Summer is well underway and it’s time to plan your vacation. Whether you are planning a romantic getaway for two, a family vacation, or group trip, Sonoma County has something special to offer everyone. Depending on whether you want to relax in the country, plan a memorable adventure, or get away from it all in a natural setting, there are several fun options available.
1. One of the biggest attractants to Sonoma County in the summer is the wine. Although there are several different places along the coast you might choose for a wine tour, Sonoma County offers some extraordinary options for touring. The Big Red Engine Company, for example, offers thrilling tours of the country while riding in a fire truck. This is a great option if you are vacationing with a group of eight or more people.
Alternatively, Flying Horse Carriage Company offers a more romantic tour of four fine wineries. Also included is a light lunch of cheeses, bread, fruit, olives and chocolate. For a special vacation with your loved one, this tour might be the best option.
If you are more interested in a traditional experience, Healdsburg Wine Tours offers private tours for two to six persons. These tours may be taken for a minimum of 4 hours on weekdays and 5 hours on weekends in SUV or town cars provided by the company.
2. For a more exciting and breathtaking view of the country, Up and Away Ballooning offers hot air balloon tours for couples, families, and large groups. If you’ve never been in a hot air balloon before, Sonoma County’s beautiful country will offer awe-inspiring views from above.
3. Safari West Wildlife Preserve will take you on a wild ride through the African Safari right here in California. Barring a trip to the African Safari, you won’t find another wildlife conservation area quite like this one. With roughly five hundred animals ranging from giraffes, to cheetahs, and zebras, this wildlife preserve and tent camp offers truck tours and private animal encounters. For an educational and unforgettable visit to Sonoma County, Safari West Wildlife Preserve is a great option.
4. If you’d rather spend your time on the water, Lake Sonoma and the Russian River are open for canoeing, rafting, swimming and other recreational activities. These areas offer gorgeous well-developed campgrounds and hiking trails for the avid outdoorsman.
If you want to canoe the Russian River and see California’s famous redwoods, but you don’t have a canoe, Burke’s Russian River Canoe Trips offers affordable day and overnight rates from May through October. Plan a brief day trip down the river and stop at a picnic site in the redwoods for lunch. Or if you prefer a longer trip stopping overnight for tent camping along the riverside is also an option. A brief Courtesy shuttle service is also provided to get you to your put-in and pull-out points.
Whether you are looking for adventure, tranquility, or outdoor fun, you are bound to find something for everyone in Sonoma County. Once you determine the pace and style of vacation you are planning to take, there are several different natural attractants and events available for people of varied interests.
