As one of the boundaries of the Green Valley, a Sonoma County American Viticultural Area where over 100 wineries take root in the soil, Sebastopol is about 50 miles north of the San Francisco Bay Area and 100 miles west of Sacramento. Locals call this area West County, describing its closer proximity to the coast in relation to the more heavily toured Sonoma Valley to the east. Weary workers from nearby metropolitan areas are lured here by the embrace of the sun, the chill of the fog, and the promise of experiencing the terroir through remarkable food and wine.
Being the foggiest region of Sonoma County, Sebastopol once thrived on apple and plum groves. Today grape vines have taken over with pinot noir ruling and chardonnay, gewürztraminer, and zinfandel close behind.
Start your tasting tour at one of the premier Green Valley wineries, Dutton Estate. The family of this winery started with growing apples in the 1920s. DeLoach Vineyards features the area's mainstays as well as zippy zinfandels with a focus on small batches and biodynamic farming. Miramar Estate also utilizes biodynamic organic farming. For a switch from rich pinots and chardonnays, partake in the crisp, sparkling cuvées and bruts at Iron Horse Vineyards.
There are so many great tasting rooms within a 10-mile radius of our Sebastopol vacation rentals, it might be hard to know where to begin!

Further south on 101 is the community of Petaluma where you'll find Lagunitas Brewing Company and the taproom at Petaluma Hills Brewing Company.
