The city of Sonoma, which is located in the heart of one of the nation's premier wine producing regions, draws couples who are planning destination weddings from all over the world.

Sonoma State Historic Park, which is in the center of old town Sonoma, features historic buildings like the Mission San Francisco Solano de Sonoma, one of the city's charming locations where you can take one-of-a-kind engagement and wedding photographs.

Winery weddings are very popular in Sonoma, so if you're considering having your wedding at one, you will want to start the wedding planning process at least a year in advance.

Make sure you check out Sebastiana Vineyards & Winery, a historic wedding venue featuring Tuscan architecture, beautifully maintained lawns, and over 10,000 square feet of event space.

Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards, which was included in the National Geographic Best Trips of 2012 list, offers vine-covered arbor ceremony locations with incredible vineyard views.

Sonoma has several points of interest for you to visit during your free time, including Sonoma TrainTown Railroad, which offers train rides to a miniature town and petting zoo in Lakeview, and the Sebastiana Theatre.

You can also attend one of Sonoma's annual events, such as the Sonoma International Film Festival or the Sonoma Music Festival.
