Sonoma County's wonderful climate makes it a great place to enjoy some hot-weather fun. Cool off in style at one of the beautiful swimming pools at these Sonoma County resorts.

You can choose pools that are family-friendly, romantic, or designed for a workout. Most offer poolside dining service and drinks, and some offer other amenities.
