Sonoma Mountain E‑Bike Adventure and Beer Tasting Lunch
Ride through Sonoma’s sunlit meadows and mixed singletrack on a guided mountain e‑bike tour, then relax with a picnic lunch and local Sonoma County brews. Guides tailor routes to ability levels, making this a flexible half‑day outing for confident beginners and experienced riders alike.
The Experience
Before You Go
Reserve rental bikes early
If you don’t own an e‑bike, book a Specialized Levo or similar well before your trip; availability can be limited on weekends.
Hydrate and carry snacks
Bring 1–2 liters of water and a compact snack — the assisted ride extends range, but climbs still demand calories.
Bring a helmet and flat kit
A sturdy helmet is mandatory and a basic repair kit with a pump and spare tube will keep you rolling if you get a puncture.
Expect varied terrain
Prepare for quick technical sections and loose rock by choosing tires and suspension settings suited for mixed singletrack.

Conservation Note
Stick to established trails to protect fragile grassland and prevent erosion; local guides practice Leave No Trace and support small-scale brewery partners.
Many of the riding corridors follow old ranch roads and logging tracks that predate modern trails, reflecting Sonoma’s agricultural and timber past.
