Enjoy a "staycation" with this little sip of French countryside, outdoor adventure and delish decadence!
Imagine: you're watching the sun set over the rolling hills of grape vines. A distant chateau--actually a nearby winery bedecked with ivy--looks like a castle. The sunset bathes the dirt roads and the farmers' markets, where local artisans sell their wares, in golden light. Are you in the south of France? Nope! You're in Sonoma Valley, approximately six hours and 18 minutes from SoCal.
While Sonoma is known for its wonderful wine, there's more to this lovely destination. Explore farms, vineyards, wine caves and farmers' markets via bike, horse-drawn carriage, antique fire engine--even Segway!
Use our handy-dandy gallery, above, for your travel guide. We've even got a nifty map in there for you! So enjoy Sonoma--and beware that fourth winery of the day on your wine tour. It's always the last sip that does you in.
