  Located in California’s “happiest” county—Sonoma Valley’s scenic 17-mile span offers endless discovery for new and repeat visitors. The birthplace of the California wine industry, it continues to delight discerning palates and rack up awards for its dazzling vintages—produced by wineries of all shapes and sizes. Here serene vistas of rolling vineyards and lush farmlands stretch as far as you can see, and postage stamp towns glow with as much character as the local wines. Truly a magical state of mind, a historic legacy, a leader in sustainable tourism, a home to America’s first CittaSlow or “slow” city, a mecca for the senses and a pastoral slice of paradise. And just 45 miles north of San Francisco, you’ll find our paradise makes for an incredibly convenient getaway. Show less
