Sonoma Valley Travel Agent Professional

California's Wine Wonderland is Sonoma County. Its synonymous with sprawling vineyards, scenic beauty, and world-class wine. Some of the best wines come from historic vineyards here and Sonoma offers a diverse range of wineries, each known for specific varietals. You can drink Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, complex Pinot Noirs, outstanding Cabernets among others. This picturesque region in California’s wine country is increasingly turning into my favorite destination for wine enthusiasts and those just looking for a tranquil getaway. .

Wine tasting tours will make the most of your visit. Many wineries offer guided tours that provide insights into the winemaking process and the history of the vineyard.

My favorite place to stay is Healdsburg. Located on the north end of Sonoma county, the charming town square is filled with boutique shops, art galleries, and tasting rooms. It is very walkable with tons of restaurants, be sure to get some oysters from Willi's Seafood & Raw Bar.

A must see region is the Russian River Valley, known for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Wineries like Hartford Court Winery and J. Vineyards offer exceptional tastings!

For a unique perspective, and adventure we like taking a hot air balloon ride over the vineyards. It offers breathtaking views of the landscapes and can be a memorable addition to your trip.

Outside the valley towards the coast we enjoy the beautiful scenic drive. Bodega Bay is breathtaking and worth the trip with coastal views and beaches to explore.

Another fantastic activity to do while in Sonoma are culinary classes, some wineries offer experiences where you can learn about food and wine pairings or even try your hand at cooking.
