Wine tasting: Obviously the #1 reason, however in Sonoma they are committed to educating consumers on the intricacies of production, bottling and distribution. Two of my favorites are Bucher and the Thomas George vineyards. Both of them can be found on the renowned Westside road wine route!
Antiques: Unbeknownst to me was the bevy of antique shops mostly found in the Sebastopol area which borders Sonoma and is part of Sonoma county.
Seafood: The fresh seafood available in the area is phenomenal. I suggest Nick’s Cove where I had the best bacon and BBQ oysters of my life!
Pace of life: This area is laid back and has little in the way of major chain stores. You will see mostly mom and pop boutique shops with friendly and easy people to talk to. Life is simple and there’s a sense of time standing still
Micro-climate: Discover their unique climate where it can be 85 degrees during the day and a crisp 55 at night. There’s also a marine layer in some parts that help keep soil moist for optimum grape growing.
