You don't have to tell me twice that Sonoma is worth visiting. Just read my latest post about the town by scrolling down a bit. But now it seems Sonoma is definitely, officially "worth visiting," according to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The private trust has released its list of 12 American cities that offer "an authentic visitor experience" that includes a strong commitment to historic preservation. Judges called Sonoma one of the most historic towns in the West, citing the Blue Wing adobe and the hand-carved wine barrels and redwood tanks at Sebastiani Winery (the largest in the world is pictured here). There's much more to see, of course, around the historic Plaza and nearby at Lachryma Montis, the name given to the Gothic revival home of General Mariano Vallejo, built in 1851. You can read all about the historic town of Sonoma on pages 26-27 and pages 151-152 of my book "Insiders' Guide to California's Wine Country."
