About Our Local Community - Sonoma County, California
Sonoma County, California
Occupying the Northern Corner of the San Francisco Bay Area, Sonoma County is located
in the heart of California’s original Wine Country. Known for it rich farm land, and as a
“foodie” and gourmand epicenter, Sonoma County is also on the forefront of organic
agricultural practices and green living and business standards.
Sonoma County boasts over 200 award-winning wineries, scenic coastline and beaches,
the mystical Russian River, majestic redwoods, 21 challenging golf courses, more than
40 spas, fascinating museums, shopping, galleries, diverse festivals, farm markets and
a variety of incredible eateries. It is no wonder that we are visited each year by thousands
of people from around the world who flock here to enjoy our bounty with us. When you shop
with us you are invited to sample new and seasonal items directly from Sonoma County's
best producers.
