Sonoma Insider - March 2011 
Dear Insider,  

 

Spring has sprung! The return of wonderful weather is on the horizon, with the sun powering through in brilliant bursts of light, flowers peeking through the soil, and buds breaking on fruit trees and grapevines. To celebrate, we've got some great activities to put extra spring in your step. Start the day with a delicious, Sonoma-style breakfast (duck confit, anyone?). Then take a tour of one of Sonoma's gorgeous gardens (and see what goodness all the nourishing rain has brought). Next, indulge in a lovely dinner, or escape to a bucolic B&B, with substantial savings scored from our Daily Deal line-up.
