Annually, SCT's Marketing and Public Relations team inspires hundreds of journalists and influencers to write positive travel, wine, and lifestyle articles. Help us tell the Sonoma County story by providing us with your unique information.

Host Journalists to Experience Your Business

The team interacts with local, regional, national, and international media by pitching story ideas, fact-checking articles, sending press releases, and hosting visits to Sonoma County. You can attract journalists to your business by offering free wine tastings, meals, accommodations, and tickets to attractions that will go in our Sonoma County Journalist Handbook. The handbook is only available to qualified journalists who are screened by Sonoma County Tourism. Journalists who receive the handbook will contact you directly to redeem the offers. An offer can be a free wine tasting and tour, a 60 percent-off media rate for lodging, a free meal, or even 60 percent off a spa treatment. The choice of what to offer is yours. Learn how to submit an offer for the Media Handbook here.
