It wouldn’t be right to call Sonoma County the land of milk and honey, because it’s the land of so much more. Milk and honey figure in, but so do wine, olive oil, cheese, bread, beer, spirits, preserves, oysters and all manner of produce, especially the region’s esteemed Gravenstein apples.
Encompassing 1,500 square miles and more than 50 miles of coastline, Sonoma County stretches from the Napa Valley to the powerful Pacific Ocean.
Diversity abounds here in food, wine, climate and geography. Nearly half a million people live and work in the region, many in the wine industry, but many not.
