Overview
From its stunning wave-dashed shoreline to its lush vineyard-quilted valleys, along the way you’ll discover that world-class wine with food to match is just one aspect of what this beautiful and bountiful part of the world has to offer.
Try out a roving cooking class at Relish Culinary Adventures or enjoy an unforgettable meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant in an 1873 farmhouse. Applaud musicals and dramas at the 6th Street Playhouse or explore the great outdoors and watch for whales at Bodega Head. Pedal off through the countryside, paddle a ribbon of river, enjoy a wealth of cultural experiences—all that and more as you turn the pages of 100 Things to Do in Sonoma County Before You Die.
While not a guidebook in the traditional sense, with third-generation resident and acclaimed travel writer Yvonne Michie Horn as “insider” guide, this book invites a nooks-and-crannies exploration of the entire county.
