Sonoma Smile Spring Sweepstakes
Real Wine Country: Daily Winners!
Ready for a quick escape route to paradise? Famed columnist Herb Caen was right when he observed, "I understand heaven is a lot like Sonoma in the spring." If only he knew Sonoma Valley’s landscape of rolling farmlands, ancient vineyards and historic towns offers year-round bliss---no matter the season.



Sonoma Valley is the birthplace of California wine and the most down-to-earth slice of heaven around. From wildflower-strewn hiking trails to lush spas to organic farmer’s markets and artisan restaurants, your options are endless in Real Wine Country. Hike and bike, attend a film or jazz festival, or simply kick back and relax. Sonoma Valley makes an enchanting backdrop for your own special event, whether it’s a romantic wedding, weekend getaway or family reunion.
If Sonoma’s verdant landscape pulses with life, our wines are no different. Each one tells a story and more often than not, you can come right over and shake the hands that craft these tasty narratives in a bottle--at one of 40 premium wineries and tasting rooms in the Valley. Savor Italian varietals at the boutique gem of VJB Cellars & Vineyards, sip renowned chard at the sun-drenched mission-style Landmark Vineyards, discover gold medal-winning cab at Charles Creek Winery’s charming Sonoma Plaza tasting room or tour the thriving biodynamic oasis of Benziger Family Winery.
And be sure to leave time to wander through Sonoma’s historic Plaza, brimming with unique and locally owned shops like the fair-trade gift store Baksheesh.
While you're here, choose from among 80 fabulous lodging options; experience the garden-like setting of El Pueblo Inn or the stately grandeur of the historic MacArthur Place Inn & Spa. Enter to win one of our Daily VIP Wine Tasting Prizes and a chance for our Two Grand Sweepstakes Prizes which include a one-night getaway at one of these beautiful retreats, complete with a cozy winery tour for two, compliments of California Wine Tours.
Just 45 miles north of the Golden Gate and tucked between two ancient mountain ranges, Sonoma Valley occupies a space and time all its own. Explore this unforgettable countryside yourself or let California Wine Tours whisk you to your destinations in style. Real Wine Country does exist and it's more affordable than ever.
