Where to Go: the 5 Best Three-Hour Tastings Worldwide

1.Sonoma Wine Country Electric Trike Tour – 3 hours

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 331 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $175Our pick

Ride Sonoma’s countryside by electric trike, with local history, vineyard roads, wine tasting, and Vella cheese for $175.

“It’s way too expensive for what it is. You don’t get to drive much, most of the time just made multiple stops here and there to learn about the history. Our tour guide was very informative, but for this type of activity we don’t think it was worthy of what we paid for. $50 at most would’ve been reasonable.”

2.Private and customizable: Alsace Wine Route HIGHLIGHTS in 3 hours

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 63 reviews · 3 hours (approx.)

Review of a private three-hour Alsace wine route tour from Colmar, with Eguisheim, Kaysersberg, Riquewihr, local insight, and flexible stops.

“We had a FANTASTIC time with Christopher touring the Alsace region. Christopher is super friendly, punctual, very knowledgeable about the region (since he grew up there), and speaks very good English. We took the trip with our toddler and baby in the rain so having Christopher's help with the stroller and umbrellas was a lifesaver. The 3-hour tour was PERFECT for a family. Our toddler, who can be irritable when traveling, never got bored. Christopher made sure to keep the tour moving and made sure we were always having fun. The stop at the Bottom Freres winery was probably our favorite part. Christopher's tour of Alsace was the highlight of…”

5.3-Hour Private Painting tuition in a beautiful Cognac vineyard

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 2 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $120Best value

Paint among Cognac vines at Domaine de Monplaisir with private tuition, art materials, cellar access, and coffee or tea.

“Whilst it was nice to meet Jeanne and hear about her impressive family history, see her work and see the vineyard - it was however disappointing that we didn’t get to paint or sketch ourselves as was advertised would happen as part of this activity. There was no practical hands on experience and this was disappointing and therefore no personal feedback or assistance was given again as advertised in the activity promotion hence the 2 star rating. A pity as Jeanne was a lovely person.”
