Order Sonoma County Products – Wine, Olive Oil, Cheese & More

Even when you can’t be in Sonoma County, it’s still possible to enjoy it at home—thanks to the many food and beverage products that have their roots (literally or figuratively) in this lush region.

Maybe you visited Sonoma County recently, traversing forested back roads, exploring tidal pools, hiking rugged trails, or touring wineries in any of the 18 wine-growing regions? Or perhaps you grew up in the Russian River Valley, in Santa Rosa, on a ranch out in the Carneros, or below Sonoma Mountain—and now you reside somewhere else?

Whatever your story is, one thing is clear: Sonoma County keeps popping up in your thoughts. You miss it so much you can … well, you can almost taste it.

Here’s a quick overview of some of the Sonoma County products available online or in your local stores:

Wine

When you discover your favorite must-have vintages while visiting Sonoma County, there are a number of options for packing and shipping wine back home. For details, read Tips on Shipping Wine Home From Sonoma County.

When you’re back home, look for wines from Sonoma County’s more than 425 wineries in your local stores, bars, and restaurants. Plus, many Sonoma County wineries offer wine club memberships, where they will periodically ship you bottles of wine, depending on where you live (because some state laws prohibit shipping wine direct to consumers).

Olive Oil & Vinegar

Think oil and vinegar are just for salad dressings, and it doesn’t matter which ones you use? Think again.

A limited edition extra virgin olive oil that’s delicate and buttery is perfect for baking, roasting fish, or crafting a delicate sauce. One that’s slightly stronger may taste nutty, or like ripe or green fruit, making it ideal for pesto, salads, and roasted vegetables. And the distinct taste of a robust and pungent olive oil is perfect for grilled meats, pasta sauces, and hearty soups. To learn more, read Olive Harvest Season in Sonoma County.

Use traditional balsamic vinegar for a marinade, classic Greek salad, or a reduction sauce, or try one with a natural flavor, like peach, coconut, or fig.

Cheese & Dairy

Fertile soil and a mild climate mean that Sonoma County includes wonderful dairy farmland, with a thriving community of artisan cheese makers, where handcrafting cheese is an art form and a labor of love.

While you’re here, follow the California Cheese Trail map in Sonoma County and visit some of the nearly 30 cheese makers who craft cow, goat, sheep, and even water buffalo cheeses.

Gourmet food, fine wine, and killer chocolate—it’s a natural combination in Sonoma County, where good food and good living go hand in hand.
