While walking downtown Petaluma, my wife and I discovered Sonoma Portworks. The owners and portmakers (Bill and Caryn) are on-site most of the time. They are knowledgeable and delightful to interact with. their prices are great for quality ports and they even have grappa too! Go enjoy yourself!

One of the most serene wetland area in Sonoma county. A bird watchers paradise. So many species call this place home. Up to 6 miles of trails. In rainy winters some trails are closed for the season.

WOW! This is the longest operating cheese company in America, making traditional & original cheeses since 1865. They happily offer free & delicious samples while educating visitors at the same time. Opens daily at 11am with a lovely pond and free picnic area (with any purchase). We were surprised to find many half price cheeses & pastries, with different ones offered daily. Be sure to schedule time to stop in & pick up some delicious goods on your way out to Point Reyes National Seashore; as it's on the same route. You'll be glad you did!

Get their catalog. From the catalog you can see the depth and richness of heirloom seed. The staff is wise to all things heirloom gardening. The store is unique, but once you are on the catalog list, you're in. (and maybe hooked on heirlooms)
