about california wine hikes


Mission Statement
Our goal at California Wine Hikes is to provide our treasured guests with wine country experiences that will result in sensory satisfaction, rekindled vigor, and indelible memories.

From Russ Beebe, Founder of California Wine Hikes
Being outdoors most of my life, I’ve learned a great many things about wilderness ethics, trip planning, group dynamics, reading the land and the weather, and the kind of person I always wanted to be. Early on, I organized dozens of backpacking trips and cycling tours in Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Western Nevada, and Northern and Central California.

Russ salutes another fine day in the California wine country.

For most of this decade and last, I’ve organized hundreds of hiking tours for family, friends and coworkers, though I’ve attended and hosted a variety of wine tastings for even longer. I’m quite comfortable in the Great Outdoors and I’ve learned a few things about the natural world and wine – things that people tell me they’re glad I pointed out. Whether it’s identifying a bird or a tree, or discussing the nuances of wine tasting, I’ll tell you this much: the winehiking experience sure seems to resonate with people. And I surely do appreciate all of the nice notes people have sent to me over the years. Many of these testimonials are posted on this website for you to read at your leisure.

What's more fun than winehiking? Experiencing it with your fellow winehikers.

Throughout my journeys, I’ve discovered that people really love to combine an outdoor experience with California’s finest wines. As a result, I melded my two passions – hiking and wine-tasting – into a third passion: my tour company, California Wine Hikes.

Why? Because a wine country hiking experience is serious fun for everyone – especially when there’s a wine-tasting reward at the end of the trail!

Therefore I lead dozens of tours each year and I’m always on the lookout for new trails, wineries and venues that will ensure a relaxing and memorable group experience for all of my guests.

2010 is our fifth season hosting guided wine and hiking tours, and once again, it’s been magical! Therefore I propose that you celebrate the magic too. I’m The Winehiker, and I invite you to let me be your ambassador to wine country adventure!

Your host,

Russ Beebe
Founder, California Wine Hikes

For your assurance, I’m certified in CPR and First Aid.

It was a really nice day. You did a great job! The hills & views were fantastic and your knowledge of the flora & fauna & California in general is amazing. The lunch was absolutely delicious and the ambiance was really nice!
