Northern California is home to miles of gorgeous Pacific coastline, over 50 parks with hiking and cycling trails, world-class restaurants, boutique shopping, and of course, majestic vineyards. Sonoma, in particular, offers the rustic charm of down-to-earth locals, farmers, winemakers, tasting rooms, and farm-to-table restaurants, not to mention both luxury resorts and quaint bed & breakfasts, making it the perfect getaway for weekend travel.
