Sonoma Wine Country Real Estate
Like the vineyards of Sonoma Valley, Sonoma wine country real estate is a draw for millions of people across the globe. The breathtaking Sonoma Valley is the original birthplace of the California wine industry, and home to some of the earliest vineyards and wineries in the state. It is nestled between the Mayacamas and Sonoma mountain ranges, and is the closest wine region to San Francisco, which is just 45 minutes north.
Sonoma Valley encompasses 17 miles of unparalleled beauty, which includes 13,000 acres of parkland.
Sonoma wine country real estate is part of the Franciscan Complex, which is a geological term used for a heterogeneous assemblage of rocks found on and near the San Francisco Peninsula. Sonoma Valley is drained by Sonoma Creek, with headwaters rising in Sugarloaf Mountain State Park, and discharge into the San Pablo Bay at the Napa Sonoma Marsh. Main tributaries to Sonoma Creek included Yulupa Creek, Graham Creek, Calabazas Creek, Bear Creek, Schell Creek and Carriger Creek.
In addition to the area's stunning beauty and spectacular vineyards, Sonoma wine country real estate is thriving for its several area attractions. Some of the many points of interest include the Quarryhill Botanic Garden, the Mission San Francisco Solano, Jack London State Historical Park, Sonoma Sate Historic Park, Sonoma Creek, Sonoma Plaza, Train Town, and Depot Park.
Sonoma Plaza is the single largest town square of its kind in the state, as well as a National Historic Landmark, consisting of carefully preserved adobe buildings. The Jack London State Historical Park is an 800-acre park named for author Jack London who lived and wrote at his prized Beauty Ranch, in Glen Ellen.
Those with a passion for wine, golf, cooking, hiking, and history often seek out Sonoma wine country real estate, as the area is always offering something fun and interesting to do. There are over 35 dining choices that range from casual cafes to highly acclaimed chef-owned restaurants. The Valley offers an abundance of produce, artisan breads, cheeses, olive oils, and more. Several chic boutiques and quaint shops comprise the shopping district of Sonoma Valley. The stores feature clothing, home furnishings, kitchenware, jewelry, antique gifts, and more.
