Welcome to Sonoma Wine Country

SONOMA COUNTY, CA - If a wine region could be compared to a sumptuous buffet where every mouthwatering option looks as good as the last, it would be Northern California’s Sonoma County. Comprising more than 200,000 acres of varied terrain between the Pacific Ocean and the Mayacamas Mountains, Sonoma is a region as renowned for its sheer size as for its remarkable diversity. Boasting no fewer than12 sub-appellations, a dizzying array of grape varieties produced and a colorful winemaking past that pre-dates the Mission era, Sonoma offers visitors a wealth of opportunities to expand their vinous horizons against the backdrop of one of the world’s most dynamic wine regions.

You might spend a day quaffing crisp sparkling wines in the rolling vine-covered hills of Sonoma’s southerly Carneros, and spend the next sipping elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay near the banks of the heavily forested Russian River to the west. Central and northern Sonoma County offer equally exciting – and varied - options, from heady Zins in Dry Creek to sumptuous Bordeaux-style blends in Sonoma Valley, and just about everything in between. And with its southern border situated just an hour north of San Francisco, Sonoma County is wonderfully – nay, deliciously – accessible.
