About this tour
Explore Sonoma County on your own terms with a GPS audio guide that brings wine country’s roads and stories to life. This self-guided Sonoma County driving tour plays narration automatically as you travel, with no group, fixed schedule, or live guide.
Choose a starting point such as Sonoma Plaza, Healdsburg, Santa Rosa, or Sebastopol, then use the trip planner to select cellar doors and shape a route across four corridors. The app includes mapped winery stops with ratings and booking information, plus 96 narrated stories about local people and places. Hear the tale of Buena Vista’s founder, Count Agoston Haraszthy, and the grape cuttings that helped seed the region’s wine industry. Pause for a long lunch, replay a story, or change your plans as you go. Download the audio and maps over Wi-Fi before setting out so the tour remains available where cell coverage is patchy.
You’ll need a car and a designated driver; tastings are arranged and paid for directly with wineries. One purchase covers everyone in the vehicle and unlocks Sonoma County for future trips, with no expiry or subscription. Download the app, plan your stops, and discover Sonoma County at your own pace.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
