A picturesque slice of California Wine Country, Sonoma offers over 40 wineries, spectacular outdoor activities, numerous towns to explore, and a laid-back rural charm that distinguishes it from the trendier and more crowded Napa Valley.
Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or a novice, the wine (and scenery) in Sonoma, less touristy than neighboring Napa Valley, will excite your senses.
