There are many wine tours available in the Sonoma Valley and what most people don’t realize is that finding budget Sonoma wine tours is very easy. Bicycle tours encompass a large part of the budget Sonoma wine tours, as do rental cars with designated drivers. The problem with budget bicycle Sonoma wine tours is that as the tour progresses, the cyclists tend to ride much slower and they fall off their bikes quite a bit.

This ends up making the group a little grumpy because they can’t make it to their final wineries and most of them have skinned knees or elbows from falling off so much. The problem with renting your own vehicle and driving is that the designated driver usually ends up sampling and this in itself is quite hazardous. So researching for budget Sonoma wine tours is a very good idea. There are many wine tasting tour companies who specialize in wine enthusiasts and can gear a tour to any budget.

Finding friendly and fun budget Sonoma wine tours is an easy endeavor. There are buses, vans, town cars, suburbans and stretch limousines that all cater to the connoisseur on any budget. Meeting new wine buddies on these tours from all over the world is a highlight of budget Sonoma wine tours.

The Tour

An example of one of the friendly and popular budget Sonoma wine tours is a tour in a custom stretch limousine. These tours run from $40.00 - $75.00 per person. There are generally 6 people per tour and a very experienced chauffeur. These budget Sonoma wine tours start early so you can get many wineries into your tour.

The wines that are tasted from these wineries are the fine Merlots, Cabernet Sauvignons, Zinfandels, Pinot Noirs and many other premium varieties. Most of the wineries are family owned and there are secret stories behind each one of them. The majority of the wineries were started a century ago so most of their vintage dated wines are produced and sold exclusively at that specific winery.

These budget Sonoma wine tours are lessons in winemaking techniques, architecture, history and hand crafted wine technology. So when planning your budget vacation, Sonoma wine tours should top your list. The wines, the people and the atmosphere make this tour an unforgettable experience of a lifetime.
