The California Wine Country:
Sonoma is one of California's premier wine making regions yet it has remained relatively untouched by tourists compared to its more popular neighbor, Napa Valley (only 5 miles apart). It is said that Sonoma Valley gets its name from the Miwok Native American Indians. The Miwok named it the valley or "many moons" while on their walk through the Sonoma and the Mayacama mountains the moon was said to raise seven times.

The Golden Gate Bridge:
During our Wine Country Tour we stop at one of the most famous landmarks in the world, The Golden Gate Bridge. We stop in a less frequently visited vista point to get one of the most spectacular views of The Golden Gate Bridge that makes for incredible photo opportunities. Winery Tour Stops - We typically visit three wineries on our tour and sometimes more depending on the time, the weather, the stars, etc. Also, we can take suggestions on which wineries to visit if time permits. . . all up to popular demand.

Downtown Sonoma declared a national historic landmark, downtown Sonoma and the San Francisco Solano Mission are at the heart of this renowned wine producing region.

Initially constructed as a Mexican outpost established to protect the country's territory, it was overtaken by American frontiersmen in 1846 and briefly became the capital of The Bear Flag republic during the Bear Flag revolt and shortly thereafter joined the union. Consequently, Sonoma was the first place ever to fly today's state Flag.
