Sonoma Valley, California Travel Guide

Complete Vacation, Recreation and Tourism Information

Sonoma Valley is often overshadowed by Napa Valley, its more famous and commercial counterpart, but this is the very birthplace of California's wine country. Some of these vineyards and wineries have been around a very long time, surviving Prohibition. Sonoma's wineries do tend to be smaller and less touristy than Napa wineries, but they are well-equipped for visitors.

But winery tours aren't the only reason to stop by Sonoma Valley. Long stretches of beaches lie up against long stretches of coastline. If you're more interested in boating or floating inland, the Russian River is gorgeous indeed. And if lounging and pampering is more your style, the spas are truly luxurious. Galleries are everywhere and live theater has a relaxed, but excellent quality that only fits the wine country atmosphere.

Sonoma Valley is less than 30 miles north of San Francisco.
