Wine Country

By Bryan in Entertainment
After Napa, Sonoma is the most popular place to visit for wine country. The atmosphere here is more laid back than Napa. Many of the wineries are more casual and the town is less expensive. You can take a walking tour around the scenic town itself, which centers on a town square. Various hotels are available, but many are still somewhat high end and pricey. There are several chain hotels in the area which might be cheaper (Best Western, etc). Many of the wineries will let you just walk in and do some tastings, usual for a small price. Often a tour is included with the tastings. If the weather is nice, the scenery can be terrific for photos and wandering through the vineyards.
