Best Sonoma Valley Tours in October

The birthplace of California's wine industry features miles of picturesque vineyards, 200-plus wineries, charming tasting rooms, world-class cuisine and striking adobe architecture. Sonoma Valley is located between the Mayacamas and Sonoma mountains and its first vineyards were planted by Franciscan monks in 1825 at Mission San Francisco Solano. American author Jack London owned a ranch in the valley and set his novel "Valley of the Moon" there.
