Alexander Valley
TOP VARIETALS: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Zinfandel Almost as warm as Knights Valley, Alexander Valley produces some of the county’s richest Cabernet Sauvignon, along with flavorful, ripe Chardonnay. The valley also produces complex and concentrated Zinfandel, Merlot, and Syrah.
bennett Valley
TOP VARIETALS: Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir Merlot shines in Bennett Valley like nowhere else, with volcaniclaced soils and a moderately cool climate that results in extended hang time ideal for the varietal. The long growing season helps maximize flavors and increase concentration, while the cooler temperatures preserve the grape’s natural acidity.
carneros
dry creek valley TOP VARIETALS: Zinfandel, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc Morning fog from the Pacific Ocean tempers warm days. The stone-strewn soils are ideal for concentrating fruit and flavor characteristic of Zinfandel, the hallmark of Dry Creek Valley, along with Cabernet Sauvignon, and the resulting wines are rock-solid examples of their types.
Fort Ross – Seaview
TOP VARIETALS: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
Fort Ross – Seaview lies above the beaches of the Pacific Ocean, and is above the fog line that shrouds the surrounding Sonoma Coast AVA.
fountaingrove district
TOP VARIETALS: Cabernet Sauvignon,
One of the coolest regions in Sonoma County partly because of the San Pablo Bay’s moderating influence, this region is prime Pinot Noir and Chardonnay country, producing crisp sparkling wines and racy table wines. Carneros has also produced wonderful cool-climate expressions of Merlot and Syrah.
Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah Located in eastern Sonoma County, this region is comprised of hillside acres owned by small growers. A combination of volcanic soils and a cooler climate from maritime influences results in Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah wines with lower alcohol and more subtle flavors. The region also grows Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Zinfandel.
chalk hill
Green Valley
Sauvignon On the north and east side of Windsor, extending along a short stretch of the Russian River, the Chalk Hill district takes its name from the white volcanic ash hillsides that offer excellent drainage and sunny exposures.
Located within Russian River Valley but slightly cooler and with sandy soils, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay thrive in Green Valley for both still and sparkling wines. Distinctive cool-climate Syrah also shines.

knights valley
TOP VARIETALS: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot Protected from direct Pacific Ocean influence, Knights Valley is the warmest of the county’s appellations. Bordeaux varietals — Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Malbec for the reds; Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon for the whites — thrive here, producing complex and enjoyable Meritage blends.
moon mountain TOP VARIETALS: Cabernet Sauvignon
Towering above the eastside of Sonoma Valley in the Mayacamas range is Moon Mountain AVA. The designation helps explain the differences between valleyand mountain-grown grapes, as well as how farming high elevations can be challenging, yet rewarding. Some of the oldest Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir vines in the state are grown in this region.
Northern sonoma TOP VARIETALS: Cabernet Sauvignon
This AVA region combines six AVAs: Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley, Knights Valley, Chalk Hill, Russian River Valley, and Green Valley.
petaluma gap
TOP VARIETALS: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah Sonoma County’s newest AVA, Petaluma Gap, is the very definition of “micro-climate.” 4,000 acres produce wines unlike those coming from warmer-climate neighbors. The Rhone-reminiscent varietals thrive in the famously foggy mornings and wind-whipped afternoons, resulting in rich, intense wines.
pine mountain – cloverdale peak TOP VARIETALS: Cabernet Sauvignon
This region is on the western edge of the Mayacamas, overlooking Cloverdale. The high elevation and red rock soils yield small berries and intense flavors for Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux varietals.
rockpile
TOP VARIETALS: Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel Rockpile, spreading west of Lake Sonoma to the Mendocino County border, is known for intensely-flavored red grape varietals with great concentration and balance.

This area’s confluence of well-drained soils, maritime and river influences providing cooling fog, and warm summer afternoons are ideal for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The moderate temperatures ensure that fruit maturity is achieved without loss of depth and suppleness, resulting in wines that are uniquely ripe and elegant.
TOP VARIETALS: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir Rising above Sonoma Valley and the Santa Rosa Plain, and set apart by being well above the morning fog line, this region is known for powerful yet elegant Cabernet Sauvignon. Due to the wide variety of slopes and exposures, several other varieties also thrive in the rocky mountain soil.

This region is close to the Pacific, with more than twice the annual rainfall of its inland neighbors, but it can still be warm enough to ripen wine grapes to their fullest flavor potential. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay shine, along with cool-climate Syrah. (Includes overlap with other AVAs)

All this personality, and a
SUSTAINABLE
wine region, too? This means being socially responsible
with employees, neighbors, and community, keeping farming and winery practices environmentally conscious, and being economically viable as a business. Sonoma County pulls all of this off with ease. Respectful care for the land is second nature here; in fact, the countywide commitment to becoming the nation’s first 100 percent sustainable wine region should be the easiest transition Sonoma County has seen since grapes decided to become wine.

Charges: Many wineries charge for tastings and tours, then waive the fees with a purchase. Each one is different; when in doubt, ask.
Are you a group of six or more? Check to see if reservations are required. It’s also common courtesy to give the staff a heads’ up to expect you, and will ensure you have the best service possible for your group.
Confused by the choices? Leave the decisions to a local expert by booking a wine tour. Experienced guides will help you develop a tour that suits your style. Wine tasting fees may still apply when booking a tour; check the company’s policy. Be safe! Designate or hire a driver, or plan your tasting experiences around a town plaza or an area that has wineries within walking distance of each other. See “Tasting Tips” on page 17.

With a rich history in Sonoma County, our
BEER, CIDERS, AND SPIRITSoffer stimulating experiences. Crisp fruit scents fizz up from ciders, while heady beers, from golden to black, give friends an excuse to relax together. Smooth, silky spirits beg to be sipped and savored, warming souls and hearts alike. Aaaaah ‌
Lucky you! With classics that have followers lining up and down the street, or recent newcomers quickly making a name for themselves, there is no shortage of exceptional sipping to be had. At the Barlow in Sebastopol you’ll find two local favorites among all of the other fun stuff to see: Golden State Cider for some refreshing cold ones, and Spirit Works, where you can do both a tour and a tasting at this (mostly) female-run distillery making some of the smoothest spirits around.

Let your cares ease away along the meandering
RUSSIAN RIVER.“The River” is a popular place to play with friends in summer, experience the salmon run in the fall and winter, and to watch the magic of spring unfold. Its cool embrace helps visitors relax and unwind, through splashing or sunning, slow canoeing, or sweet canoodling. From north of Cloverdale, the river winds its way through the Alexander, Dry Creek, and Russian River valleys, then travels westward until it empties into the Pacific Ocean at Jenner.

Sonoma County draws a beautifully diverse
COLLECTION OF ARTISTS,entertainers, and connoisseurs alike. Always conscious of surrounding beauty, be it traditional or unlikely, artists here often turn to their natural environment for inspiration. Sometimes this becomes “junk art,� like that of artist Patrick Amiot (right) or large, carefully fitted works of locally sourced stone by Penngrove stonemason and sculptor Edwin Hamilton. Other forms are showcased through passionate, thoughtful theater, emotionally stirring multi-generational dance, hilarious side-splitting comedy, and best-selling authors sharing the written word. Treat your soul by catching the unfolding of these artistic expressions through live performances, workshops, and showcases throughout the county.

CENTRAL SONOMA COUNTY
Central Sonoma County has a whole lot of great going on. Showcasing both cultural urban diversity and natural rural gorgeousness, it only makes sense to throw in things like exotic animals (at Safari West), some horticultural wows (Luther Burbank Gardens), and unexpected art murals around the corners … to name a few.

CENTRAL sonoma county
Northern California is lucky to have the very cool city of Santa Rosa (pop. 170,685). Plopped right in the middle of the otherwise fairly rural Sonoma Wine Country, Santa Rosa has diversified the region with everything from colorful culture to award-winning beers, and is host to more farmers markets than one can count, all supported by local and surrounding agriculture, and many of which are open year-round. With three downtown shopping districts — Old Courthouse Square, Railroad Square and Montgomery Village — as well as a wide variety of neighborhoods, it may be tough to choose where to settle in. Some easy favorites are the Midtown Fourth neighborhood, where you can
find two versions of donuts just blocks from each other, either beloved old-school or hip and fancy, as well as the best burgers in town and the beautiful, walkable historic McDonald neighborhood just steps away; or Roseland, where the vibrant culture is celebrated with food, music, and art. The commitment to keeping the friendly feel in the urban growth means the gentle bustle of this city keeps things interesting, and full-on fun. Just to the north is the tiny, two-square-mile town of Fulton (pop. 541). Near the railroad tracks you will find an industrial artisan center — Fulton Crossing — where you can take some time to admire fine art, handmade furniture, installation sculptures, and so much more. And don’t miss the colorful produce stand overflowing with delicious, fresh local produce.
OLD COURTHOUSE SQUARE
The urban center of downtown Santa Rosa received an infusion of hip energy with the much-anticipated reunification of Old
Courthouse Square. The majority of the
many restaurants, bars, and cool coffee spots all are kind enough to spread their seating out onto the sidewalk. Walking is also encouraged: cool stores, ethnic foods, and more are all an easy stroll away. Plus community events like free concerts, farmers markets, festivals, or bigger productions like GranFondo and Ironman races keep the “hub” in the hubbub happening around The Square.
Fly into Wine Country. Located in the heart of Northern California’s worldrenowned Wine Country, STS offers flights on: Alaska Airlines to Los Angeles (LAX), Orange County (SNA), San Diego (SAN), Portland (PDX), and Seattle (SEA); American Airlines to Phoenix (PHX); United Airlines to Denver (DEN) and San Francisco (SFO); and Sun Country Airlines to Las Vegas (LAS) and Minneapolis (MSP). All Airlines offer a wide-range of connecting flights to destinations in the continental United States, Mexico, and beyond. Blvd., Santa Rosa / 707-565-7240 / flysts.com.
Discover one of the most unique stores in the Bay Area — the Made Local Marketplace — where everything is made by local artists, makers, and producers. Featuring over 500 local artisans, you’ll find pottery, kids toys, clothing, jewelry, housewares, fresh produce, succulents, food items, and art. Whether you’re looking for that perfect gift or something special for yourself, discover the amazing selection of products that are North Bay Made. Open daily in downtown Santa Rosa, 2 Made Local Marketplace / 529 Fourth St., Santa Rosa / 707-583-7667 / madelocal marketplace.com.
Locally made art and unique gifts are plentiful at Corrick’s. Whether you’re looking for plein air paintings of Sonoma County vineyards, elegant pens or stationery, or just a local postcard, it’s the place to find the finest from Sonoma County and beyond. With over a century in downtown Santa Rosa, 3 Corrick’s / 637 Fourth St., Santa Rosa / 707-546-2424 / corricks.com features 40+ artists in the Sonoma County Art Trails Gallery within its 14,000 sq. ft. emporium. Open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with art openings until 7 p.m. the first Friday of every month. City parking garage validation.

My first job in Sonoma County was packing pears on a small farm in Graton. I lived all over Sonoma County before settling into Healdsburg. Living above the Russian River, I am able to draw upon nature for inspiration in my work and daily life. I think the natural beauty here and plethora of culinary culture literally feeds the soul. With art I strive to reflect the gifts we’re given and join in the feast.

I was born and raised on the winery property. As a farmer, I’m not only able to grow incredible grapes, but have an extensive garden as well, and grow almost everything we need. The versatility is incredible here; this area’s Mediterranean climate is really conducive to healthy living. I feel blessed to be able to walk outside with my two crazy dogs and just start pruning — everything you’d want is right here!

SONOMA COUNTY’s
COAST 55 MILES OF PURE BLISS AND WONDER Sonoma County’s contribution to the rugged, jaw-dropping Highway 1 coastline inspires awe, spontaneous poetry, and some pretty sweet pics to share. Hike to the coast, chill out with some chowder, or just park and enjoy the view. Up and down and all around this coastal region, you’ll find small towns rich in history and worthy of your attention. A perfect spot for art, food, and beachcombing, Gualala (pop. 2,093) sits on the northernmost edge of the county line marked by the Gualala River. You can rent kayaks there, and a family campground is just up the river. Just south about 10 minutes is The Sea Ranch (pop. 1,305), where people play a minor role and allow nature to dictate the attractions, pace of life, and the many activities favored by residents and visitors alike. This community of mostly private homes does offer lodging and public access paths to the rocky beaches. Equally beautiful are the headlands and hills around Stewarts Point, which are in the middle of the ancestral grounds of the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians. Slightly to the east on a coastal hilltop, Annapolis (pop. about 400) is nestled in one of the westernmost grape-growing regions in Sonoma County, home to redwood forests and rugged mountains.

Timber Cove (pop. 164) is home of a huge obelisk sculpture by Benny Bufano. The 93foot piece of concrete, lead, and mosaic titled “The Expanding Universe” is only a few yards behind the Timber Cove Resort. It’s a perfect detour for those heading to Stillwater Cove Regional Park for some camping or easy hiking along more than two miles of trails. A few miles south, Fort Ross occupies a breathtaking bluff overlooking a sandy beach and offshore islets. This site is proud to have sheltered the native Kashia Pomo people, 19th-century Russian traders and the native Alaskans who worked with them, and Mexican and American ranchers from the 1840s onward. Each July, the Fort Ross State Historic Park hosts an annual Cultural Heritage weekend with costumed reenactments,
historic crafts, cannon firings, music, food, and other festival activities. The small, hillside town of Jenner (pop. 136) is the ideal spot to watch nature in action. Stop in to the small general store for some supplies and chitchat, then settle in to enjoy the view. Changing tides and ocean waves compete with the Russian River’s constant flow, creating a sandbar that holds the river in place … for a while. The result is the Russian River Estuary, where birds, freshwater fish, and the harbor seals that
make Goat Rock Beach their home all hang out. Feel like a stunning hike? Check out the 5,630-acre Jenner Headlands, located north of Jenner. Just a bit east, Duncans Mills (pop. 85) was the booming lumber mill town for this region in the early 1870s, and the North-

western Pacific Railroad served Duncans Mills from the 1870s until the last train left in 1935. Today, the restored railroad depot stands proud, having won the California Historical Society Award for the best restoration in 1971. Tucked in the hills above the Russian River, the tiny community of Cazadero (pop. 354) is nestled along the flowing waters of Austin Creek, under the shade of ancient redwoods. The renowned Raymond’s Bakery draws fans from far away, and cyclists love exploring Cazadero’s back roads.

South of Jenner, Bodega Bay (pop. 1,077) harbors everything you want in a fishing village: the smell of the sea, activities like kayaking and horseback riding, a killer view of the whale migrations, hot clam chowder, and colorful saltwater taffy. Four miles inland is the village of Bodega (pop. 220): A quirky mix of shops and businesses line this short stretch of the Bodega Highway and the surprise of avant-garde dining in a funky little bar called The Casino. The village also includes several distinctive landmarks: The tall white spire of St. Teresa of Avila Church, the old Potter School House (now a private residence), and Taylor Street, which were backdrops for the 1963 movie “The Birds,” directed by suspense film master Alfred Hitchcock. At the southern end of it all, the small town of Valley Ford (pop. 147) combines country hospitality with the culinary and artistic sophistication normally found in a large city. Set in the heart of the Sonoma County dairy belt, the town is home to dairy farmers; cattle, goat, and sheep ranchers; and cheese makers.

No trip to Sonoma County is complete without a little (or fair amount of) wine tasting. Luckily, the Sonoma Coast and Fort Ross-Seaview wine regions can help with that. Using fog lines, altitude, and rugged terrain creatively, winemakers here take advantage of the unique climate of this region to produce beautiful Burgundian-style wines; think Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, among others. *Open by Appointment Only

My work relates wholeheartedly to my surroundings – to the connectedness of what we see and experience in this incredible environment of the beautiful northern Sonoma Coast. What I love most about this region is the desire it gives you to return. Moving here, I began to listen to the navigator within myself. That’s LIFE ... ever extending, expanding, and constantly opening up.

EASTERN SONOMA COUNTY
Where it all began:
SONOMA VALLEY. This beautiful stretch of Wine Country is home to a historic Mission, delicious and creative restaurants to make your inner foodie swoon, gorgeous state parks, and a rich history in wine. The town of Sonoma (pop 10,892) knows how to mix it up. Home of the last Spanish-Mexican Mission, they’ve got history covered, along with wine tasting, cheese, boutiques, restaurants, spas, and everything one needs to enjoy the good life, if only for a day. Lively events like huge farmer’s markets, festivals, fun runs, and more all take place in the eightacre Sonoma Plaza, the largest town square statewide. A few blocks away you’ll find several historic wineries, including Buena Vista, California’s oldest winery, and Gundlach Bundschu, the state’s oldest family owned winery. Nearby Schellville has San Pablo Bay, wine tasting, a small airport, and the designer gardens and boutique shops at Cornerstone Sonoma. sonomacounty.com
Eclectic Boyes Hot Springs (pop. 6,656) has local taquerias, dog-friendly coffee shops, the historic Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn, and more. Collectively, the residential districts of Agua Caliente, Boyes Hot Springs, El Verano, and Fetters Hot Springs are nicknamed “The Springs.” The laid-back village of Glen Ellen (pop. 784) welcomes visitors with casual ease. Stop at Jack London Village for lunch, then check out the nearby art and shops, or explore the last home of celebrated author Jack London — his beloved ranch is now a state park, with historic farm buildings and miles of scenic trails.
Kenwood (pop. 1,028) offers fabulous wine tasting, renowned dining spots, and a cool mix of shops, including a garden store featuring colorful metal animal sculptures. Nearby Sugarloaf Ridge State Park has miles of hiking trails, as well as the Robert Ferguson Observatory, where you can stargaze after dark on public viewing days. EASTern sonoma county

NORTHERN SONOMA COUNTY
The
RICH AND DIVERSE growing
region of Northern Sonoma County has welcomed wine, food, and history lovers alike for countless years. Blending tactile farm life with state-of-the-art winemaking techniques, the heart and soul of wine country does not disappoint with its seven winegrowing regions serving the local area, and beyond. Community-driven and northernmost Cloverdale (pop. 9,149) is a perfect little town to get to know. Lovers of dynamic art, inspired food, performing arts, and good people can settle in and feel right at home here. Events like the Citrus Fair and Fiddle Festival make this an annual destination to those in the know, and a quiet stroll down Main Street shows off the pride of this warm and welcoming town. Just south is the small town of Geyserville (pop. 862), which
106
NORTHern sonoma county
manages to retain the dusty vibe of its history, while gently nodding toward modern times. Wood-planked sidewalks front boutique wine tasting, Italian dinners, and the creatively curated cocktails at Geyserville Gun Club. Plus, its proximity to a casino and the Russian River aren’t too shabby, and the rock-skip and a jump distance to the fishing, swimming, and barbecuing to be had at beautiful Lake Sonoma make it the perfect destination.
Visitors from around the world come to covet the high-end dining and rustic-chic wares found in Healdsburg (pop. 11,541). Once a bona fide farm town complete with tractors parked around the town plaza, Healdsburg is now the quintessential hub of high-end, and a perfect starting point for touring more than 150 wineries in four of Northern California’s finest Sonoma Wine Country regional appellations. Finally, a visit to quaint Old Downtown Windsor offers a relaxing way to spend the afternoon. Though Windsor (pop. 26,801) only became incorporated as a city in 1992, its history began long before then — early settlers started purchasing land in the 1850s. Today, the downtown is home to shops, restaurants, and wine tasting, and the Town Green is a perfect place to stop with kids who need to get their wiggles out.
Cloverdale’s small-town charm and 1 friendly ambiance welcomes all visitors, whether staying for the night, passing through, or planning to relocate. Its Mediterranean climate makes it a perfect year-round destination. From recreational options like skydiving, cycling, hiking, biking, and boating to gardening, shopping, and enjoying the arts, Cloverdale has it all. Contact 1 Cloverdale Chamber

AVA? Each region is known for different varietals, but they all specialize in incredible wine.
AL E XAN D E R VAL L E Y Banshee’s humble beginnings have evolved into a modern yet cozy tasting room, inviting guests to enjoy wines in a casual setting. Relax amid a warm backdrop of reclaimed wood floors and walls, distressed leather furniture, spinning vinyl, and a vintage communal table. Banshee offers wines by the glass or bottle as well as tasting flights (complimentary for Banshee wine club members). The wine list features a range from lip-smacking Rosé, to coastal Chardonnay, to micro-produced single-vineyard Pinot Noirs. Savory small bites by local purveyors are also available for purchase. 1 The Banshee Tasting Room / 325 Center St., Healdsburg / 707-395-0915 / bansheewines.com. At 2 Davis Family Vineyards / 52 Front St., Healdsburg / 707-433-3858 / davisfamilyvineyards.com they believe wine is an essential element in a rich and passionate life. For over 20 years, their wines have been adding layers of flavor to both meals and friendships. In their quest for palatal perfection, they intend for every wine to be a true, natural reflection of the vineyard from which it came, as well as the year in which it was grown. Their earth-friendly farming practices enable them to achieve this goal vintage after vintage. Beyond these techniques being environmentally conscientious, they also ensure a higher quality of fruit — and life — for generations to come!
There’s a strong sense of community here; we love being tourists in our own backyard. We love exploring the area for hidden gems around the county. Owning and operating an agriculture-based business in Sonoma County is pretty special. The diversity of agriculture in this region is truly inspiring and gives us access to so many great resources to incorporate into our own spirits products.

SOUTHERN SONOMA COUNTY
FULL OF CONTRASTS.
Southern Sonoma County is
Modern here, rustic there. Cows across the street, accordions in the park. San Pablo Bay, The Petaluma River … what do you want to see? You’ll probably find it here.
The planned community of Rohnert Park (Pop. 41,398) is a Sonoma County anomaly. While housing multiple national brand stores and chain restaurants, this city pleasantly surprises visitors with hidden entertainment options and modern, sustainable building projects. Perhaps the greatest example of this is Amy’s Drive Thru, which features organic, vegetarian “fast food,” and a functioning water tower, which feeds the living roof that tops it all off. Rohnert Park is also home to Sonoma State University, known for its rich liberal arts tradition, where culture-seekers head to the Green Music Center, which brings in world-renowned musical performers. Friends with Lady Luck? The Graton Resort & Casino offers plenty of chances to win big. A hexagonal plaza is a distinct feature for the quaint city of

Cotati (pop. 7,394). Always an
easy spot to convene, it really comes to life in August during the annual Accordion Festival. Whether you like your accordion music with a Cajun beat or Spanish flair, this is a great way to enjoy Cotati’s quirky personality. If you’re looking for hometown Americana with Wine Country sophistication, check out Petaluma (pop. 57,941) – it’s among the most picturesque, and oldest, towns in all of California. Petaluma’s well-preserved downtown area is on the National Register of Historic Places, thanks to its Victorian homes and iron-front buildings
adding beauty and character to this sweet riverfront town, where one can find incredible food, on-trend fashion and fabulous thrift finds, great live music, and inspired art. Just north of Petaluma is the small village of Penngrove (pop. 2,778), once a freight station, now a cute, rustic slice of history. At the turn of the last century, Penngrove was the second largest egg and poultry producing area in the country, second only to Petaluma.
Park the car and explore Petaluma’s downtown shopping district on foot; there’s plenty to see here. Kentucky Street alone offers multiple clothing stores — including ethical, boutique, recycled, and vintage. Hop down to Petaluma Boulevard via Western for tons more.
Cultural arts hub for the North Bay, the Petaluma Arts Center is located in a distinctive historic railroad station. Exhibitions display local, regional, and world-class artists. If you love art of all kinds, stop by the 1 Petaluma Arts Center / 230 Lakeville St., Petaluma / 707762-5600 / petalumaartscenter.org, conveniently located next to the Petaluma Visitors Center and the SMART train station.

The very definition of “micro-climate,” the picturesque Petaluma Gap produces fruit unlike that of its warmer-climate neighbors. The Rhone-reminiscent styles thrive in the foggy mornings and cool, wind whipped afternoons, resulting in rich, intense wines worth your attention.

INDEPENDENT TOWNS of western Sonoma County showcase the region’s rich variety and heritage. Diversity is the key to the town of Sebastopol (pop. 7,379), which blends a small town vibe with an international consciousness. Its residents celebrate culture, healing arts, both decadent and healthy dining, wine, craft brews, farming, sustainable living, and outdoor recreation. At the forefront of climate change efforts, Sebastopol is an engaging and intriguing place to visit. Freestone (pop. 32), at the southern point of the Bohemian Highway and just west of Sebastopol, is home to unexpected indulgences. Immerse in a cedar enzyme bath or get a relaxing massage at Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary. Across the street, Wild Flour Bread attracts customers from miles around to taste its beautiful hard-crust breads, and Enduring Comforts has an eclectic mix of antiques and collectibles housed in a repurposed midcentury gas station. Grab some cheese and charcuterie, too, at Freestone Artisan Cheese, which offers handcrafted artisan cheeses, hot roasted California nuts, and other goodies. sonomacounty.com
Originally the last stop west for the Pacific Railroad, Occidental (pop. 1,115) is a great spot to eat, toodle around, or even stay. Located in the middle of the Bohemian Highway just north of Freestone, it attracts cyclists and car clubs with its central location and challenging routes between the coast and redwoods. Head east to discover what was once considered a “rough little apple cannery town.” Graton (pop. 1,707) is tucked quietly away in the heart of beautiful Green Valley, a historic apple-turnedrenowned-wine region. Graton’s small business district is an eclectic mix of Zagat-rated restaurants, contemporary California handcrafts and fine art galleries, antiques, a small market, a wine production facility, and community hall. Follow the Gravenstein Highway (Highway 116) north from Sebastopol and discover the home to the heritage apple and namesake, the Gravenstein.
Heading north you will find the laid-back, family friendly town of Forestville (pop. 3,293), where the coffee shop roasts its own beans, and mouth-watering aromas tempt passersby into the artisan bakery. Dining options vary from down-home burgers and pizza, to gourmet farm-to-table cuisine. Flanked by neighboring river towns Rio Nido (pop. 522) and Monte Rio (pop. 1,152), the hip and rustic Russian River town of Guerneville (pop. 4,534) mixes towering redwoods, cool winding water, and an energy not often found in small towns. A popular vacation destination for its beaches and access to the Armstrong Redwoods State Park, Guerneville’s Main Street also offers a cool mix of tourist-loved local shops, galleries, coveted restaurants, bars, and more.

Sonoma County has been my home since 1995 and nothing has been able to pull me away. The early spring and extended summer weather allows me to often work outside as an artist. Living near the redwoods, river, and coast is inspirational. To relax, I love heading out to the Sonoma Coast, hiking the Pomo Canyon, or doing yoga at a neighboring beach along the Russian River.

The Russian River Valley is one of the most prized AVAs in the world and the individual vineyards are as esteemed as the winemakers. The signature evening fog cools the grapes by 30 to 40 degrees overnight. This allows an extended growing season and a high level of natural acidity in the fruit. Within the Russian River Valley there is more soil diversity than all of France and single-vineyard designate wines, particularly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, best express their terroir.

TRAVEL INFORMATION Sonoma county weather
Sonoma County’s natural beauty and moderate temperatures seldom dip below freezing, even in the winter. The area’s 25- to 30-inch annual rainfall happens primarily from November through April. January – Average high /low July – Average high /low Inland: 58 F (14 C) / 36 F (2 C) Inland: 90 F (32 C) / 52 F (12 C) Coast: 56 F (13 C) / 35 F (2 C) Coast: 80 F (26 C) / 48 (8 C).
What to Wear
Check the local weather before you depart. Temperatures can vary from the coast to inland each day. Wine Country casual for evenings out; jeans, khakis or shorts, T-shirts, comfortable walking shoes, a sweater and a medium-weight jacket should suffice for sightseeing. Think layers. A chilly, foggy summer morning may heat up to the 80s by 2 p.m. Temperatures start to drop after the sun goes down. In winter, heavy coats aren’t necessary, but you’ll want a medium-weight, water resistant jacket.
LGBT TRAVEL
The openness of its natural spaces and its people make Sonoma County an inviting place for LGBT visitors. In fact, you’ll find thriving LGBT-owned and operated businesses, as well as gay-friendly restaurants, hotels, and resorts throughout Sonoma County. You’ll feel right at home.
Essential services
Sometimes things happen — yes, even in paradise. Accidents, germs, unexplainable woes … luckily, Sonoma County has plenty of superior health care services available for those unexpected interruptions. With hospitals, urgent care facilities, emergency dentists, animal care centers, and more, the ship-shape condition of you and yours is a priority here.
Traveling with your furry friend
From wineries with tasty treats to pet-friendly lodgings, parks, and campgrounds — Sonoma County offers up a warm welcome to your friendly, four-legged traveling companion. Visit sonomacounty.com and search “pet friendly” to find a list you and your furry friend will love to bark about.
CANNABIS FAQS
As cannabis laws change, there are a lot of questions. A few basics: No, you can’t just smoke it on the street like you’re Jack Kerouac; come on, you hooligan! You can buy it from state licensed establishments if you’re 21 and older, but keep it away from the kiddos, and don’t smoke and drive. Above all, use your head.
Tipping
In the U.S. hospitality industry it’s customary to tip people who help your vacation run smoothly. These include airport porters, hotel bellhops, hotel maids, cab drivers, restaurant servers, tour guides and/or limousine drivers, and massage therapists.
International Travelers
Sonoma County, like the rest of California and the United States, uses the U.S. dollar for currency and calculates distance in miles, temperature in Fahrenheit, and weight in pounds. We measure wine by the glass.
