Santa Rosa

Santa Rosa is the largest city in Sonoma County and sits at the commercial heart of California wine country, and BarFinder's data makes that unmistakable: wineries account for 131 of the city's 221 listed venues, by far the largest category, well ahead of classic bars and breweries. Real local names like Iron Ox Brewing Company and Kivelstadt Vineyard show the county's beer scene has real depth too, not just wine. It's a city where a night out routinely means a Sonoma County tasting room rather than a traditional bar.
