Sonoma Valley
Where World-Class Wine Country Meets Historic California Heritage
Discover Sonoma Valley
Framed by the Mayacamas and Sonoma Mountain ranges, Sonoma Valley is widely recognized as the birthplace of California’s modern commercial wine industry. Stretching 17 miles from San Pablo Bay north to Kenwood, this sun-drenched valley offers a harmonious blend of rustic agricultural heritage, historic adobe architecture, and world-renowned viticulture.
At the heart of the valley lies the historic Sonoma Plaza—a eight-acre central park surrounded by 19th-century landmarks, artisan tasting rooms, and acclaimed farm-to-table restaurants. Whether exploring historic olive groves or sampling cool-climate Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma Valley delivers an unhurried, authentic wine country experience.
