Review:
One of the U.S.’s greatest leaders of sustainable tourism is the Sonoma Valley of California. Less than an hour north of San Francisco, the valley is a perfect getaway for visitors looking to experience shopping, hiking, biking, and arts and culture, amidst a backdrop of wineries and vineyards stretching seventeen miles right next to Napa Valley. Sonoma is considered the birthplace of modern Cali and is also known as “wine country.” Most people who think of Sonoma picture urban bohemians, farmers, and lush landscapes. Visitors can also enjoy historic walking tours, botanical gardens, visit the state parks, or take part in a retreat at one of the spas or wellness centers.
