Style: With more than 200,000 acres stretching from the rugged Pacific coast to the Mayacamas Mountains, Sonoma county offers a rich and varied landscape. The County is a diverse landscape for grape growing, strongly influenced by maritime variations. Cool nights and warm days contribute to layers of fog that creep into Sonoma’s interior valleys from the Pacific Ocean, moderating the intense California sun.
