We here at Sip Sip Hooray! love a good deal! Amid all the stories swirling around about how expensive Wine Country visits have become, we decided to challenge ourselves and see if we could buck the trend, and save a few - or more - bucks.

Our first destination was Napa Valley, and ICYMI the episode, check it out here.

Now we’re headed to Sonoma County, one of Travel & Leisure’s Best 50 Places to Travel in 2024.

We did the research so you don’t have to. How about wine tastings for $35 or less, hotels for $200 or less a night, good local eats and fun activities that won’t break the bank? Yes please! We’ve even got several recommendations that are free 😃 You might just have money left over for purchasing some bottles - or cases - of wine.

Sonoma County is big - and encompasses many different geographical areas, so we’re offering our best finds, a taste of what you can discover in this diverse region that stretches from the Pacific Coast eastward to the border with Napa County.

Note: This is our own independent research and recommendations. We are not receiving fees or commissions for the places mentioned in this episode.etails
