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 selected wineries are chosen to provide visitors with a general overview of the Sonoma Valley Wine experience. Each of the chosen wineries offer a unique vineyard property and premium vintages. The list includes:

Buena Vista Winery - 2013 The Count's Selection Charbono from Calistoga California
This rare wine, a deep, dark red, in the glass, opens with inviting aromatic notes of blackberry and plumb. Upon the palate, flavors of black cherry, blueberry and dark chocolate are balanced with a touch of leather and an earthy spiciness. This medium plus bodied wine has a textured mouthfeel, big tannins and a long, satisfying finish.
The Count's Selection Charbono hails from the Shypoke Vineyard's old vines (50+ years old) which are situated on the valley floor of Napa County in warm Calistoga. Also known as Bernardo, there are very few vineyards left planted to this unique varietal that was one of many brought back by the Count during his vine collecting expedition to Europe. Our 2013 vintage was picked on October 1st and was 100% barrel-aged for 18 months in seasoned French, Hungarian and American oak barrels.
Sonoma, Wine Country California
Sonoma is a perfect getaway when visiting San Francisco. It's situated 45 miles north of San Francisco. It's said to be as Napa Valley was 20 years ago, and it really feels genuine and picturesque. Make a stop in Sonoma City before entering the vineyards. Sonoma City is a beautiful little town with a historic town plaza.
This is a video from our stay in Sonoma before we headed out in the wine county in 2010.
California Sparkling WInes
Local Northern California Masters of Wine have joined forces with the Napa Valley Wine Academy to highlight local wines, wineries and industry businesses in these difficult times.
Armed with a love of wines from Northern California, willing palates and expertise, Napa locals Mary Margaret McCamic MW, Peter Marks MW, Matthew Deller MW, and other MW colleagues are offering educational video vignettes featuring wines from Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, and more as well as discussions with local businesses about their wine selections.
These short video segments are offered free of charge and are geared toward wine lovers and wine students alike. Masters are donating their time and expertise while also sourcing the wines from local businesses. Their hope is to use the rich history and wine culture of the area raise awareness and support for those in the Northern California area affected by these devastating wildfires.
We encourage those who view the videos to donate to Napa Valley Community Disaster Relief Fund. Other donation options are listed at the bottom of each video should viewers want to help other causes.
