Korbel Delicatessen & Market

Cycle the moderate 46.9-mile Santa Rosa Creek and West County Trail Loop through Sonoma County's diverse landscapes.

This touring cycling route, the Korbel Delicatessen & Market – Wohler Road Bridge loop, offers a challenging ride through Sonoma County's renowned wine country. You'll pedal through rolling hills covered in vineyards, enjoy picturesque views of the Russian River, and pass by the Korbel Champagne Cellars nestled among redwoods. It's a difficult 30.6-mile (49.2 km) journey with 2163 feet (659 metres) of elevation gain, typically taking about 3 hours and 15 minutes.

Be aware that the historic Wohler Road Bridge is closed until mid-October 2026 for seismic retrofit, meaning the full loop is currently unrideable as a continuous route. You'll need to plan for detours, possibly via the Hacienda Bridge. The Korbel Delicatessen & Market is a popular stop for gourmet sandwiches and coffee, perfect for a mid-ride break.

This area is famous for its wine country experience, with numerous vineyards and wineries along the route. The diverse terrain, from flat river valleys to significant climbs, makes it a favorite for experienced cyclists. The scenic beauty, often compared to Tuscany, combined with the challenge, makes this a rewarding, albeit currently complicated, ride for those seeking popular cycling routes in the Russian River Valley.
