Napa may be one of the most popular destinations for wine-tasting, but if you ask the locals where to go, you’ll often hear about Sonoma. This region to the west of Napa is more laid-back, locally-driven, and offers an unassuming, but award-winning wine-tasting atmosphere. Uniquelylimo also offers exclusive, professional drivers for the Sonoma region during your stay. Check out our list below for our driver’s recommendations of the 10 best wineries in Sonoma.
