Sonoma Walking Tour, Sonoma, California, United States

Since 2004, Sonoma Walking Tour located in Sonoma, California, offered Historic Sonoma Tours bringing to live the fascinating history presented by Historian/Actor George Webber as the famous General Vallejo in what is much more than a regular walking tour. More akin to a Performance Art piece, our walk helps the intellectually adventurous traveller understand and investigate Sonoma on a deeper level.

Sonoma's Historic Town Plaza, an 8 acre natural jewel laid out by General Vallejo in 1835. You will hear the true story of the Bear Flag Revolt of June 14, 1846, the event that makes Sonoma famous in American history.

The Sonoma Cheese Factory.....taste delicious cheeses made by a local family since 1910. Sonoma State Historic Park....the Sonoma Barracks and San Francisco Solano Mission. Entrance fees included. General Vallejo provides a comprehensive, thought-provoking Historical overview of the Mission Era and early Rancho California, complete with fascinating personal anecdotes.

The Blue Wing Inn....Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman, John Charles Fremont, Kit Carson and others stayed in this gold-rush hotel. Grant and Sherman in particular became life-long friends of the General. Hear tales of grizzly bear hunting in the Mayacamas Mountains with these famous Americans!

The Patch....an organic "truck-garden" two blocks from the Plaza, vegetables have been grown here without pesticides continually since 1860. Visit Bear Flag Statue and The Mission Vineyard....planted by the Franciscans in 1825 it is the oldest vineyard north of San Francisco. General Vallejo made wine commercially starting in 1839; he will describe what's happening in the vineyard during your visit. Californian history comes to live with George Webber!
