The best way to get to know and explore Sonoma is through its wines. It sits right next to the equally popular Napa Valley and has many of the best wineries and vineyards in the state. It is home to California’s oldest commercial winery, Buena Vista, which was founded in 1857. It is also home to Gundlach Bundschu, the oldest family winery in California. Visitors and tourists cannot miss Sonoma Plaza, an 8-acre (3.2 hectares) town square, and the National Historic Monument that exudes the county’s old-fashioned charm. There are many activities to do in Sonoma: visit prime boutique wineries, go on biking and hiking tours, and take a tour onboard the Sonoma Valley Wine Trolley cable car. Enjoy degustation tours and sample the best local food. If you’re ready to explore this wine country, check out these top Airbnb vacation rentals in Sonoma, California for great places to stay.
