What a lovely day we had doing a sightseeing tour through both the Sonoma Valley and the Napa Valley and all the towns and abundant vineyards and wineries! - about a 100 mile round trip.We started our day by visiting the lovely town of Sonoma and wended our way up the valley through the many vineyards / wineries, all with stunning and interesting homes, cellars and tasting rooms. At Santa Rosa we headed up H101 and exited at beautiful Healdsburg and crossed to the Napa Valley via the Alexander Valley Road. Again the countryside, towns and their vineyards/wineries were amazing. While the wineries are amazing so are the little towns that are scattered throughout - we really enjoyed their interesting characters, unique shops, shopping, art and galleries, and culinary experiences they offered. Everything about these areas is about the finer things in life!
