With the vast number of microclimates and soils, Sonoma County’s winemakers are turning this region into a world-recognized and revered winemaking vicinity.

The Russian River

One of the main Sonoma attractions in Jenner is being at the river's mouth. This is the splendid intersection of the river and coast ecosystems. To explore this beauteous point, consider renting a kayak to paddle around the estuary. During seal pupping season when you head towards the mouth you can see the seals swimming along next to you. The air is always incredibly fresh in Jenner, especially when you walk down by the river.

Armstrong Redwoods State Park

Armstrong Redwoods State Park preserves 805 acres of magnificent Sequoias, more commonly known as the coast redwood. The majestic natural beauty of this area is a living reminder of the ancient redwood forest that once covered much of this area before logging operations began during the 19th century. The park offers onlookers great Sonoma sightseeing, great inspiration and a place for quiet reflection. It is also an ideal locale for picnics, hikes, walks and horseback riding.

Rocky headlands, panoramic views and the theatrical sounds of pounding surf and forested hills combine to create the contained region of Salt Point State Park. Within the 6,000 acres of Salt Point State Park, there are twenty miles of hiking trails, over six miles of rugged coastline, a variety of picnic spots, horseback riding trails, fishing opportunities, and SCUBA diving areas.

Fort Ross State Historic Park

Fort Ross was a southern settlement in the Russian colonization of the North American continent, and was established as an agricultural base to supply Alaska. It was the site of California's first windmills and shipbuilding. Today this is one of the best Sonoma attractions for historic purposes, picnicking, fishing, hiking and scuba diving.

A scenic and appealing rugged peninsula along the Northern California coast, the Bodega Headlands offer majestic views and is an ideal exploration area for those who appreciate more challenging hiking trails.

The Kruse family established a ranch here in 1880, raised sheep, and extensively logged the coastal slopes. One of the annual rites, and fine sights, of spring is a walk amongst the pale pink blossoms of Kruse Rhododendron State Reserve.
