There are still parts of California yet to be discovered—and Santa Rosa is one such place: the happening hub for all there is to see, do, eat, drink, hike, bike, and explore in Sonoma County. Take a typical day….Have a quick breakfast at a funky downtown coffee shop. Once you are fueled up, take a bike ride through a vineyard or the redwoods to the coast. Come back downtown to quench your thirst with one of our world-famous local beers, and dine on fresh, Sonoma-grown food or enjoy wine from one of our numerous world-renowned Sonoma County Wineries. Outdoor activities abound in this area – with picturesque wine country and rugged, beautiful beaches just a short drive away. Santa Rosa is a thriving community – with a proximity to the big city-life of San Francisco, while still maintaining a small town feeling. Santa Rosa is truly one of the most desirable places to live in California.
