April is Sonoma County Wine Month! Produced by Sonoma County Vintners (SCV), wine lovers are invited to enjoy in-person and virtual winery experiences, as well as special wine promotions, throughout the month. See the offerings from participating wineries at sonomawine.com/winemonth.

Enjoy wine and food pairings while taking in sweeping views of the vineyards and mountains. Learn about wine directly from winemakers in exclusive private tastings or wine blending sessions. Bring your friends and challenge them to a game of croquet, bocce or cornhole or simply relax while sipping your new favorite wine and listening to live music. Focus on wellness, sustainability or culture during vineyard hikes, yoga sessions, art tours or concerts, all with the perfect wine tastings to complement the activity.

All it takes is a little planning to create the perfect Sonoma County wine country getaway. The Sonoma County Tourism app is a great resource to help with finding accommodations or discovering a new restaurant during your stay. Download the Sonoma County Road Trip Vibes playlist to get in the Wine Country state of mind during your journey. Sonoma County has always been a quick drive along Highway 101 for many but getting there has become even easier in recent years with the addition of direct flights to Sonoma County Airport (STS) from major cities and its proximity to Sonoma County wineries. Taking wines back home is easy with Alaska Airlines’ Wines Fly Free program.

For those who can’t make it to Sonoma County to celebrate Wine Month, there are many options to participate at home. Virtual wine tastings and even a food and wine scavenger hunt can be booked online. New wine releases and “wine for good” offers with proceeds benefiting nonprofits are also available on participating winery websites and available for shipping to most states.
