What You’ll See & Do

Climb aboard this unique hand-built replica of a California street cable car. Don’t worry about organizing the tastings or researching the vineyards, we’ll provide you with a complete itinerary based on our expert local knowledge. No need to have a designated driver as the cable car has its own driver to pick you up and drop you off at vineyards along the route.

Throughout the tour, you will learn about how natural features such as location, climate, and volcanic soils affect the taste of the wines in your glass. You’ll also find out about how the wineries are constantly evolving and becoming more innovative. We’ll have three tastings from a selection of Sonoma’s best wineries, tasting rooms, cellars, and urban wineries. Try different varietals such as cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, pinot noir, and much more. Each tasting is with a winery educator who will explain the varietals we taste and the background of the winery.

We’ll also get a chance to explore Sonoma throughout the day on your wine trolley ride. We’ll pass historic landmarks, including the Sonoma and Swiss Hotels; General Vallejo’s soldier barracks, home, and state park; Mission San Francisco Solano (Sonoma Mission); the Bear Flag Monument; and the quaint town of Glen Ellen (where Jack London spent his final years).

We’ll pause for lunch at one of the stops in the valley. Weather permitting, lunch is usually served among vineyard views, courtyards, or wine cellars.
