Overview
Today you'll ride through the Russian River Valley, known for its tantalizing Pinot Noir on your way to Armstrong Woods Park. While avid riders can choose to push their legs by tackling the toughest climb of the trip to Sweetwater Springs, with grades reaching 20%, there is also a gentler ride to Armstrong Woods Park via Westside Road. Once you’ve arrived, stop and admire the majestic towering redwoods and enjoy a walk to visit the oldest (1,400 years old), or the tallest (310 feet high) trees in the park. Lunch is on your own today in the town of Guerneville, or stop off at Korbel's on-site gourmet deli. You may even decide to cleanse the palate with a little bubbly! Then, enjoy the rest of the afternoon back at the hotel, or venture into Healdsburg for some shopping and a tasting at one of the many winery rooms on the square. This afternoon you'll have the opportunity to visit your favorite wineries in the Dry Creek Valley starting from 3:00p.m. (advanced reservations for tastings and transport are recommended). Tonight we will celebrate with a farm-to-table feast at a local favorite restaurant, Valette. It is here that the farm culture of Sonoma comes to life and is embodied in their cuisine.
