  Do you love living amongst towering redwoods, rolling hills, and world-class wine but never know where to take guests visiting from out of town? Do you draw a blank when thinking of something to do? Are you stuck in a rut and tired of doing the same handful of things? 
  HowExpert Guide to Sonoma County without the Wine is the casually inspiring guide for you. Written by a 20-year Sonoma State University import from Los Angeles, these tips are practical, evergreen, and type diverse. Most tips highlight locations for trip ideas, while some focus on how best to participate at the location. Intermixed the tips are little asides labeled “Fun Fact” or “Did You Know.” They mostly serve as trivia to use for showing off. Read from start to finish or by relevant chapter. 
  Be warned; in an area covering a land mass larger than the state of Rhode Island, there is sure to be an activity missed or a new activity that has since spawned. As no category is exhaustive, the everchanging nature of an urban area is addressed with multiple reminders to search online for further (and current) information. 
  Looking for ideas on where to take the little ones on the water this summer? Check out the chapter on Sonoma County’s lake, river, and Pacific coastline. New to the area and want to make it to all the holiday festivities? Check out the chapter Haunts and Holly in Sonoma County.
