Your journey begins at the historic Sonoma Plaza, the heart of Sonoma Valley. From here, you’ll head into the valley and discover the beauty and diversity of Sonoma's terroir.

After passing the Benzinger Family Winery, pay a visit to Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, where you can enjoy breathtaking views, serene hiking trails, and a majestic waterfall. Then get the scoop on Chateau St. Jean Winery, featuring elegance straight out of the French countryside.

Next, find out what makes different wine varietals so special, and how to know which one is the right choice for you.

Then it’s time to head into Napa Valley. First, you’ll visit the Old Faithful Geyser of California, a spectacular geothermal feature that erupts regularly!

Castello di Amorosa awaits you next, a stunning medieval-inspired castle and winery. After that you’ll find Charles Krug Winery, Napa Valley's oldest winery, offering a blend of history and exceptional wines.

Continuing on, you’ll hear the dramatic rise and fall of the powerful Mondavi family, who feuded over Napa vineyards for years. Perhaps you’ll want to stop at V. Sattui Winery next, known for its picturesque picnic grounds. Or maybe you’d rather stretch your legs and hike the scenic Silverado Trail?

Finally, you’ll reach Bliss, an iconic viewpoint straight out of a Windows XP desktop… literally! Your tour concludes beside this world-famous view.

And this is only a sampling of the many, many wineries, overlooks, and stories you’ll experience on your drive. This self-guided tour is the ultimate Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley experience. So what are you waiting for?
