Sip on Local Vino at a Sonoma Wine Bar
One of the top reasons visitors pack their bags and head to Sonoma is due in part to its incredible wine scene. Sonoma County is home to hundreds of world-class wineries, several of which are only a short drive away from El Dorado Hotel & Kitchen. While you can go on a self-guided tour of these vineyards, there’s another way to sample their creations. For a relaxing evening out, visit a local Sonoma wine bar.
