You may also enjoy walking to the historic Sonoma Square
and visiting the Mission San Francisco Solano de Sonoma,
which was the last of California's 21 Missions,and is the
oldest structure in Sonoma, dating back to 1823. 
General Vallejo's Home, La Casa Grande, is another fun
and historical Sonoma landmark that is open to the public.
General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, who was the commandant
who held controlling influence in the Sonoma area when Mexico
owned California, originally surveyed the Sonoma Plaza in
1835. He built the barracks for his troops in 1836, and
they have been restored and dedicated as a State Historical
Landmark.
The
Sonoma Plaza itself is an eight acre public park with picnic
tables, playgrounds and lots of lovely and quiet areas for
picnics and fun. Walk across the street in any direction
and you will find a varitey of lovely shops and restaurants.
If you visit the Plaza on a Tuesday evening in the warmer
months of the year, you can shop at the town's farmer's
market, where many local residents come to buy organic produce,
socialize and listen to music.
Another great destination for children is Sonoma's Train
Town, which is right down Broadway from the Square (but
driving there is recommended).
If you are interested in cooking, Sonoma has its own cooking
school, Ramekins, which is located onWest Spain Street.
It features wonderful and renowned instructor chefs and
a wide variety of classes. To learn more, visit www.ramekins.com.
