Sonoma

The city of Sonoma and its historic plaza anchor the Sonoma Valley region. Sonoma Valley communities are famous for the world-class wines they produce, and the area has played a significant role in the history of California wine.

Sonoma Valley is a popular destination with both primary and second-home buyers, as well as retirees looking for a relaxed, beautiful place to enjoy themselves. Homes in the region range from smaller, historic bungalows within walking distance of Sonoma Plaza to expansive, gated estates -- some with vineyards -- that offer panoramic views of the stunning Wine Country scenery.
