Segway of Healdsburg

It was really great fun experience! It was a gift for my boyfriend and he loved it. 2 guides who taught us how to ride were very nice. The parking lot you meet the group is quite close to downtown Healdsburg so after the Segway ride and wine tasting, my boyfriend and I had a really good lunch at the restaurant called Barndiva and had a coffee at Flying Goat Coffee in downtown which we highly recommend as well. The whole day was very fun for us. It was really hot so we recommend morning ride if you are riding it during summer.

I had a great time. Josh and Joel were terrific. Shira was really first-​rate and helped me make the most out of my outdated groupon. Next I’ll do the redwoods tour, as I’d like more ride and less wine tasting. The Segway’s are really fun… I’m 60 and it was as close as I’ll get to skateboarding or scootering again. It has some of the same ride sensation.

It is our second time to do Segway of Healdsburg. Since we had a great experience last time so we bring our friends to do it again. However, we are very disappointment. The tour we signed up said it is deluxe and would ride to several wineries and a working vineyard. However, we are very disappointment this time. We only went to 2 wineries (it should be 3 wineries, isn’t it?) and the wine tasting is a kind of rush, especially Christphor Creek winery. We haven’t fisinished our glass and the guy came to pour the second one so we got to swallow our wine which is not relaxed at all. According to this experience, we will not bring our friends to do it any more.

I cannot speak highly enough of this amazing concept and Shira, the owner!!! My boyfriend planned a secret (only from me) proposal weekend in which he would propose during our Segway tour. Shira and her staff went out of their way to accommodate our special requests. She even stopped by on her day off to ensure all the details fell into place. It was a day I’ll never forget. Thank you for everything! I would most definitely recommend this to anyone.
The Segways were really easy to learn and super fun to ride. What a cool concept! We had a great time and I’d love to tour again sometime.

My girlfriend bought two tickets for us through groupon and it was amazing! I’ve never been on a Segway before and with alcohol, it was a lot of fun. Our tour guides were very friendly and patient with us. They made sure we stayed safe when cars were around warned us when there were driveway slopes and potholes.
We went to two wineries and wine-​tasting was $ 10 at each place. I think they did wave the fee if you chose to purchase a bottle of wine though. I would recommend this tour and I would do it again!

I used a groupon for me and my boyfriend (Russian River groupon). This was our first time wine tasting and we were so excited to ride segways!!! Our guides were really friendly and helpful. We went to 2 different vineyards for wine tasting and they were both awesome. However we did have to pay for each wine tasting, as the prices were not included in the Groupon. Still, we had lots of fun. The scenery was beautiful. And the segways made the experience 100x better/​funner! We ended up buying 2 bottles of wine! We are very satisfied with our experience. Would definitely recommend and also come back! :)

had the best time with friends the learning curve was about 15 minutes we were all newbies one of our friends has a prosthetic leg an she did great.
The two guides were had Josh and Donny were the best great fun and very easy to for us all to understand directions thanks we will do it again soon

What a great way to spend a day… We had knowledgeable, patient teachers giving us individual instructions on how to ride on a Segway. It was easier than I thought. The wineries we visited were very accommodating. We met some great people and next time we have out of towners visiting, we may just do this again. What a fun way to go wine tasting! Our guides were excellent and made sure we all stayed together on the road. Having a Groupon was a real plus too. Highly recommend this!

My husband and Iwere gifted a tour for xmas through travelzoo I believe and we used it on Valentine’s Day. We went along with three other couples and had a blast! The weather was gorgeous and the two wineries we visited were fantastic. The view from Christopher Creek was great. The tour guides were funny albeit a little cheesy. I’d definitely recommend this tour and I’ll go again gladly!

Just a fun thing to do with Josh & Ben as our guides. Those 2 were very good to train you as we met the Gurneville Park & Ride Lot to do the Armstrong Redwoods tour. We had never Segwayed. I was unsure and I got more comfortable as I rode. Josh & Ben took care of us very well — training, watchful of riders and traffic, patient. Heading to the Redwoods, we did have to take some of the street which was fine as the area was mellow. As guides, they knew to pay attention to all of and chat.
We had the Groupon for the wine tour but they bumped us up to the Armstrong tour as that was the only one they were doing that day which was an even better deal. This tour they said you get to Segway more which was what we wanted to do. The tour was beautiful/​scenic with some stops to show us some great spots — circle of trees, largest tree, etc. The snack stop was nice with some fruit, popcorn & coffee cakes. They gave us a bottle of water.
If you do this tour, make sure to really wear layers as it did chill down in there. I was deceived as the Park & Ride lot was hot, but once we entered the Redwoods it chilled way down. I wished I had on my warmer jacked rather than just the hoodie.
If you are considering what to do — definitely do this one as it was soooo fun

My husband and I had a Groupon that made our Segway adventure affordable. The tour with Josh was fun, scenic and memorable. The vineyards were nice but they should offer coffee in the AM or sparkling water for sale to the non-​drinkers. Wine-​tasting seemed to relax the participants instead of making them less safe on wheels. Our morning ride was chilly but they told us to bring gloves, which was a great tip. Overall, it was a blast, the guide was cool, and we will do it again with visitors from out of town.

Josh and Remy were awesome tour guides! Instructions were great and Remy totally put me at ease and was totally patient with me. Thanks guys!!!

OMG… OMG… OMG. I can’t express in words the amount of fun we had. The entire experience was amazing. Riding the Segway was the most fun I’ve every had on two wheels, our tour guides were awesome the perfect blend of fun and professional. The winery’s… The scenery… the company. Wow. wow…wow. Definitely exceeded expectations.

Booked with Shira for three riders on the Groupon rate of $ 49/​pp for the Russian River wineries two hour tour. Had some difficulty because my mom is sort of an overly cautious worrier and doesn’t like giving people her credit card info over the phone or online, but we finally booked it. We arrived early because we were told if we got there early we could start early, but that was sorely wrong.
Our tour guide was Joel, a surfer-​looking youngster that took a ton of time with my shaky mom to acclimate to the machine, and let the seasoned two of us zip around. The other two people who were grouped with our party were late, and the wife needed extra assistance, so we didn’t leave till almost 30 after when we were supposed to. This resulted in us having to rush everything including the wine tasting, the scenic touring, and generally appreciating the event.
Vizlay winery was $ 10/​pp, and the tasting was led by the daughter of the owner, who seemed extremely perturbed that we were rushing her, but it really wasn’t our fault. The wines were on the mediocre side, and definitely didn’t go with the «complimentary snack» that our tour included, which was one brownie bite from Costco. Despite my requests not to go to Christopher Creek (two for one tastings), we did so anyway, again, rushed and short experience, not really able to savor the wines or the views because of our time limit.
Despite it all, my dad, whose birthday we were celebrating with this excursion, found it to be pleasant, but not great. We both remarked that our experiences with tours in SF on segways were better, more knowledgeable, on time, and generally just more fun. Negative three stars for the lack of time management, one star for Shira’s great communication skills helping us to get booked despite our challenges, and one star for Joel’s upbeat attention to the stragglers.

Don’t miss! Top 5 experiences in wine country.
Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, from 14 yr old son to 71 yr old grandmother, loved it. Rolling around Armstrong redwoods was a hoot. Easy to learn, safe and loads of fun. Totally novel way to cruise. The guides were warm, funny and helpful. We will return for their vineyard tour on our next trip west.

I went on a winery tour on Sunday afternoon, and we had a blast!
The segway was so much fun and easy to ride! (at least for me, but oddly my fiancé had some trouble getting used to it. :D and he drives manual!!)
The wineries were beautiful and very cozy.
Both Vizay and Christopher (sorry if I got the name wrong) had completely different feel and taste when it comes to their wines. So gave some variety there.
On the way back, we stopped next to the train track and had some wild black berries and plums! OMG they were so delicious! Def. a great experience!
Over all tour and the experience was awesome. But the reason for –1 star was that the guide was suppose to take pictures for us, since we can’t use the phone while riding the segway, so he took the pictures… but 3 pictures, and that was it.
I am so disappointed! :(
Make sure you take LOTS of picture whenever you are off the segway.

Fantastic experience. It was one of the most memorable parts of our trip. The wineries they took us to were small, boutique wineries that each had unique qualities to them (amazing views, fantastic wines, great customer experience).
The first 30 minutes or so is just getting you accustomed to using the Segway. The learning curve is almost non-​existent and you’ll be zooming around in no time. Our tour guides were fun, informative and gave us space to enjoy the wines and views.
This is well worth the money and we look forward to doing it again in the future.

Went on the winery tour on a weekday and was able to get our spot only a couple days in advance. It was a great experience. The wines we tasted were delicious and the Segways were really fun.
Our hosts were great and showed the basics of riding efficiently. Fun to talk to and informed about each winery.
We visited Christopher Creek and Vizlay on our tour and loved the views and story of each winery. They’re both boutique wineries and the owners/​owners’ family were there to pour for us. Had a great time and intend to be back this month or next.
Just a few things bothered us a little.
There seemed to be a few undisclosed fees. We bought on Groupon and when we went to schedule the tour there was about a $ 5 tax per person as well as a $ 7 tasting fee at each winery/​per person.
Also the address on the website is misleading. The main address apparently isn’t linked to their business at all (It’s the Chamber of Commerce building in Healdsburg) and the meet up address led us to a different place on the GPS. It’s better to just put in «Central Valley Builder’s Supply» since they meet in their parking lot.

Called a few days ago about a tour today for Mother’s Day, and Shira got me in with zero problem! We had Josh and Ben for our tour guides, they were on time, super patient, and both had great demeanors. They were super attentive throughout our tour.
The wineries were fine, weather was beautiful, and we had a great time. You do travel down some busy roads, but with 2 experienced guides we were totally comfortable. Definitely worth doing!

WE HAD A BLAST! We had a groupon for 5 of us all together & all were first timers on a Segway. We met up in the parking lot and were provided with very good one on one introduction lessons. There is definitly a little learning curve to getting comforatable if you have not done this before, but after about 15 minutes we were all ready to depart to the wineries. Onward!
Depending on yor priorities, (mine was riding the Segway more than tasting the wines) I would have preferred more Segway time and less winery. The wineries were both within waliking distance of eachother and both only about 1 mile or so from the parking lot where we met the tour.
This was a great intro to learning how to ride them, and I especially liked the instruction which came from the female leader (forgot her name) she was personable, connected and I appreciated that she didnt act like she was in auto pilot and had already said the exact same thing 1000 times before to every new student.
The first stop was Vizlay Winery where they charge $ 10 each for tasting 5 wines. I would have skipped this tasting had I known a $ 10 tasting charge. For that price I would have enjoyed a cracker or a breadstick (or something) Our next and last stop was Christopher Creek Winery where they had only a $ 5 charge and I liked their wines better especially the Port! On a beautiful day It relaxing asto sit pool side with a view of the vineyard hills. The tour goes quickly and not alot of time for leisurely lingering at the wineries, but I didnt feel it was too rushed since every thing was close by. All in all, thumbs up for a great experience.
