Sonoma Tours & Vacations

Sonoma is less than an hour's drive from downtown San Francisco by car. The closest major airport to Sonoma is Charles M. Schulz – Sonoma County Airport.

A coach service is also available from San Francisco to Sonoma, or you can catch a train and connect to a local bus line to reach Sonoma. 

The easiest way to get around Sonoma is by car or with a private tour group.

There is a local bus service but it is not particularly useful for tourists as it does not visit the wineries.

Apart from the coaches in and out of the Sonoma region, there is no public transport. It's difficult to travel around to the wineries and other attractions if you don’t have some form of transport.

Any time is a good time to visit Sonoma. Summer can be warm and occasionally the mornings can be a little foggy, but the weather is perfect for walking and other outdoor pursuits.

Fall brings with it crisp mornings and nights. It's also harvest season so the vineyards are filled with vibrant colors. 

Winter is perfect for snuggling up in front of a fire with a glass of wine, while spring is often wet but the landscape is lush and green with many of the vineyards covered in new growth. 

What to pack will depend on the time of year you visit, but you can't go wrong with clothes you can layer, a jumper or jacket and wet weather gear.

One or two smart casual outfits should be more than enough for dining out unless you're planning on visiting a lot of high-end restaurants or wineries.

There is good cell phone coverage in Sonoma's major tourist areas. If you visit some of the more remote rural areas, you may experience short periods with no signal.
