Santa Rosa, USA

6 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Embark on a private, small-group guided caravan experience through West Sonoma County’s hidden gems — ancient redwoods, a behind-the-scenes artisan creamery, scenic coastal backroads, and a gourmet beach picnic with local charcuterie and wine.

Guests travel in their own vehicles while following the guide’s car between stops, then come together to relax, explore, and connect with fellow travelers at each destination. The day is thoughtfully curated with timed reservations and one-time experiences, allowing for a smooth, well-orchestrated flow without feeling rushed.

Cap the day with an optional boutique wine tasting, often the last available reservation of the afternoon — a relaxed and memorable finale to an insider Sonoma County adventure.
