Sonoma Valley was a center of early California viticulture with mission-era plantings and 19th-century ranchos; modern boutique winemaking expanded in the 20th century.
Conservation
Many Sonoma producers emphasize sustainable and organic practices; minimize impact by staying on paths, not sampling in vineyard rows, and recycling bottles where permitted.
