Before You Go
Bring ID and a credit card
This tour requires guests to be 21+ and some taprooms may ask for proof of age or charge for additional food/drink.
Hydrate between tastings
Carry a reusable water bottle even though bottled water is provided — hydration prevents fatigue and helps with alcohol tolerance.

Pedal-friendly shoes improve control on flat pedals and during short sections of walking with the bike.

Conservation Note
Many local breweries source ingredients regionally and practice water and waste reduction; riders are encouraged to stay on paved roads and pack out trash to protect agricultural land.
Windsor developed in the 19th and 20th centuries as a small agricultural town; in recent decades Sonoma’s craft beer scene has grown alongside its wine industry, with Russian River Brewing becoming internationally known.
