California wine tours make for a fun and scenic excursion. But you don’t have to go by car if you don’t want to. Here are 10 car-free ways to explore California wine country, and to make your vacation a little more personal.
1. Winery Tours by Bus
If you would like the convenience of driving but would rather leave it to someone else, a bus tour of the wine region is a great option. You can just relax, enjoy the scenery and sample the vintages while all off the driving and planning is taken care of.
2. Napa Wine Train
If a bus isn’t your thing, a Napa wine train tour can add some old fashioned romance to your trip. Gourmet meals, excursions and vineyard visits, and a relaxed, scenic journey… what could be easier?
3. Off-Roading Vineyard Tours
If you like the fun of off-roading and want to get up-close to wine growing, a jeep tour gives you both. Ride through the vineyard and learn all about the grapes and growing… and of course, sample the results.
4. Winery Tours on a Motorcycle
Rent a motorcycle from one of the many companies in the area, and rumble down the backroads. Your rental company can help you plan your routes and let you in on some of the more out-of-the-way areas of the California wine region.
5. Wine Tasting in Style
Avoid tourist traps and traffic jams, and tour wine country in style… and privacy in a limo. Don’t forget to sample a few of your vineyard purchases along the way, right from the back seat!
6. Touring Wine Country on Foot
Go at your own pace and join a walking or a hiking California wine tour. This is a great way to meet the winemakers and chat with them as you tour their vineyards and sample their wines.
7. Wine Region Touring for Cyclists
Whether you want a day trip or an entire biking adventure, explore California wine country along quiet backroads and byways on a bicycle. Stop for a picnic along the way!
8. Wine Tours by Horse
Slow it down a little, and explore the wine region either on horseback, or in a horse-drawn carriage. If you’re looking to add romance to your vacation, this is the perfect way to spend a day or two.
9. View the Wine Country from the Air
The perfect accompaniment to horseback tours, get an aerial view of wine country in a hot-air balloon. Enjoy a romantic sunrise breakfast while you float over the vineyards.
10. Outdoor Adventure Wine Region Tours
For a more adventurous tour, test your paddling skills in a kayak. You can choose a day excursion, or an entire package that also offers cycling and hiking.
