Whether for a day trip, a weekend, or a weeklong escape from the San Francisco Bay area or anywhere else, Sonoma Valley offers a host of fun, rewarding, and exciting activities only a distance away.
While Sonoma Valley happens to be 30-minutes closer and easier to access than its famous neighbor, Napa Valley, the area offers comparable world-class wine tasting, superb dining and entertainment, and the full spectrum of outdoor adventures.
Many experts, by the way, refer to Sonoma Valley as the “real Wine Country” since it was, in fact, the birthplace of the California wine industry.
Sonoma Valley Has It All
Easy to get to, Sonoma is the perfect getaway destination. The area features an attractive historic downtown area, gourmet and farm-to-table restaurants, luxury spas, excellent hotels and B&Bs, and parks and trails for everyone.
Hundreds of welcoming wineries dot the region’s landscape, always welcoming visitors to sample their award-winning wines.
Also, one of the favorite ways to kick off an adventure in beautiful Sonoma Valley is with an unforgettable hot air balloon excursion with Sonoma Ballooning.
Imagine the photo ops and beautiful memories of you and a loved one or friends floating gracefully above Sonoma Wine Country’s breathtaking scenery, consisting of the area’s vineyards, communities, and landmarks, framed by a mountainous backdrop to the east.
