Geyserville offers several distinct ways to explore: art on the southern edge of town, historical connections, and experiences involving animals and wine. For planning, the format of your visit matters as much as the theme: guided tours are available alongside wine tastings and an ATV tour that ends with a tasting. You can decide what kind of experience you want to shape your stay.
Art and Local History
The Geyserville Sculpture Trail lies on the southern edge of town and is a destination for art enthusiasts, families and visitors. It offers a clear connection to art for anyone who wants to get to know Geyserville through this particular focus.
Geyserville’s origins are also connected to geothermal springs. Located in the Mayacamas Mountains east of town, they became a tourist attraction. The springs are therefore part of the town’s history, while the Sculpture Trail offers a distinct way to explore it through art.
Another connection to local history is Geyserville Union School. It is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources. The location is given as Geyserville in Sonoma County, and the listing date is October 24, 1979. The town’s history thus brings together natural origins and the historic listing of a specific building.
Guided Experiences
Isis Oasis Sanctuary offers guided tours for adults and children to see the cats, birds and vivarium on the grounds. Since this is a guided experience, confirm the tour arrangements before you arrive.
At Dutcher Crossing Winery, you can choose between tours of the cellar and winemaking facility or vineyard tours. The two formats have different focuses: the cellar and facility on the one hand, the vineyards on the other. You can choose the experience based on your interest in winemaking or vineyards. Tour availability may change, so check what is available to visitors before your trip.
Trattore Farms’ Get Your Boots Dirty Tour is set up differently: it takes you by ATV through vineyards and an olive mill and ends with a full tasting. The ride and tasting are part of the same tour. Availability for this bookable experience may also change, so it is a good idea to confirm the arrangements in advance.
Wine, Downtown and Travel Planning
At deLorimier, a wine tasting includes five wines made from estate-grown grape varieties. This differs from a tour of the cellar, winemaking facility or vineyard: here, the focus is on tasting. Since details of the visitor experience may change, confirm the current arrangements before you arrive.
The Geyserville Visitor Center & Museum is located on Geyserville Avenue in the heart of downtown. If you plan to visit, check the opening arrangements before setting out. This also makes the distinction clear for planning purposes between the downtown location and the Sculpture Trail on the southern edge of town.
Dutcher Crossing Winery is located directly on Dry Creek Road. The road is a popular cycling route through the scenic Dry Creek Valley. If you plan to cycle, check current road and access conditions in advance.
According to local accounts, the first Geyserville May Day Festival is believed to have taken place in 1925. If you want to include a festival in your travel plans, check the specific event dates before your trip.
Plan the specific tours, tastings and visits according to their respective arrangements and conditions.
