The captivating town of Sonoma is a favorite destination to experience the rich tradition of winemaking and California’s fascinating history.

Sonoma was the site of the Bear Flag Revolt, when Californians declared their independence from Mexico. Visit landmarks like the preserved Mission San Francisco Solano, the last Spanish-Mexican mission built in California, and the Sonoma Barracks, as well as the nearby historic home of General Vallejo.

Taste wine at California’s oldest wineries, Buena Vista and Gundlach-Bundschu. Stroll the Sonoma Plaza, an 8-acre town square and the largest in California, to find a historic theater, restaurants, and abundant wine-tasting opportunities. Discover art galleries, craft brew pubs, and the famous Fairmont Mission Inn & Spa, where ancient hot springs naturally enrich the resort’s soaking pools, steam room, and saunas.
