A list of events we are most excited for to ring in the New Year!
January 1-4 - Holiday Cheer on the Coast!
Come to Bodega Bay to participate in holiday cheer! To begin, pick up a holiday cheer passbook and map at the Sonoma Coast Visitor Center. Then, visit participating merchants to get your passbook stamped. No purchase is necessary, but feel free to check out any specials and discounts. If it is after a location's business hours, simply snap a photo with your phone! After completing your visits, drop off the passbook at the Visitor Center. The passbooks with the most visits will be entered into a drawing, and the last day to do so is Jan. 4!
January 4 - Cloverdale Wine Walk
The first Saturday of each month, from October through May, features local businesses pairing with very local wineries. Guests enjoy lunch, which is included with the price of your ticket. There are also tickets at a lower cost ($20) for designated drivers. Your designated driver can still enjoy lunch and the stroll through downtown. Many businesses also feature baked specialties, other foods and music. Join us!
January 18-19 - Winter Wineland
Join us for two glorious days along the Wine Road for our 32nd Annual Winter Wineland. The perfect winter escape to taste current vintages of multiple varietals grown in Sonoma County and experience the beauty of winter in Wine Country.
