Sun on the Street: What’s your favorite place in Sonoma?

The Sonoma Valley Sun’s inquiring photographer walks through town and asks people (locals and tourists alike) fun questions about themselves and the Valley!

Question: What is your favorite, most scenic setting in Sonoma Valley? — asked on Sonoma Plaza

My favorite spot is where I am sitting, right here – the Square. We have come five or six times over the last 20 years. I have sat here. My kids have played here. And I love just being in the Square and waiting for the Farmer’s Market to open up.

I love the Square very much. I have very fond memories of the kids playing with the ducks and walking around the pond. Visiting the Mission. I love the quietness of this place and also, I love the Farmer’s Market.

The top of Sonoma Mountain gives you sweeping views of the entire Valley.

Definitely the Plaza. A scenic spot, full of trees and gardens and is filled with great people.

– Alexandria, Sonoma

The Montini Preserve. It is the hills right behind the Square. It has beautiful trails through oak trees and is very quiet and peaceful. You can see a spectacular city view of the town. It’s lovely.
