Sonoma Valley
California wine country
Sonoma Valley is a wine-producing region in Northern California, north of San Francisco.
One of California's oldest wine regions, it sits between the Sonoma Mountains and the Mayacamas Range.
The valley is known for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Zinfandel, and anchors a broader wine country that rivals neighboring Napa Valley in reputation if not prestige.
