Just 45 miles north of San Francisco, Sonoma Valley is California’s oldest Wine Country and a historic resort destination. For over a hundred years, we’ve played host to ladies who lunch, cowgirls on horseback, women wine-lovers and sophisticated spa-goers.

Now it’s your turn! From luxury pampering to noshing on great wine and food, Sonoma Valley is the perfect place for a girlfriends getaway. So come hike, bike, sip and swirl—just leave the man out of your plan.





From the mouth of a kick-off weekend participant:

"Sonoma Valley’s definition of girly is something entirely refreshing. Do you like sunshine and budding vineyards? Do you like cocktails and yummy things to eat? Do you like to lounge in the lap of luxury? Or when you’re not lounging, do you like go on hikes, ride bikes, or shop, or eat more yummy things? And do lots of wine tasting?

Basically, Sonoma Valley asks you a lot of things that are impossible to say no to. So you say yes. And you bring a friend or two. And it’s called a Girlfriends Getaway . . .

I was fortunate enough to take part in the recent March kickoff weekend, and it was a luxurious two-day affair involving daffodils and massages, great conversation, a French man crooning throaty tunes whilst grinding a romantic barrel organ, celestial wines, fragrant meanderings through terraced gardens, heavy consumption of raspberry cosmos and French fries with truffle oil, polka-dot peanut butter and banana chocolate truffles named after Elvis and preserved lemon mashed potatoes whipped up by a Cordon Bleu trained chef. I came to the conclusion that angels in heaven subsist on a diet of preserved lemon mashed potatoes. And that Girlfriends Getaways rock!
