Sonoma County CaliforniaWest of Napa there’s a California wine valley that’s every bit as beautiful but with much more open space. This is Sonoma, and the best way to experience it at one time is by joining a vintage biplane tour!
Back on terra firma, pedal through wine country, stopping only to take in the views and dine on a gourmet picnic lunch.
In the neighboring Russian River Valley, quiet getaways like the Village Inn offer great meals. In this case, it’s fresh Sonoma lamb shank prepared osso bucco style.
