‘We Invite You To Come See Us’ Tourism CEO Declares
Sonoma County, California, is back open for business and is urging visitors to visit after the Wine Country fires damaged homes, property and businesses here, as well as in Napa Valley and other regions in the northern part of the state.
“We invite you to come see us.” said Tim Zahner, interim CEO of Sonona County Tourism. “Come help us recover from the recent wildfires by allowing us to delight you with world-class hospitality, awe-inspiring views, and sensory experiences unlike any other. It’s what we do best.”
There are currently special deals at inns, resorts, spas, wineries, for culinary experiences and more. For a rundown of these offers, go to www.sonomacounty.com/deals.
Tourism officials recommend travelers focus on Sonoma County’s northern section, home to several wineries and the towns of Healdsburg, Windsor, Cloverdale, and Geyserville. There’s more wine tasting adventures in Alexander, Dry Creek, and Russian River valleys.
There is also more than 50 miles of dramatic Pacific coastline that forms Sonoma County’s western border along famous Highway 1.
“We were here for your romantic weekend, a girlfriend’s getaway, or that camping trip at the beach,” Zahner said. “And Sonoma County is still here.”
Travelers are urged to support Sonoma County wineries, breweries, cheese makers, farmers and local artisans. Buying items that were bottled in, made in, grown in, brewed in or otherwise came from Sonoma County will go a long way toward helping local families recover from the devastating fires.
The tourism board has posted suggestions for several itineraries at: www.sonomacounty.com/activities/trip-itineraries.
Sonoma County is 30 miles north of San Francisco, has more than 425 wineries, 100-plus organic farms, acclaimed restaurants and a thriving arts community.
