Nightlife Tour in Sonoma
Sonoma transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around Sonoma State Historic Park and Tasting rooms take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Bartholomew Estate Winery for the kind of night that only locals know about.
Sonoma's large tree-shaded plaza is the largest in California and the site where the Bear Flag Republic was declared in 1846. The town has a more relaxed, down-to-earth feel than Napa, with tasting rooms, restaurants, and shops surrounding the plaza. The Sonoma Mission, the last and northernmost of the 21 California missions, anchors the northeast corner.
