You can take a horseback tour through wine country, but while llamas can sometimes accompany hikers or even cyclists on a tour, grown adults are too heavy to ride them. Instead, the llamas will haul things like food and drinks for tour participants.

Most wine train tours include a visit to the vineyard, where the vintner will talk a bit about the wine and give tips on tasting and sometimes even food pairings. Skydiving and bike rentals are fun ways to see the area, but they may not include wine education.
