Charter Bus Rental in Sonoma, CA

Charter bus service in Sonoma

Sonoma's eight-acre Plaza is the heart of the town, ringed by tasting rooms, restaurants and historic sites including the Sonoma Mission and the Sonoma Barracks. Wine groups often start or end a day here.

The Sonoma Valley runs north through Glen Ellen and Kenwood, with wineries, Jack London State Historic Park and resort spas. Sonoma Raceway sits south of town at the junction of Highway 37 and 121.

Streets around the Plaza are busy and parking is tight, so drops use agreed curbs.

Trips are matched to operators near the pickup, priced all-in and tracked live.
