Weed, Wine, Woods and Waves Tour
Weed, Wine, Woods and Waves! Wow! What could be more fun! First we visit a Dispensary, then a scenic ride through the world-famous Russian River Valley as we head west towards Gary Farrell Winery, the Korbel Deli for lunch, Armstrong Woods for a “forest bath” and then finish off with a drive down Highway One on the Sonoma Coast!
The Drive
Originating in either the City of Sonoma or at your location, this full-day sightseeing tour travels 100 miles on beautiful Sonoma County backroads as we wind our way through the Sonoma Valley to the City of Santa Rosa and then westward out to the Pinot Noir capital of the world, the Russian River Valley.
The Weed
Our first stop is the best Dispensary in Santa Rosa (in our opinion) because it's owned and operated by folks whose family has been in the cannabis business in Sonoma County for 100 years - that's some Roots, amigos!
The Wine
We’ll be stopping at Gary Farrell Winery to enjoy the most amazing view available in the Russian River Valley – enjoy award winning wines while looking out over huge Redwood Trees and the premier pinot noir growing region.
Korbel Deli for Lunch
As we continue heading west we will stop for our lunch at the Korbel Cellars where you can enjoy fabulous food and sparkling wine before we continue our journey.
The Woods
Armstrong Woods State Park in Guerneville is home to some of the largest and tallest Redwoods in California. Spend about an hour ‘forest bathing’ as you stroll through the Park on easy to navigate trails.
The Waves
When we burst out of the Redwoods and into the sunshine and California Coast be prepared for the significant temperature change as the view shifts from woods to Waves.
We will stop at Goat Rock State Beach at the north end of the Sonoma Coast on Highway One so you can dip your toes in the (very cold) Pacific and then we’ll head south down the Highway until we reach Bodega Head where you’ll have commanding views of the might Pacific Ocean and the spectacular Sonoma Coast!
A Full Day Tour
This is approximately a 6 to 7 hour day trip depending on the origination point; we provide water and you’re welcome to bring snacks and beverages to consume on board.

Common Terpenes between Cannabis and Wine
What are the common terpenes between cannabis and wine? It's an interesting question which has wonderful implications when you think about pairing Cannabis and Wine!
There are Three!
Geraniol: This terpene gives some white wines their rose-y aroma. Geraniol is found in bound grapes that have passed through the fermentation process. Some white wine varietals will contain higher levels of this terpene due to factors such as their region, or terroir, and human-controlled factors like the fermentation process.
Cannabis – Floral, Fruity, Rosy, Sweet and Waxy are the common ways Geraniol expresses in Cannabis. Some of the benefits of this include anti-cancer, antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant. Some of the strains available in 2022 which contain geraniol include: Headband, Island Sweet Skunk, Afghani, Lavender and Amnesia Haze. Further, varieties that have high levels of the terpene linalool (see below) tend to be high in geraniol as well
Linalool: If you catch a whiff of lavender upon opening a bottle of white wine, odds are there is linalool present in the grape. You may notice this in Chenin Blanc, for instance, as well as varietals of Muscat grapes, which typically have a high content of both geraniol and linalool.
Cannabis – Floral, Citrus and Spice are the most common expressions of Linalool in Cannabis. Benefits include anti-cancer, anti-depressant, anti-inflammatory, anti-epileptic, pain relief, sedative, sleep aid and stress relief. 2022 strains which manifest linalool include Dark Matter, OG Shark, LA Confidential, Scooby Snacks, Lavender, Mazar Sharif, Do-Si-Dos, Amnesia Haze and Zkittlez.
A-terpineol: also known as Nerol, you’ll find a-terpineol most commonly in varietals of Torrontes, Muscadet, Pinot Grigio, and Semillon.
Cannabis – Pine and Clove are the Terpineol expressions in Cannabis. The benefits are mostly anti-inflammatory and antifungal. Strains which contain Terpineol include Jack Herer.
- Girl Scout Cookies.
- Blue Dream.
- White Widow.
- OG Kush.
- Skywalker OG.
- Fire OG.
- Jack Flash
What else is going on with wine?
Wine has a more complex aroma than taste and there are several different compounds that contribute to its scent.
Some of the volatile compounds which add to the wine include: Esters, Oak Lactones, Thiols and the aforementioned Terpenes.

Cannabis Tourism Etiquette
With over 800 dispensaries, California offers a vast variety of cannabis options to explore. Here's a Cannabis Tourism Etiquette primer so when you visit you can find the strains, extraction technology or new age infusion you're interested in without worry.
When you’re planning your visit, it’s always a good idea to not only understand a little bit about planning a cannabis vacation, but also how to get the most out of your time here—and that starts with some cannabis etiquette. Below are ten tips for your next cannabis experience in California, whether it’s a dispensary, lounge, infused dining, beauty treatments, 420-friendly lodging or travel accommodations. When you show up like a pro, you’re sure to be treated like one!
CANNABIS TOURISM ETIQUETTE WHEN TOURING DISPENSARIES OR OTHER LOCATIONS
RULE #1: GIVE YOURSELF THE GIFT OF A DESIGNATED DRIVER
Driving under the influence is a bad idea no matter where you are. So do yourself a favor and take advantage of all of the transportation options in Sonoma Valley! It’s a sure way to get where you want to go without any worries. Whether you ride with Happy Travelers Tours, book a limousine or town car through Old Vine Wine Tours, or hire a designated driver to drive your own car, you won’t miss a beat. Depending on the transportation company, some allow vaping in transit!
RULE #2: FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCE, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
While dispensaries don’t require appointments for shopping, if you’re interested in learning more about cannabis at a location that cultivates on-site (vertically-integrated), then you’ll need to schedule a custom or private tour ahead of time at the appropriate dispensary. Some offer ‘backroom’ access experiences where guests learn the ins and outs of growing cannabis (typically indoors) and the technology required to do so. Booking appointments is a great way to ensure that, no matter how busy a dispensary may be, that they have time devoted entirely to you and what you are looking to learn.
Budtenders love to talk about cannabis. Most of them have a lot of knowledge to share about the particular brands or formats (vape, flower, edible) available in their store. If you’re at a vertically integrated dispensary, then you have the opportunity to ask specifically about their strains and products, which is akin to being in a Winery Tasting Room and learning about the Estate varietals.
Meeting the grower/operator and learning directly from them about their cannabis strains is an exciting opportunity and should not be missed, just like an opportunity to talk with a wine maker.
RULE #3: MUNCH OUT BEFORE YOU GET THE MUNCHIES
Remember, cannabis consumption typically stimulates your appetite and so it’s recommended to eat something before you start your sampling. Just like you shouldn’t go to the grocery store on an empty stomach, you shouldn’t purchase edibles on an empty stomach. Impulse buys often lead to uncharted highs.
On the other hand, one of the benefits of consuming cannabis is the taste and texture of food and beverages is enhanced, making the dining experience more pleasurable! We recommend bringing snacks so you don’t overindulge on infused treats.
RULE #4: REFRAIN FROM WEARING STRONG SCENTS OR EATING STRONG FLAVORS BEFORE YOUR TASTING
This is not the most important of all our tips, but if you’re interested in experiencing the different scents and flavor profiles of terpenes or flowers, avoiding wearing strong scents or eating strong flavors is a good idea.
RULE #5: DISPENSARIES ARE DIFFERENT FROM SMOKING LOUNGES
Dispensaries are extremely different from smoking lounges. Most dispensaries are just retailers (satellite locations), although some are vertically integrated “indoor grows” which sell their products at the same site where they grow, and a FEW are connected to smoking lounges.
For the most part, making a purchase at a dispensary is like shopping at any specialty store. The staff will be knowledgeable about their products, and you’ll be able to make your purchase comfortably. However, once you’re done with your purchase, etiquette dictates you leave the store and the general vicinity before you consume your purchases.
It is NOT okay to smoke outside the store – especially if you’re in your car!
RULE #6: CHILL OUT
The beauty of Sonoma Valley is that the area has a quieter and slower pace of life—that’s what locals love about living here, and that’s the pace most visitors love to embrace on their vacations here. However, in the summer months, when the tourism season is in full-swing locations are busier, it’s possible that you may feel a little impatient. Dispensary staff work hard to ensure you have an authentic experience. Please be patient, refrain from unnecessary urgency to make sure you’re comfortable and happy with your education or purchases. Once you embrace the pace of life here, you may never want to leave!
There is no issue with looking up menus ahead of time and knowing what you want though! Many dispensaries show product lines on their websites.
RULE #7: START LOW, GO SLOW
Consuming cannabis is an enjoyable experience, however, remember to pace yourself as you consume. One of the ‘beauty’ parts of smoking or vaping cannabis is you can measure your ‘high’ after each inhale. This enables you to enjoy your consumption without getting out of control.
As fun as it is to smoke a joint, when testing your tolerance or a strains flavor and taste, we recommend using a glass pipe or vape and to take a puff and then wait about 10 or 15 minutes. This method of controlling your dosing means you’ll maximize your pleasure while minimizing how much you ‘burn’, and, frankly, this is the most economical way to consume cannabis. Save the joints for groups and social settings!
RULE #8: COMBATTING COTTONMOUTH
The plant’s most notorious side effect is thirst. This phenomenon is often referred to as “dry mouth” or, more culturally, “cottonmouth.”
Drink water. Cannabis makes you thirsty! It’s just part of the process, so, have some water on hand to quench your thirst! Sugar-free gum also helps to stimulate your saliva glands through the act of chewing to fight off the dry-mouth.
RULE #9: PLEASE ASK BEFORE STROLLING THE GROUNDS
If you’re lucky enough to be on a Cannabis Farm Tour please remember there will be rules about strolling the grounds and touching the plants. Always wait until the grower/operator invites you into the grow and respectfully listen to their instructions regarding how to walk in and through their garden. The guide will let you know which plants are available for you to get up-close-and-personal with cannabis.
REMEMBER: DON’T PICK THE FLOWERS.
RULE #10: THANKS FOR THE TIP!
Dispensaries and other cannabis focused experiences are places of business and some have rules regarding tipping staff. If you’ve had an exceptional experience with your budtender or host, ask them if tipping is allowed in their business.
CANNABIS TOURISM ETIQUETTE WHEN SMOKING CANNABIS IN A GROUP
RULE 1: DON’T BOGART THAT JOINT, MY FRIEND
Yup. It’s true. Sometimes when you’re in a smoking session you might ‘drift off’ conversationally while holding onto the vape, pipe or joint. Don’t be a roadblock! Take your hit and keep it moving through the circle!
Of course, in these days of COVID, most people are smoking their own stash in the circle. However, when the pandemic is over, remember: don’t bogart that joint!
RULE 2: BRING SOMETHING TO SHARE
Regardless of the pandemic, if you’re going to a ‘sesh’, bring something to share with the group! It’s similar to the expectation that you shouldn’t show up to a party empty-handed.
RULE 3: PASS THE DOUCHY ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE
Did you know the circle goes to the left? Yup. There’s an old-school etiquette for passing the pipe, joint or vape to the left-hand side … just sayin’!
RULE 4: ROLLER’S RIGHTS
Whoever rolls it, sparks it. In other terms, if you rolled the joint, you get the first puffs. This also applies to whoever packs the pipe or vape.
RULE 5: KEEP YOUR COUGHING TO YOURSELF
OK, so, you’ve just had a hit and you’re about to bust a lung. Turn away from the circle (or get up and leave) before you cough all over the stash, group, and yourself. This rule applies even without a pandemic.
RULE 6: ASH BEFORE YOU PASS
Don’t pass your buddy the joint without ashing it. It is a customary act to ash the joint when passing it amongst a group of friends. It’ll save you from the mess and stress of cleanup and clothing stains.
RULE 7: KEEP IT GREEN
In the same vein as ash before you pass, keep it green just means you don’t “blow torch” a pipe load and then pass on a smoldering mess. Etiquette says you just ignite the edge of the bowl (called: edging or cornering) and then, pass the pipe with a slight glow so the next person can either ignite more green or continue to heat your hit.
And, of course, if the pipe ends up with you and it’s toasted, then, load up more green and start it up again!
RULE 8: HAVE FUN!
The whole point of sharing cannabis is to have fun, so, make sure you do!

Wine, Weed, & Weddings
Like most 20-something year old stoners, it’s the decade of weddings. High School and College sweethearts are preparing to tie the knot and my snapchat is flooded with boozy bachelorette bashes and bridal brunches.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about my own future wedding and whether I can opt-out of an open bar for a ‘Bud Buffet’. Coming from a less cannabis-friendly family, it's a hard switch to make.
But what if I could have both?
One of the most inclusive trip ideas I’ve come across was Happy Travelers Tours, located in Sonoma Valley.
4 Ways Happy Travelers Tours will elevate your Big Day:
1. The Sonoma Scenery
Sonoma County, California, is famous for so many things that it's hard to keep them all straight. The area is most famous for its vineyards, dozens of thriving farmers' markets, mountains, forests, rivers, valleys, meadows, and 55 miles of gorgeous Pacific Ocean coastline. Sonoma is the ideal destination for hiking, scenic photos, and outdoor beauty. Happy Travelers Tours offers a Sunset Tour where guests are taken to Bodega Head where they can enjoy panoramic views of the Sonoma Coast and the Pacific Ocean as the sun sets slowly into the West. The tour also includes a catered meal and tasting centered around wine and cannabis terpenes.
2. West Coast Wine
Just an hour’s drive from San Francisco is Sonoma Wine Country, famous for its vineyards, over 500 wineries, and amazing award-winning wines.
Make your Sonoma vacation even more memorable by booking a one-of-a-kind wine tasting experience like Happy Travelers Tours’ - Wine and Weed Tour. Their tours are fully customizable with activities like the “Sip-and-Sniff” experience where guests taste wine and compare cannabis flowers, looking for the similarities in aroma and complexity. From flawless Pinot Noir and exciting Zinfandels all the way to supple, well-structured Cabernet Sauvignons, the area has wine for every palate.
3. California Cannabis
Looking for a Marijuana themed Matrimony? A Bachelorette Bash with hash?
Look no farther! Happy Travelers Tours provides an experience like no other tour group in Sonoma Valley. Their Miss to MRS. Mountain Top Grow - Wine & Weed Tour is unlike any bridal event I’ve seen yet! Enjoy a fun-filled afternoon of Cannabis, Cabernet, and celebration. Your dope bride will fall in love all over again with the incredible aromas as your group wines’ down and take a private tour of the cultivation fields where your party can get up-close-and-personal with Cannabis plants, combined with breathtaking views. The tour guides have found a great way to intersect hands-on learning with education through their “Trimming Experience” where guests learn to manicure a bud, process it for rolling, and then try to roll a “joint.”
Whether you’re a seasoned roller or a beginner, it was a fun competition for everyone in the group to test their skills.
4. Personalized Packages
The best part about Happy Travelers Tours? Their experiences are fully customizable. When planning a party or event, you have the choice of various add-ons like cake, Champagne, and several CBD-infused options like salads with CBD-infused dressing and Focaccia Bread with CBD-infused balsamic vinegar and/or oil.
They can schedule tours for all group sizes ranging from large parties to small intimate gatherings and can also put on events privately at your 420-friendly accommodations/AirBnb.
