Stop in at the The Sonoma Valley Visitors Bureau on the Plaza or at the entrance
to the valley and the friendly staff will give you a sticker to wear which entitles
you to special promotions from participating businesses who display the i love
sonoma valley decal in their window.

and will handle the shipping for you. Wine shipping laws are always undergoing changes so check with the winery staff about direct shipping to your desired destination.
Find many wines on sale in the fall during harvest celebrations and especially during the winter months. Another great reason to visit Sonoma Valley in the winter.
