The Wine Road offered Magical Mystery Tours in 2016 as part of their 40th anniversary celebration. Demand for the tours was so great and the feedback excellent, so the Magical Mystery Tours have returned, and with a few changes.

Three Mystery Tours, Three Magical Valleys, Three Different Days

Last year all the tours were on the same day, so you could only go one tour. This year, the tours are held one at a time and if you want, you can sign up for all three.

May 6th — Russian River Valley

Explore the appellation renowned for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and more as you travel through the neighborhoods of Russian River Valley.

June 17th — Alexander Valley

Cabernet Sauvignon is king here, but Alexander Valley also produces a range of critically acclaimed wines. Here is your chance to dig deeper into in the treasures of this region.

July 15th — Dry Creek Valley

Zinfandel and Dry Creek Valley are almost synonymous, yet this Valley is becoming a destination for Rhone varietals and blends, Sauvignon Blanc and more.

Why the Mystery?

Sometimes it’s just more fun to sit back, relax, and come along for the ride. You can pick which tour you’d like to go on, and you’ll get plenty of information so you’ll know what to expect, BUT you won’t know where you are going. Why? Because, it is all part of letting yourself have a new experience, without preconceived notions about where you should go or what it will be like when you get there. Sort of like San Francisco in the 60s.

Views along the Wine Road

This day of wine and food along the Wine Road is a perfect getaway. You can just kick back and enjoy a tour—the scenery, the wine, the food, and the experience. Come for the weekend and stay at one of the many Wine Road member lodgings either in Healdsburg or scattered along the Wine Road.

The ticket price is $125 plus fees, bringing the total to $135.63 per person. If you pencil out hiring a tour company for the day, purchasing picnic food or stopping for lunch, and paying tasting fees, you’ll see this is a great deal. Plus, you don’t have to do any of the planning, just show up.

Happy Sipping!
