The scenario:<\/span>\u202fyou\u2019ve booked one of our heavenly Pacific Coast cruises<\/a> <\/span>and notice an extended stay or overnight in San Francisco<\/a><\/span>.\u202fWine country is about an hour\u2019s drive north, so it\u2019s possible to visit. You might wonder which region has better wine, more scenic backdrops for your selfies, and which is more family friendly. And why not explore both in one day?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Though they are close, a mountain sits between the two wine regions, so driving from one to the other isn\u2019t ideal. Whether you have an extended stay or overnight on your itinerary, pick one area and explore \u2013 like a glass of cabernet, time in wine country is meant to be savored.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When it comes to Napa vs. Sonoma wine, it\u2019s a matter of preference. For example, if you love Pinot Noir, Sonoma is your pick.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Size is the most apparent difference in the Sonoma vs Napa debate. Sonoma is twice the size of Napa, which means more of everything \u2013 grapes, vineyards, restaurants and all. More space means uncrowded tasting rooms and eateries. Tastings are more affordable in Sonoma and the restaurants have more of a farm-to-table feel. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSonoma Wine Country\u202f\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n
