More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pull away from the city and the road opens into soft hills lined with vine rows that seem to lean toward the sun. The air changes—warmer, drier, faintly herbal—and the chauffeured vehicle hums through towns like Glen Ellen and Sonoma as the valley’s slopes come into view. Vineyards here feel like working landscapes that invite conversation: the soil, the slope, the variety.
