Whether you prefer polite tasting or serious quaffing, Petaluma has a spot to make you feel right at home while you take in the spectacular Sonoma scenery.
Our wineries and port maker feature intimate tasting rooms where guests have an opportunity to chat with the winemaker and learn about the characteristics of the region that produce such complexity. The Petaluma Gap, a wind tunnel-like stretch of Sonoma County, has been getting national recognition for the outstanding pinot noirs, chardonnays and syrahs that this zone produces. One taste and you'll want to have a few bottles shipped back home.
Beer is equally celebrated in Petaluma. Fans of Lagunitas Brewing Company 's IPA make a pilgrimage to Petaluma to drink it and their special release brews at their manufacturing facility. Be sure and take their tour and stay for munchies and music in their TapRoom and Beer Sanctuary.
