Explore Sonoma County at your own pace with the Sonoma County Wine Tour: Self-Guided GPS Audio Driving Guide. This flexible experience allows you to drive through the region using a GPS audio guide that plays automatically as you go, giving you a personalized winery tour without the need for a group or guide.
Start your adventure from locations like Sonoma Plaza, Healdsburg, Santa Rosa, or Sebastopol. With access to 76 winery cellar doors across the county, the app creates a custom route based on your preferences. As you pass historic sites, you'll hear engaging stories about the area's rich wine history—like how Count Agoston Haraszthy founded Buena Vista in 1857 and brought over 100,000 grape cuttings from Europe.
Enjoy the freedom to pause for a long lunch, replay stories, or explore at your own pace. The guide works offline, so you won't miss out even if your signal drops. Just bring a car, have a designated driver, and book your tastings directly with the wineries. This private, self-guided tour offers a unique way to discover Sonoma's wine heritage on your schedule.
