Located in the San Francisco Bay area in southeastern Sonoma County is the Valley considered the birthplace of the California wine industry. The Sonoma Valley runs from Santa Rosa in the north to the San Pablo Bay in the south. Formed between the Mayacamas Mountains and Sonoma Mountains, Sonoma Valley was home to the earliest California Vineyards which survived both the phylloxera epidemic of the 1870s and the effects of 20th century prohibition.
Today along with being the home to over 100 wineries, The Valley plays host to events year-round. Along with historic wineries Sonoma Valley encompasses many other historic sites including the Jack London State Historic Park which preserves the land that Jack London called home. Visiting the Sonoma Valley includes hot springs resorts, historical buildings, and the history of the settlement of California by the missionaries.
The vineyards of the Sonoma Valley are as varied as the tastes of its wine. Award winning wines from Sonoma are made in wineries that include castles, Mediterranean influenced villas, garden chateaus and modern lounges. Grand estates, quaint wine cellars and subterranean caves are all a part of the winery tour experience in Sonoma Valley.
A proper tour of the Sonoma Valley begins on the Sonoma Valley Wine Trolley. Whether you are a seasoned wine enthusiast, a novice, a sommelier or a history buff the Sonoma Valley Wine Trolley offers an informative overview of the valley during a fun, friendly, relaxing, care free day.
The Sonoma Valley Wine Trolley is a six-hour adventure aboard a replica California cable car. Your hand-built cable car is based on the original blueprints from the San Francisco cable cars that were in operation from the 1890s through the 1930s. It is an all wooden carriage detailed right down to the brass bell. The modern conveniences of the day have been added including a state-of-the-art sound system and PA, along with connections for iPod and iPhone. The Sonoma Valley Wine Trolley is an open-air cable car that lets you experience a panoramic view as you visit four of the world class wineries of The Valley.
Your conductor on the guided Sonoma Valley Wine Trolley will explain the history, legacies, and folklore as you travel the green valley from vineyard to vineyard. The Sonoma Valley Wine Trolley is a group friendly event that encourages making new friends along the way.
The day on the Wine Trolley includes a catered picnic lunch prepared by the Girl & the Fig Restaurant, noted for their country French cuisine, a visit to four selected wineries for a taste of the treasures of Sonoma and a day of knowledgeable adventure. The Sonoma Valley Wine Trolley departs from Sonoma Plaza at 10:30 AM and returns at 4:30 PM. You must be 21 years old to purchase a ticket for the exclusive wine tasting adventures aboard the Sonoma Valley Wine Trolley.
Along with the historical education, laughs and priceless views the Trolley tour visits four wineries. Winery visits on the tour vary because of seasonal and special events happening on certain days, the tour will always include a visit to four premium wineries for a semi-private tasting. Winery tasting fees are separate, ranging from $20-$30 per vineyard.
Wineries are selected for daily tours from the list of twelve regularly visited by the tour conductors of the Sonoma Valley Wine Trolley.

The list includes:

Explore Sonoma California with me, walk the plaza, and see some of the history.
Explore Sonoma California with me, walk the plaza, and see some of the history. I started my walk on the west end of the square, across from the mission, looped back around, and ended at the park which is in the middle of the plaza.
If you're interested, here's a little history per Wikipedia:
The area around Sonoma was not empty when the first Europeans arrived, near the northeast corner of the territory was claimed by Coast Miwok, the northwest claimed by Southern Pomo, Wappo to the northeast, Suisunes and Patwin to the east.
Mission San Francisco Solano was the predecessor of the Pueblo of Sonoma. The Mission was established in 1823 by Father Jose Altimira of the Franciscan Order and was the 21st, last and northern most mission built in Alta California after Mexico gained independence from the Spanish Empire. In 1833 the Mexican Congress closed all of the missions in Alta California. Lieutenant Vallejo was appointed to oversee the closing of the Mission. He was instructed by Governor Figueroa to establish a pueblo at the site of the old Mission. Sonoma had already been founded as a pueblo in 1835, it remained under military control but lacked political structures of municipal self-government of other Alta California pueblos.
The Sonoma Barracks were built to house the soldiers, before it was livable the troops were housed in the old Mission. Later they became the headquarters for the insurgents who didn't favor the forming of a new republic. They created a bear flag and after it was raised the Californios called them Los Osos (The Bears) because of their flag and often scruffy appearance. The rebels embraced the expression and were known as the Bear Flag Revolt.
The Bear Flag Revolt and what remained of the California Republic ceased to exist on July 9th when U.S. Navy Lieutenant Joseph Revere raised the U.S. Flag in front of the Sonoma Barracks, he sent a second to be raised at Sutters Fort.
El Pueblo de Sonoma was laid out in the standard form of a Mexican town, centered around the largest plaza in California, eight acres. Its surrounded by many historical buildings. In the middle is the early 20th-century city hall and is still in use. The plaza is a National Historic Landmark and serves as the towns focal point, hosting many community festivals and bringing in tourist year round. There are about 30 restaurants in this area and a central tourist attraction.
The history is very rich and you can read more at the Wikipedia site and/or google Sonomas' history. It is explained how this city became what it is today. There's a lot of history about the state as well.

Three Fingered Jack
by
Greg Rank
Three Fingered Jack and the bandit Murietta
Slept at the Blue Wing Inn
Entertained by Cooper and Springs
Two sea ferrying men
Pio Pico and Kit Carson
They were regulars too
And fighting Joe Hooker, he caught a nap there
While sleeping off that booze
Three Fingered Jack and the bandit Murietta
Prayed at the old Mission
A quiet place, it was bright and cool
Almost like fishing
At the Barracks, Junipero Serra
A faithful man of God
Don't you think a priest owning slaves
Is just a little odd ?
Three Fingered Jack and the bandit Murietta did
Three Fingered Jack and the bandit Murietta did
Three Fingered Jack and the bandit Murietta did
They got drunk and shot up this town
And brought that Bear Flag down
Three Fingered Jack and the bandit Murietta
Stayed at the Blue Wing Inn
Entertained by Cooper and Springs
Two sea ferrying men
Pio Pico and Kit Carson
They were regulars too
And fighting Joe Hooker, he caught a nap there
Sleeping off that booze
Pre-spawn crankbait fish
Fish moving shallow (i know its early for pre spawn, but were having some wierd weather patterns, so idk what to call it.
but fish have moved up shallow, and seem to be feeding up on baitfish.

Sugarloaf, Sonoma Vineyards, & Jack London St Park
Shelley & I traveled to Sugarloaf Ridge State Park on Friday, Feb 23, 2018 to spend two nights. On Saturday we visited several Sonoma's Valley of the Moon Wineries. Late in the afternoon on Saturday we went down to old town Sonoma to the area known as La Plaza. There we visited the area where General Vallejo had his first home as well as the barracks for his soldiers. We also visited Mission San Francisco Sonoma which was across the street.
On Sunday we broke camp and headed home. On the way we made a side trip to the Jack London State Park in Glenn Ellen. We hiked down to the ruins of the Wolf House that burned down in 1913, just before Jack London and his wife were about to move in. He died in 1916 at the age of 40 and never got a chance to rebuild.
It was a nice, quick, getaway and Sugarloaf Ridge State Park has a wonderful campground which will are sure to visit again and again.

Wiki:
The California Republic was an unrecognized breakaway state that, for twenty-five days in 1846, militarily controlled the area to the north of the San Francisco Bay in the present-day state of California.[1]
In June 1846, a number of American immigrants in Alta California rebelled against the Mexican department's[notes 1][2] government. The immigrants had not been allowed to buy or rent land and had been threatened with expulsion from California because they had entered without official permission.[3][4] Mexican officials were concerned about a coming war with the United States coupled with the growing influx of Americans into California. The rebellion was soon overtaken by the beginning of the Mexican–American War.
The name California Republic appeared only on the flag the insurgents raised in Sonoma.[5] It indicated their aspiration of forming a republican government for California. The insurgents elected military officers but no civil structure was ever established.[6] The flag featured an image of a California grizzly bear and became known as the Bear Flag and the revolt as the Bear Flag Revolt.
Three weeks later, on July 5, 1846, the Republic's military of 100 to 200 men was subsumed into the California Battalion commanded by U.S. Army Brevet Captain John C. Frémont. The Bear Flag Revolt and whatever remained of the California Republic ceased to exist on July 9 when U.S. Navy Lieutenant Joseph Revere raised the United States flag in front of the Sonoma Barracks and sent a second flag to be raised at Sutter's Fort.[7]
