The experience

The tour begins with a one-on-one training session on a Segway in an open space, so you get comfortable with the machine before the guide takes you out. Once you're steady, you ride along quiet country roads and paths that connect to the oldest wineries in California. The route is built around where you actually want to go, not a loop that happens to pass them.

You'll stop at the oldest winery in California for lunch, and there's a cheese stop along the way if you want to pick some up. The guide is with you the whole time, and the tour carries water to keep you hydrated. A helmet and the Segway itself are included, and there's storage built in for a medium-size purse or a few bottles of wine you pick up.

Public transportation options are available nearby if you need them to get to the starting point. The tour suits all fitness levels, though it's not recommended for anyone with spinal injuries. You need to be at least 21 to join.
