SONOMA COUNTY

Sonoma County is home to California's oldest wineries. In Sonoma, fog from the Pacific Ocean filters through mountain gaps into many small valleys to produce wine as superior and varied as any in the world.

Sonoma's varietals are a who's who of European fine wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Zinfandel. Sonoma's fruit-filled, elegant "Zins" are developing their own cult following. All in a single county!
