There are so many options, each vineyard with a different personality. Some are upscale and fancy, while most are laid back and inviting. Especially in Sonoma you will find many more low-key wineries than in Napa.<\/p>\n<h2>Rent Bicycles<\/h2>\n<p>In Sonoma,most wine tasters either hire a driver or drive themselves. If you drive yourself I suggest you are careful on the size of your tastings and take your time in between each winery to eat a bite and relax. If you hire a driver it will hit your wallet harder, but you won&#8217;t have to worry about tasting and driving.<\/p>\n<p>I suggest taking a car to the wineries further away, but there are plenty near the city center in Sonoma that you can bike to. I rented bikes for an afternoon to\u00a0bike to 4 wineries and loved the feeling of biking through the vineyards. It was a completely new perspective, instead of flying by in a car you were able to look around and stop whenever you wanted to.<\/p>\n<h2>Spoil Yourself with a B&amp;B and Spa<\/h2>\n<p>One of my favorite parts of Sonoma is the cute bed and breakfasts that offer a personal touch for you to spoil yourself at. We stayed at <a href=\"http:\/\/cottageinnandspa.com\/\">Cottage Inn and Spa<\/a>, kicked off the weekend with an incredible massage and spent the rest of the evening in their comfy white robes. We had a full kitchen to prepare our cheese and meals for picnics during the day and a patio to sit out and enjoy the spring air in the evening.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/traveling9to5\/8642351186\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8101\/8642351186_776d76c901_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/traveling9to5\/8642383256\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8390\/8642383256_b13f02e142_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/traveling9to5\/8642413880\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8379\/8642413880_0c726f3e5c_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/traveling9to5\/8642404748\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8396\/8642404748_b31ffd8b7c_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/traveling9to5\/8642392808\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8390\/8642392808_9e1d3a8f53_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/sonoma.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5034\" alt=\"sonoma\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/sonoma.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/sonoma.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/sonoma-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/eaH4UE\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8262\/8642499186_a2d8f240a5_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What city would you recommend for a romantic get-away?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sonoma, California is a city for lovers to escape to.
