Sonoma, California
Sonoma has become just as synonymous with wine as Napa Valley. But it’s managed to get the reputation as a more laid-back vibe without losing what the area is actually well-known for: a never-ending valley of vineyards!
You can grab a room at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa for relaxing spa and golf access.
Or, if you want something a bit more luxurious and short-term in this West Coast area, book a rental through AvantStay, where you’ll get top-notch amenities like a vast outdoor space, a Jacuzzi, pool, and a BBQ area.
But when you’re done relaxing, and you want to explore a bit, grab your camera and spend your day visiting Sonoma’s famous art galleries and enjoying colonial-era architecture. Plus, don’t forget why you’re here and dive into the wonders of wine country.
You can book a couple of tastings at local vineyards or make or drive through the area, linking the wine towns of Glen Ellen, Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa, Cotati, and Petaluma.
Although Leavenworth, WA is just a charming as described, it is hardly on the coast! It is in the Cascade Mountains at a location 77 miles from the coast.
