Experience Sonoma Valley
Welcome to Sonoma Valley!
From the vineyards on the hills, to the charming small towns to the stunning vistas from the mountains, Sonoma Valley will win you over. Just 45-miles north of San Francisco, Sonoma is the ideal escape for travelers looking to slow down and enjoy the best of California’s food and wine scene.
Locally-owned and award-winning wineries, restaurants, and boutiques are found throughout the Valley, while Sonoma’s history is intertwined with the birth of modern California. The roads that lead you through the regions that comprise Sonoma Valley – the Carneros, the City of Sonoma, The Springs, Glen Ellen and Kenwood – each reveal a unique story.
A picturesque eight-acre plaza anchors the town of Sonoma, shaded by a canopy of mature trees and lined with historic adobe structures, including the last California Mission. Sonoma is also home to two of California’s oldest and most distinguished wineries.
