About Napa Valley / Sonoma Valley, CA

The story of the Wine Country can be traced to the mid-19th century, when the grandfather of California viticulture, Hungarian-born Agoston Haraszathy de Mokcsa, concluded that his 500-plus-acre Buena Vista estate in modern Sonoma County could produce winemaking grapes to rival those of Europe. Indeed, in addition to a Mediterranean climate of moderate temperatures and ample year-round rainfall, this part of Northern California boasts a landscape where two verdant valleys are cleft by rolling mountains. The result is an environment not unlike that of Tuscany – and one that yields excellent pinot noir, chardonnay, merlot, and sauvignon blanc, not to mention terrific olives. Napa Valley, to the east, offers 200-plus commercial vineyards, most of which were founded after 1975. It extends from the San Pablo Bay's fertile Carneros region northward to Calistoga; its inviting hamlets and villages offer fine dining, shopping, and sightseeing opportunities. To the west is Sonoma County, the less touristy sibling of Napa. Sonoma extends to the coast, and its jagged cliffs and dramatic vistas compose a photographer's dreamscape. Its quaint, family-owned wineries are more secluded than those of its Napa neighbor, giving visitors the sense that they've escaped from the bustle of the real world, if only for a little while.

Napa Valley / Sonoma Valley, CA Factoid
Sonoma County's Russian River Valley is a favorite with hopeless romantics, who adore the small villages located on the river – charming little communities like Cazadero, Guerneville, Occidental, and Sebastopol. The area – named because it was explored and settled by Russian colonists who set out from nearby Fort Ross (an important otter- and sealskin trading outpost from 1812 to 1841) – today features numerous ways to spend a weekend, from shopping and exploring the enchanting redwood forests to wine-tasting and dining.
