LOCAL WALLY’S GUIDE TO SONOMA

The Ultimate First Timer's Guide to Planning a Wine Tasting Trip to Sonoma... on a budget!

Sonoma is just like Napa... 30 years ago! While Napa Valley has blossomed into the wine and food mecca of the world, nearby Sonoma has stayed humble to its roots. Open roads, fewer tourists, cheaper tastings, it's no wonder that Sonoma has quietly become the secret getaway for wine lovers.

And while there are a number of "big name" wineries such as Domaine Carneros, Chateau St. Jean and St. Francis, there are countless smaller wineries who would love to have you visit. I'll help guide you to the best of the bunch, the ones that give you the most bang for your buck and the best experience.

Hi. I'm Local Wally. I'm not associated with any wine shop or tasting room, I don't sell wine, I'm just a guy who loves Sonoma and wants to share its secrets with you.

NEW! Looking for a driver who can take you around for the day without breaking the bank? Or perhaps you want a tour deep into the hidden wineries of Sonoma or the Russian River area? Reach out to me and I’ll connect you to drivers you can trust to get you there and back safely while elevating your tasting experience.
