How many wineries can you visit in a day in Sonoma?
Three or four is the sweet spot: about an hour each, plus a proper lunch. Five is possible if the cellars are small and close together.
How do you get around Sonoma wine country without driving?
Private driver for the day (about US$95–150 per hour, 4-hour minimum); Small-group wine tour (about US$150–200 per person, full day); Walk the Healdsburg plaza (free). Every Grapevine itinerary lists these local options; book them directly.
