This six-hour cable car wine tour will be a Sonoma wine tour experience you will never forget. The vintage, open-air design of the early San Francisco cable cars offers a scenic view unmatched by any other touring vehicle. As you embark on a journey full of rich local history, you will meet fellow wine tasting enthusiasts, enjoy a Sonoma wine tasting tour at four unique Sonoma Valley wineries and learn what makes Sonoma Valley such a popular destination for wine tasting tours, wine lovers and foodies all over the world.
Sonoma Botanical Garden
The Sonoma Botanical Garden is a woodland experience where East meets West. Celebrating the beauty and importance of Asian and California native plants, the former quarry is home to a 25-acre Asian woodland garden, 22 acres of California native oak savanna, and a small Cabernet vineyard. Whether hiking up to expansive winter vistas, enjoying a leisurely walk through spring blooms, finding the perfect picnic spot in a shady summer oasis, or marveling at the riot of fall colors and textures, the Garden always offers delights for the senses. A different experience – every season, every time, for everyone.
Sonoma Ballooning
Your morning will begin three miles from downtown Sonoma at Sonoma Skypark, a quaint airport owned by a small community of local aviation enthusiasts. The airport’s special hangers shelter many antique and classic aircraft and it offers the perfect starting point for your morning adventure. After a brief orientation, you will be escorted to the launch site where you will marvel at the lively colors of our state-of-the-art balloons as they come to life. A few blasts of the burners and the balloon is upright and ready for you to load up!
