See and be seen. In Sonoma County, this speaks more of the stunning landscapes, wineries and coastal and mountain views, rather than the people.
Sure, this gorgeous region of Wine Country brims with luxury and well-heeled visitors, but we don’t flaunt it.
Private jets park next to convenient commuter planes at our airport, and it’s almost a guarantee that the scruffy looking guy next to you at the farm-to-table restaurant is one of the industry’s top winemakers, fresh off the vineyards from harvest.
Michelin-starred chefs shop right next to you at our farmers markets, and our cheese makers may have a little mud on their boots from tending their flocks, but their products grace the shelves of the finest gourmet markets in the world.
Hey, in Sonoma, that’s just our style.
