Sonoma
California · United States
Deemed the "real" wine country, our aerial adventure takes you soaring above Sonoma's sprawling vineyards—far more expansive than Napa's—with the majestic Mayacamas Mountains as your backdrop. From this privileged vantage point south of the range, the iconic San Francisco skyline unfolds before you in an unobstructed panorama. Begin your unforgettable journey in Sonoma, where the heart of wine country beats, and conclude in Napa, creating a truly unparalleled experience.
