Petaluma is emerging as a destination for nightlife, festivals, shops of curated bespoke goods and a thriving brew pub scene.
“As the gateway to Sonoma County, we like to say that all roads lead to Petaluma” said Colleen Rustad, communications manager for the Petaluma Visitors Program. “If you draw a bull’s-eye on a Bay Area map, Petaluma is right in the center, easy to get to from San Francisco and Sacramento and an ideal home base for visitors heading west to the coast, north to the redwoods or east to Sonoma Valley.”
The blend of small town charm and urban offerings is giving Petaluma a unique appeal among wine country destinations.
