time on your own to explore the city, find a nice place for lunch, and maybe do some shopping.
We’ll then meet at one of our favorite breweries, Gruut. Their beers are unique because they use special spices (gruit) instead of hops to flavor and preserve their beers.
At this point in our tour, we have seen and experienced an abundance of Belgian history. For a change of pace, we will be dining at a restaurant where history meets the modern day. The Belga Queen is located in an 18th-century landmark building but inside it boasts contemporary architecture with a gastro-pub menu.
One of the best ways to taste the wide variety of beers available in Belgium is in Beer Cafes (bars) and there are several outstanding beer cafes for us to explore in Ghent either before or after dinner, including the historic Herberg De Dullie Griet just off one of the oldest squares in the city. When you order a beer here, they take one of your shoes and hoist it in a basket to the ceiling! You’ll get your shoe back when you return the glass.
DAY 6 IN HERZELE & BRUSSELS
After a leisurely breakfast, we’ll check out of our hotel and begin our journey back to where we began, Brussels. But we’ll, of course, have to whet our whistle along the way and stop at the Brewery De Ryck in Herzele.
Brewery De Ryck is a 4th generation family-owned brewery whose current brewmaster, Anne De Ryck, is one of Belgium’s first (and few) female brewmasters. We will also have the chance to explore the ruins of the Herzele Castle that date back to the beginning of the 7th century before getting back on the road to Brussels.
To cap off the night, we’ll stop into a few of Brussel’s world famous beer cafes to raise a toast to our final evening together.
DAY 7 IN BRUSSELS
On our final morning, we’ll have breakfast in the hotel and bid each other farewell.
You are then free to continue on your travels – take a return home, stay in Brussels for another day, or perhaps take the high-speed train to Paris, London or even Amsterdam!

You will receive a warm ... morewelcome from the residents of renowned medieval hill towns. Tuscany offers you a chance to share in the best of Italian life with its original cuisine.

This excursion will take you to olive oil regions and wine territories, Roman and medieval villages, allowing you to experience Tuscany at its best.

In 217 BC, some 16,000 Romans were executed after a cunningly planned ambush carried out by Hannibal and his army under the consul Flaminius. This crucial historical battle is described on the numerous attractive panels and signposts that you will encounter along the way. This route is famously called the "Hannibal's Route."
