Sip and savor Sonoma Valley, California’s first Wine Country and the birthplace of California’s wine industry. Today it’s home to more than 40 premium wineries, all a stone’s throw apart on a 17-mile span of enchanting country lanes.
Sonoma harbors award-winning wines and world-class winery destinations, whose scenic grounds provide fun for the whole family--from striking castles and garden chateaus to organic ranches and Mediterranean-style villas. There’s also California’s oldest premium winery, Buena Vista Winery’s mossy stone relic--built by an eccentric Hungarian count.
Size doesn’t always matter, and some of Sonoma’s smallest, tucked-away tasting rooms are the most unforgettable homey nooks, where you can sample cult favorites and brush elbows with the winemaker.
While visiting, ask about special activities Sonoma wineries feature--from cave tours to barrel tastings to tram rides through the vineyards. Many offer sumptuous food and wine pairings that augment the wine-tasting experience with fresh local cuisine. |
