Vineyard Bike Tours

Tour the Roche Family’s Historic Ranch and Vineyards for a Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience!

Roche Winery and Wine Country Cyclery offer this one-and-a-half hour guided bike tour leads you through the heart of the Roche family’s beautiful 500-acre vineyard estate and operating cattle ranch. This memorable ride will take you through a scenic, private valley and over vine-covered hilltops, passing through more than 120 acres of Chardonnay and Syrah vineyards while enjoying views of bountiful wildlife and the San Pablo Bay below. The Roche Ranch is surrounded by over 2,000 acres of publicly owned and protected “dedicated” open space.

Here is a small taste of what you may encounter:

• Rolling hillsides dotted with native California Oaks, Carneros and Sonoma Coast Appellation vineyards, and San Francisco Bay Area views which take your breath away. In the mornings and evenings watch a flock of geese migrate from the San Pablo Bay to the Roche family’s private 49.9 acre-foot lake, their haunting cries echoing through the crisp air.
• Golden eagles, kestrels, red tail hawks and other birds of prey slice into the azure sky with their aerodynamic stunts and dives.
• Get up close and personal with some of the more than 500-head of cattle which graze on these same lands and the real American cowboys who manage the herd at a real operating cattle ranch.
• Sometimes on your ride you might even glimpse a wary coyote watching from afar, before it runs into the shadow of the oaks.

Guided Tours

Each 1 1/2 hour vineyard bike tour is led by a professional guide. Riders check-in at a designated parking lot located on the Roche Ranch. Tours include complimentary tasting of award-winning Roche wines following the ride at the Roche Winery Tasting Room located in downtown Sonoma, on the historical Sonoma Town Square.

After the Ride

At the end of the ride, before you depart to sip some of the wines at the Roche Winery tasting room, join your guide for complimentary Roche Winery estate grown olive-oil tasting and refreshments at the Roche family’s private picnic ground situated just above their 49.9 acre-foot lake.

After the end of you tour we invite you to sip the wines from the vineyard you just rode through…
