BECAUSE
FUN MATTERS ...
WINE
TOURING
Sonoma
County's location has made it the most perfect
place for making fabulous wines. Visitors can
expect a wealth of opportunities to visit vineyards,
stop by wineries and wine tasting rooms ... and
to enjoy the "fruits of our labor" here
in one of the most picturesque wine country regions
in the world. Please check out our Travel Partners
for Sonoma Wine Country favorites. >>>
DINING
Explore the characteristic flavors of
Sonoma County – from the finest wines, artisan
cheeses and meats to the freshest, seasonal fruits
and vegetables from many of our organic farms.
All of this agricultural diversity is reflected
in the many fine restaurants throughout Sonoma
County. You can find the flavors of Sonoma County
in a leisurely gourmet meal at one of our many
4-star restaurants, or in casual taquerias, cafes,
take-out delicatessens and farm stands. Come enjoy
the bounty of Sonoma County and do plan a stop
at award winning Applewood
Inn's Restaurant in Guerneville, a member
of Wine Country Inns.
SHOPPING
Sonoma
County boasts a rich range of shops and stores
where that special gift may be found. The choices
run from unique, individual shops with art objects,
collectibles, one-of-a-kind clothing and craft
emporia to enclosed malls and factory outlets.
Each community in Sonoma County has its own collection
of distinctive shopping possibilities.
FARM
TRAILS
You
are never far from a farm when you visit Sonoma
County. Outside our towns and cities you will
find farms, market gardens, orchards, vineyards,
pastures, nurseries, and wildlife preserves. You
might find a 1000-acre cattle ranch with a view
of the Pacific Ocean or a small ostrich or llama
farm. Pick up a Farm Trails Guide and Map at local
farms and you will find pick-your-own flowers,
pumpkins, berries and apples. You can even cut
your own Christmas tree.
HIKING
Whether
your preference is for distance, ruggedness, or
incline, all these hiking choices are available
throughout Sonoma County. We have many state and
county parks. Just to name a few, you might choose
to hike amongst the oaks of Annadel and Spring
Lake Park in eastern Santa Rosa, or head west
and hike in the quiet sanctuary of the giant redwoods
in Armstrong Woods.
CYCLING
Sonoma
County has a multitude of bike paths and bike
lanes, and they get daily use by those who choose
biking as their preferred transportation. Our
county roads provide fun rides and excellent training
and conditioning for competitive cyclists. Each
geographical area has its own beautiful rides,
and there are bike rental shops to provide all
the essentials for a safe ride. Several bike-touring
companies provide everything, including escort,
lunch and an itinerary for your ride.
HORSE
RIDING
If horses are more than a recreation
for you, bring your own horse and join a distance
ride or take lessons in Armstrong Woods State
Park and rent a horse so you can experience the
fun too. Horse-drawn wagons and carriages might
help get you in the rhythm of rural relaxation.
Some wineries use wagons and carriages for tours
and picnics for their guests.
SPA TREATMENTS
Pamper yourself or your loved one with
a treatment from one of our wonderful local spas.
Choose from a full day experience to a simple
massage… something to suit anyone. Facials, foot
treatments, manicures/pedicures await you in Sonoma
County. Let your host inn suggest a local spa
or private in-room massage therapist.
GOLF
FORE!!! Sonoma County has a variety of
golf courses to tempt you. From the wind swept
ocean beauty of Bodega Bay to the Redwoods course
on the Russian River to the world-class courses
nestled into the Mayacamus Mountains, we have
something for all levels of play. Lessons and
driving ranges are close at hand. Ask your host
inn to help set up a tee time on a course near
them.
THE
ARTS
Sonoma
County is home to some wonderful museums and galleries.
The Charles M. Schultz Museum in Santa Rosa is
a beautiful tribute to the cartoonist and his
medium. Luther Burbank Home and Gardens showcases
the ingenious wonder of plant life. We even have
a wild animal park that allows guests to experience
the art of nature from the back of a safari jeep.
Many of our quaint towns have local history museums
highlighting the history and culture of our area.
Art galleries surround our town plazas and the
October ARTrails Open Studio Tour is a must for
art lovers. Throughout the year each town hosts
a variety of cultural shows, fairs, and festivals.
Take advantage of our rich local culture.
THEATER
The Wells Fargo Center for the Arts hosts
live concerts, stage productions, and music, including
the popular Santa Rosa Symphony at the facility
just north of Santa Rosa. There are local community
theaters in Petaluma, Santa Rosa, Sebastopol,
and Healdsburg with plenty of local talent. The
Raven
Theater in Healdsburg is host to many interesting
venues from live theater to Celtic music to talent
shows. Cloverdale, Healdsburg, and Santa Rosa
have movie theaters for the latest shows.
LUTHER
BURBANK ESTATE
Visit
the site where the famous horticulturist created
new plants. Visit the beautiful gardens year-round.
April-Oct. Enjoy the museum, gift shop and drop-in
tours.
CONCERTS
Many
wineries host concert venues throughout the year,
some - under the stars. Also scheduled are numerous
outdoor concerts associated with Jazz, Blues and
Guitar festivals. Ask your host innkeeper about
these local events. Healdsburg has Tuesday Night
on the Plaza free concerts throughout the summer
months…from rock and roll, to swing, to
jazz, to military marching bands. Just drop by
with your picnic dinner and enjoy. Each town has
weekend music associated with the local breweries,
pubs, or restaurants. Ask you host innkeeper for
the latest schedules. |
