Jan 1, updated/removed bad links in Alexander Valley, next Carneros
Sonoma County, or Sonoma as it is regularly referred to on the wine boards, is a very large area spread over nearly 1,800 sq/mi and incorporating 16 different AVAs. Elevations from sea level to almost 2,700â make it an area of multiple hills, valleys, pastures and micro-climates. So many threads pop up here asking where to go and/or where to stay when visiting Sonoma. Being a local I want to scream âBe more specific!â Sonoma is a town but is also the name of the County. To me Sonoma is the town of. To the traveler it is the wine region. Giving you the proper advice hinges on multiple factors. Here are a few things to consider when asking for advice from Berserkers.
Where are you going?
Some AVAs are spread apart to where visiting more than one or two in a day is not a good choice so be aware of the location of your winery choices before mapping out your tastings.
Alexander Valley - Begins Southeast of Healdsburg and reaches to Cloverdale in the North
Bennett Valley - Extends Southeast from East Santa Rosa.
Carneros-Sonoma - Nestled between the Southern edge of Napa and the Southern edge of Sonoma along San Pablo Bay.
Chalk Hill - Stretches from the southeast of Windsor (Pleasant Ave) north to Hwy 128 in the Alexander Valley.
Dry Creek Valley - Stretches West of Healdsburg to Lake Sonoma
Fort Ross - Seaview - Within the Northern part of the Sonoma Coast AVA
Green Valley of Russian River Valley - A small area within the RRV to the West of Hwy 116 and the East of the Occidental Ridge, North of occidental Rd up to Forestville and the Russian River.
Knights Valley - South of the Alexander Valley under the looming Mount St Helena
Moon Mountain - on the West facing slope of the Mayacamas overlooking Sonoma.
Northern Sonoma - This AVA encompasses everything that isnât within the Sonoma Coast and Sonoma Valley area but has a small piece that holds the name Northern Sonoma and that is in between the Dry Creek Valley and Sonoma Coast AVAs along Skaggs Springs Rd through Annapolis.
Pine Mountain - Cloverdale Peak above the North end of the Alexander Valley
Petaluma Gap - The newest AVA, the Gap stretches from Rohnert Park in the North, the West facing slopes of Sonoma Mountain in the East, to the town of Bodega Bay in the West, South to Point Reyes and Southeast through Chileno Valley, Petaluma and follows the Petaluma River to San Pablo Bay. Map Link
Rockpile - Stuffed up into the hills at the Northwest end of the Dry Creek Valley overlooking Lake Sonoma
Russian River Valley - Central-most to the County this AVA stretches from Rohnert Park in the South to Healdsburg in the North. This AVA alone and itsâ 100+ wineries could be the focus of an entire week.
Map Link
Sonoma Coast - Runs the length of the County from San Pablo Bay to past Fort Bragg in the North containing the Petaluma Gap, Occidental, Freestone, Bodega, Jenner, Sea Ranch, Cazadero and more.
Sonoma Mountain - Approximately 10 miles of ridgeline beginning at the southern tip of Bennet Valley and stretching South.
Sonoma Valley - Along Hwy 12 from Pythian Rd (Oakmont Retirement Community) to Carneros in Sonoma. Encompassing Kenwood, Glen Ellen, Agua Caliente, Boyes Hot Springs, El Verano and Sonoma proper.
Where should you stay?
It would make sense to set up camp close to where you are planning to visit, taste, eat for convenience sake as well as for punctuality because traffic can be unpredictable.
Tasting in Carneros, Sonoma Valley, Sonoma Mountain, Moon Mountain AVAs? You probably should be staying in either Sonoma, Glen Ellen or Kenwood.
Bennet Valley, Russian River Valley, Green Valley, Sonoma Coast locations are begging you to stay in or around the Santa Rosa area. This includes Sebastopol, Forestville, Occidental, Guerneville to the West in order to make your plans flow easily.
Chalk Hill, Dry Creek, Rockpile, Alexander Valley, Knights Valley, Pine Mountain wineries say Healdsburg/Geyserville/Windsor are your best lodging choice. Knights Valley is a tough one as it is closer to Calistoga than anywhere else but then again there arenât a lot of wineries there, just vineyards.
It may make sense to spilt your stay between different locations to accommodate your plans. Or, if you like driving, choose one central location and travel out from there. Just keep in mind that if you are staying in Sonoma and you want to have dinner in Healdsburg you have a drive of over an hour, much of it on winding 2 lane roads, to get back to your room.
Are you traveling with Children? Or is it an Adult Only affair?
Some accommodations/wineries/restaurants are not as kid friendly as others. This may factor in you plans in a big way. Knowing this information up front ensures you get better advice. Also, knowing you have children along for the ride means you may need some non-wine related activities as well. Lots of this around here from Canoe Trips on the Russian River, to the Charles Shulz Museum/Snoopyâs Redwood Ice Arena, to Safari West Wild Game Preserve, to Sonoma Canopy Tours Zip-Lining, Coppola has lounge chairs around a pool where you can swim and enjoy the sun etc⊠Be specific!
Whatâs your budget?
Not everyone can afford Madrona Manor, The Farmhouse Inn, Dry Creek Kitchen, $1,000/btl wine lists, $75+/btl wineries. Some might want to cut back on the hotel to be able to afford more/better wines. Others may just be looking for the overall experience. Knowing your price range plays a big role.
Whatâs the weather like?
The weather is generally mild most of the year, compared to other parts of the country, but temperatures can vary drastically from one AVA to the next. More so in the Summer/Fall months. Winters are rainy but otherwise sunny. Spring brings warmer days but cool evenings. As soon as the sun dips the temps drop 20 degrees. Donât get caught with your pants down. Summers are normally warm and sunny with morning fog that burns off between 9-11am depending on location. If you wake up early and see blue skies and no sign of fog or any overcast be prepared for a hot day. Afternoon temps range from high 70âs to high 90âs with occasional 100+ spurts. The afternoons bring breezes caused by the coastal fog influence. They blow between 4pm and 6pm. Once the temps stabilize the wind goes away and the evenings are mild and pleasant. Fall is one of the best times of year as the days are warm and the evenings stay beautiful. Best times for night time outdoor activities is Aug-Oct.
The rainy season is Halloween through May. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day rain is rare. The hillsides dry up and everything other than trees and irrigated farms and landscaping turns brown. Fire danger is very real. Keep cigarette butts in ash trays not out windows. Roadside fires in Summer months are very common.
Be prepared for hot to cool weather. If you are leaving your hotel in shorts bring a pair of long pants and a sweater just in case. Vice-versa if you are leaving in sweaters and long pants bring shorts, t-shirt and flip flops. You can leave 90 degree weather in Healdsburg and find high 60âs and blowing fog in the Petaluma Gap. 80 in Sonoma, 90 in Kenwood, 75 in Santa Rosa 85 in Forestville and 65 in Jenner/Bodega Bay all in the same 1-1/2hour drive. Best to be prepared, especially if you are driving a convertable.
Winery Listings by AVA (under construction)
This started out as âRecommended Wineriesâ but what do I know, everyone has different tastes, not everyone is as geeky about this as the next. Itâs not up to me to decide who should or should not be listed here so I am listing every winery I am aware of. You can choose yours based on your preferences.
Please note that many producers use Custom Crush Facilities such as Punch Down Cellars, Vinify etc⊠So where they are based may differ from where their fruit comes from or where their tasting will take place. Shore those details up with the winery beforehand.
Disclaimer: I crossed the County Line with my Carneros listings but Carneros is Carneros. Part of it is in Sonoma and another part in Napa.
Note: If you have a Visa Signature card you can get free tastings at these wineries:
http://www.sonomawine.com/visa-signature-perks/vs-winery-guide
VISA Signature also sponsors the âTaste of Sonomaâ aka âWine Country Weekendâ held in September every year. The biggest annual food and wine event in Sonoma County. The grand tasting at MacMurray Ranch in Healdsburg is a massive event.

Bennett Valley
- At the present time there are just three active bonded wineries in the appellation. Matanzas Creek Winery, set at the heart of the Valley, is the only one with a tasting room open daily. The other small, quality focused Bennett Valley wineries; Flanagan Family Vineyards and Sable Ridge Winery are open to visitors by appointment only. More recently, several Bennett Valley growers have been impressed enough with the valleyâs unique terroir and distinctive fruit to begin producing wine under their own labels.
For the most part, these recently established brands produce small lots of ultra premium wine in artisan production facilities located outside of the Valley. They are likewise open to visitors by appointment only.

- - The Girl and the Fig - Country food with a French passionâ usually tough to get a reservation within 48 hours of seating, but one of the few restaurants on the Square open late with a limited bistro menu. Cocktails are very good, Pliny the Elder on tap, Only Rhone-styled wines on the list. The best burger in town.
- Harvest Moon CafĂ© â seems to be rarely talked about, but always good â surprisingly good, actually. A somewhat stiff corkage policy though.
- LaSalette â Portuguese/Mediterranean inspired fair â a fairly âexoticâ dining choice for Sonoma Square, with menu items like whole sardines baked in the wood fired oven, escargot, etc. The fish cakes are a huge favorite when available, and the anchovies are some of the best I have ever had.

- Hot Box Grill â Upscale comfort food, known for the duck fat fries and fried chicken plate.
- La Bamba Taco Truck â usually in the auto body shop parking lot directly across the street from the Sonoma Mission Inn - usually after 7pm. This is the most popular truck in town for good reason. The wait can be long. The perfect late night snack after a long day of tasting.
