The longest continuously owned bike tour company in Sonoma County wine country.
Daily
Visit WebsiteThe two-to-seven-day multi-modal Wine Country Adventure — bike Sonoma Valley one day, kayak the Russian River the next, hike Armstrong Redwoods the third, with overnight stays at partner wineries and Russian River inns and picnics curated by the longest-running owner-operator wine country guide in the county.
Getaway Adventures, also doing business as Wine Country Bike Tours, is the longest continuously owner-operated bike tour company in Sonoma County wine country — founded in 1991 by Randy Johnson, who has personally guided wine country bike routes for over thirty years and built relationships with the small-production wineries that don't typically appear on group tour itineraries. The Healdsburg headquarters at 359 Hudson Street is the launch point for half-day and multi-day bike tours, plus a parallel kayak operation on the Russian River and the Jenner coastline.
The signature formats are Sip 'n Cycle (the easy-pace tour for beginning cyclists, with optional e-bike upgrade), Velo 'n Vino (the advanced cycling tour for experienced riders, longer routes through Dry Creek Valley and Russian River backroads), and the multi-day combinations of two to seven days that pair bike, kayak, and hike days with overnight stays at partner wineries and inns. Wine country picnic lunches are included on most tours — prepared by the Healdsburg kitchen Randy has built relationships with for decades. The thirty-plus year operating history is the trust signal: Randy has trained the guides who lead the tours, knows the winery owners personally, and brings a depth of local knowledge no rotating tour company can match. Free e-bike upgrades on Healdsburg tours.
Founder & Owner
Randy Johnson is the founder and owner of Getaway Adventures, which began by accident: a ski injury sent him cycling around Wine Country to rehab a blown knee, and a bike-and-wine outing with his uncle turned into a business. Based in Healdsburg since the early 1990s, he runs its bike, hike, and kayak tours and folded in Wine Country Bikes in 2020.
