Petaluma, nestled at the foot of Sonoma County, is at the gateway to northern California’s wine country. We’ve got it all: some of the best restaurants in the Bay Area, vibrant towns and villages, spectacular Pacific Coast beaches, world-class music and performing arts, art galleries, shopping and antiques galore.  Plus, with over 300 wineries in the county you’re certain to find a new favorite to add to your collection. All of this and much more await you just 30 minutes north of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge.

Named by Travel and Leisure Magazine as one of the “Nation’s Top 10 Getaways Near a Major City”, Petaluma offers much to see and do. Explore the charming downtown with its historic architecture, unique shops, galleries, antique stores, spas, movie theaters, restaurants and bistros. Take a walking tour of Petaluma’s Victorian neighborhoods. Or head outdoors for a round of golf, river kayaking, or mountain hiking or biking, all available nearby.

Petaluma is host to numerous special events throughout the year, including our legendary Butter & Eggs Day Parade, the Antique Fair, Art & Garden Faire, the Petaluma Jazz Festival, and A Taste of Petaluma.

Those of us who live here count ourselves fortunate to live in such a spectacular part of the world – we’d be thrilled to have you come and visit and find out for yourself why Petaluma, Sonoma County and the North Bay hold such a special place in our hearts.
