"I firmly believe, from what I have seen, that this is
the chosen spot of all this earth as far as Nature is
concerned."
—Luther Burbank, horticulturist, 1875
Sonoma County is home to picturesque coastal
rolling hills, majestic old-growth redwoods, more
than 30 miles of rugged coastline, historic towns, an
abundance of arts and culture, and a multitude of
farms—from dairy and fiber producing animals to
fruit trees and vineyards. This bounty creates a food
and wine lover’s paradise!
Penngrove lies in the foothills of Sonoma Mountain,
just 9 miles south of Santa Rosa, the largest city in
Sonoma County, and 35 miles north of San
Francisco. A small town of about 4,000 residents,
Penngrove boasts country living with urban amenities
in its backyard. The Luther Burbank Center for the
Performing Arts, the Santa Rosa Symphony, the
Green Music Center at Sonoma State University,
Sonoma County ARTrails, and a multitude of
galleries and museums provide cultural entertainment.
The Russian River and a variety of Federal, State and
local parks provide thousands of acres for hiking,
mountain biking, camping, boating, and other
outdoor activities.
The huge number of opportunities available in
Sonoma County combined with a wonderfully mild
climate creates an environment that can be as fast-paced
or laid back and relaxing as you choose.
