Sonoma: Play factor

In Napa, there are “events.” In Sonoma, we party. Check out Gundlach Bundschu’s BBQ-cum-indie-band-celebration, the Huichica Music Festival. Or the rising Sonoma Coast AVA’s West of West, a wine-fueled showcase (Aug 3–5). If you’re feeling outdoorsy, zipline redwood groves with Sonoma Canopy Tours. Or pull a dawn patrol surfing at Salmon Creek Beach, then head up to Fisk Mill Cove lookout for a wine and cheese picnic. It’s all here.
