3)  Sonoma Valley Helicopter Tour (30 minutes) by Sonoma Helicopter

One of the best ways to see the wine country is from a helicopter.  You get to see some of the vineyards and wineries that are just not accessible for the average visitor.  You also get to see them from a unique vantage point.  Many wineries and vineyards are located in areas that are not suitable to vehicular traffic, some are not even visible from the roads and many are not open to the public.
