Overall, a very nice experience. There are literally hundreds of wineries to see and taste. If you have certain types of credit cards, the tasting fee is waived. Be sure that you have a designated driver, because "DUI" can happen very quickly. If you look for my reviews, I've separately rated a few of the wineries we visited. More

Great place to take your wife or significant other. For the guys out there, suck it up and let your wife, or girl friend have a good time going through the litte shops.

The Sonoma Valley is one of the state's most beautiful wine areas. There are rolling hills and wineries, punctuated with dairy farms, barns, etc. Very scenic and some very good wine. I recommend getting one of the readily available booklets on farm stands and farms that can be visited for fresh fruit and vegetables. We go multiple times per year. More
