The Northern California wine region is truly a feast for the senses. With a natural gift of fragrant fields, mountains, and redwood groves, the area boasts amazing weather that – in turn – brings spectacular conditions for some of the world’s finest wine grapes, olives, farm-fresh produce, artisan cheeses, and more.

While the rolling vineyards and hundreds of world-class wineries are often the stars here, the area is also the center of handcrafted epicurean specialties, luxury spas, small gourmet restaurants, and a casual joie de vivre typically associated with only the best European lifestyle.

Just an hour north of San Francisco, the vine-covered valleys and oak & redwood studded hillsides of Napa and Sonoma await you…and your Vespa. Our Wine Country Vespa guides are enthusiastic locals who will escort you to out-of-the-way spots that limousines and tour buses wouldn’t dare to tread. They will unlock the secrets of wine country for you while creating life-long memories that you’ll bring home and savor. Some of the visits that we’ll make along the way include:

• Private vineyards where celebrated winemakers share the techniques and passion behind their award-winning vintages

• A fragrant lavender farm where natural bath & home products are lovingly crafted by hand

• Olive oil tastings where dipping crusty bread in the freshest fruit will forever change the way you think about oil

• An organic kitchen demonstration where only local ingredients combine to create mouthwatering, field-fresh recipes

• Panoramic vista points and scenic overlooks for photo-ops that stretch for nearly a hundred miles

• A unique enzyme spa treatment where tranquility and renewal are the main menu

• A casual walks, shopping opportunities, art exhibits, bocce ball, bicycling, and plenty of free time to sample the local vibe

Meals are included, except for breakfasts. Expect the following delights:

- an unforgettable winemaker’s dinner hosted by one of the region’s top vintners and a Sonoma celebrity chef – typically at Charlie Palmer’s Dry Creek Kitchen in Healdsburg.

- two delicious, al fresco, homemade organic lunches served among the vineyards…catered especially for us.

Our trips feature an evening in an elegant, boutique hotel – one consistently receiving top reviews from Conde Naste Traveler and Travel & Leisure Magazine.  There is a special Wine Country Vespa rate available to all riders.
