You step out onto the broad flagstone of Sonoma Plaza and the town opens like a riddle: mission walls, live oaks angling for sun, and storefronts that dare you to look closer. The remote host messages through your phone and the first clue tumbles in—you're off, weaving through alleyways, tasting-room patios and quieter residential streets that hold small public art and local history.
