EnglishHow to Get the Sonoma County Visitor Guide, Map, and Event Updates
Updated
You can get the Sonoma County visitor guide and map in digital form directly from sonomacounty.com, check current happenings through the site's Calendar of Events, and stay in touch by subscribing to its E-News. All three are listed as resources on the official Sonoma County Tourism site; the guide is described there as "your best resource for what's new and happening this year." The site does not state whether a printed guide is mailed, so treat the digital guide as the confirmed option.
Digital Visitor Guide & Map
The site lists a Digital Visitor Guide & Map as a standalone resource, and the excerpt describes the Sonoma County Visitor Guide as the best resource for what's new and happening this year. Use it as your first stop when planning: it is positioned as an annual overview rather than a live listing, so pair it with the events calendar for time-sensitive details.
- What it covers: the year's highlights and a map for orientation.
- Best for: first-time visitors building a rough itinerary, or repeat visitors checking what's new.
- Limitation: because it is framed as a yearly resource, confirm specific dates, hours, and availability elsewhere before booking.
Calendar of Events
The Calendar of Events is the site's listing of current happenings. This is the place to check for dated programming rather than the guide. The site also highlights seasonal and themed events — for example, Black Cod Week, described as celebrating the flavors of the Sonoma County coast with creative dishes, exclusive menus, and culinary experiences from participating partners, while supporting the local fishing community.
Practical approach:
- Open the Calendar of Events for your travel dates.
- Cross-check any event you find against the venue or organizer before making plans, since listings can change.
- If a specific event is your reason for visiting, confirm it is running during your stay before booking lodging.
E-News Subscription
The site offers a Subscribe to E-News option. This is the lowest-effort way to receive updates on new happenings, offers, and seasonal events without checking the site repeatedly. The page does not specify frequency or what each issue contains, so subscribe if you want ongoing updates and are comfortable receiving email; otherwise the calendar covers dated information.
Related Planning Resources on the Same Site
While you are gathering guides and updates, the site also lists these tools that support trip planning:
| Resource | What it does |

Which to Use When
- Planning months ahead: start with the Digital Visitor Guide & Map for the year's overview, then subscribe to E-News for changes.
- Planning a specific trip window: go straight to the Calendar of Events and confirm dates with organizers.
- Want a ready-made plan: try LOU for discovery and itinerary help, and check the Tasting Pass if winery, brewery, or distillery visits are on your list.
- Looking for savings: check Travel Deals & Special Offers before booking lodging.
One caution: the site presents these as planning resources, and some links are labeled "View/Purchase" (for example, the Tasting Pass and deals). The page does not publish prices, so check the linked pages for current cost and any login requirements before committing.
