Petaluma, California

Petaluma – where historic charm meets urban sophistication. Nestled on the river between rolling farmlands and the rugged Sonoma Coast, Petaluma is a picturesque wine-country destination marked by pastoral beauty and historic architectural marvels. Discover landmarks – iron front buildings, brick-walled alleys, and restored Victorians – that reflect the history and events that shaped one of California’s oldest cities. Today, these buildings are home to award-winning restaurants, stylish boutiques, antique stores, and one-of-a-kind specialty shops. The city’s thriving creative community means Petaluma is a maker’s paradise, chock full of locally curated goods. Artisan cheese, organically grown produce and farm-fresh eggs give Petaluma its well-earned reputation as an area of delicious abundance. Farm-to-table dining is an integral part of the culinary landscape, and the premium grapes that are produced here have earned the Petaluma GAP a designation as an American Viticultural Area for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah.
