Sonoma is the quiet/hidden sister valley to Napa. Everybody who goes to wine country thinks Napa up front, but the truth is, Sonoma valley is better. Its a quieter valley and has the same high quality experiences you'll get in Napa. We much preferred to stay in Sonoma for our tours and you'll think the same way once you check... More

When I graduated from the local high school in 1960, there were four wineries in the whole Valley. Since then the open space has been largely filled by vineyards rather than houses. We have the best Plaza in Wine Country and lots of gret places to eat, which I will comment on. Enjoy!

The Sonoma Valley has something for everyone! My mother wanted to see a gallery with glass sculpture, my sister wanted to go to two wineries she'd had in mind ( there are more than two!), and I love the craft shops! We all had a great time. Mom is still enjoying her glass piece.
