Sonoma County

1129
People talk about a certain mystique surrounding the “Wine Country Lifestyle.” But folks in Sonoma County don’t take any of that mystique stuff too seriously. The straightforward facts are these: The region has incredible wine, amazing food and it’s one of the most beautiful places on earth. There are mountains and the ocean, the redwoods and the river, the valleys and the vineyards; the many small towns, each with their unique personality. With all that going for it, Sonoma County doesn’t want any layers of mystique and aura to cover up the good stuff. When you really have it, there’s no need to be pretentious.

So, no wonder Sonoma County has the reputation of being the laid-back, fun-loving, free-spirit of the wine world. The other Wine Country destinations can keep the glitz and glamour. Sonoma will take the joy and laughter. So, loosen that tie…oh heck, just throw the tie away. And toss those achy shoes. Say farewell to that rehearsed, restrained chuckle. Let loose, run free, laugh out loud. This is Sonoma County. more

Sonoma California

1130

The town of Sonoma is brimming with history, charm, character…and characters. Just beneath its sophisticated demeanor, there’s a decidedly free-spirited, eccentric bend to this community. Mingle with the locals at their wonderful Town Plaza—the largest in California. more

Sonoma Valley

1131

Nicknamed “Valley of the Moon” by Jack London, this is one of the loveliest, most romantic spots anywhere. With mountain ranges on either side, Hwy. 12, (which is only 2 lanes wide) stretches down the valley corridor. It’s shaded by oaks, lined by vineyards and dotted with wineries. This is the quintessential Wine Country drive. more

Healdsburg and Northern Sonoma County

1132

Chic yet comfortable, Healdsburg is known for fine dining, stylish boutiques, luxury spas, art galleries and wine tasting rooms. It is located where three wine appellations meet, and has grown into the main Wine Country town of the north while the Town of Sonoma is the main town in the south. more

Santa Rosa CA

1137

Santa Rosa CA, is the largest city in Wine Country, but most of the residents still think of it as a small town. So, you might get stuck in traffic, but at least the locals will wave you in, with a smile, to merge in front of them. more

  • Sonoma Coast

    1133

    The Sonoma Coast is intense and dramatic, this is a coastline to inspire awe. (It’s not a bikinis and margaritas type beach.) Highway 1 winds its way along many miles of coast, offering incredible views. There are also miles of hiking trails, some rugged beaches, cute shops, restaurants, whale watching and a sea lion gathering spot at Goat Rock Beach.

  • Guerneville - Russian River Area

    1134

    Guerneville is an endearing place in which hippies and yuppies, rednecks and gays, live together in peace and harmony. Located next to the Russian River and the redwoods, it’s also a favorite spot for nature lovers. The Russian River is also a wine appellation or region. But locals not in the wine industry tend to call the stretch on River Road starting at Fulton Rd the Russian River Area.

  • Sebastopol CA

    1135

    Full of bohemians, intellectuals, artists and activists, this is where Birkenstocks and bongos meet. Plus, you’ve never seen as many flowers in your life as you will just driving down these roads.

  • Petaluma and Southern Sonoma County

    1136

    If you go on one street in Petaluma, you’ll think it’s full of artsy mavericks. Cross the street, and you’ll believe it’s full of old-fashioned farmers. Turn the corner, and you’ll be sure it’s inhabited by refined socialites. And if you head west through the Two Rocks region, you won’t know what to think.
