Autumn in Sonoma, the Prettiest Time of Year

Fall leaves in Sonoma Valley vineyards and all over the city of Sonoma make the area especially beautiful to visit in November.

You can't miss them driving down Highway 12—those red, golden and flaming orange leaves. Rows and rows of them in the vineyards, set against the backdrop of Sonoma mountain, with an occasional white farmhouse.

In the city of Sonoma, the historic city hall and its pond in the Plaza are framed by golden trees. The historic Carnegie Library brick building that houses the Visitors Bureau is accentuated by a camellia bush covered in red. A bright red tree sets on fire an entire neighborhood.

Welcome to autumn in Sonoma, where you might even find clusters of grapes fallen in a public parking lot. Enjoy this Patch photo gallery and please feel free to add your own shots.

Does the City Manager live in Sonoma or Cloverdale? Was she quoted in Cloverdale press supporting aRead More bypass? Have I heard bypass again recently? Does she operate a fire truck investment company-conflict of interest?

He said Simpson receivedRead More only one naysayer call and a host of support so I called her just now and left a message said I had a few questions for her and I was responding to her open door invitation to call her. Lets see what happens...

Its an advomercial not an Op-Ed. LOL. Are you sure they just didn't forget to take it downRead More offline? They actually printed it in two papers hard copy?

What kind of conflicts of interest are present with Nancy Simpson? She is on the County Landmarks,Read More formerly affiliated with Sonoma Valley Visitors Bureau and Wendy Peterson? Are all these agencies and bureaus interlocked some receiving TOT tax revenues, and all standing to benefit from anything Darius Anderson can build?

Is Darius really after a casino in Sonoma either at General Vallejo State Park next to his RamekinsRead More location or up valley at Sonoma Development Center?

Did Darius Anderso agree to buyout The Patch and have the archives and comments removed as part ofRead More this new software update? Afterall "Cows Not Casinos", Measure A Rosewood Hillside hotel, and Measure C Hospital Eminent Domain would be better if the People of Sonoma forgot all about it and let his hotel venture fly easier.

When Bolling "lost" his comments on Sonoma Valley Bank and then the whole archive heRead More blamed a glitch yet they have never been restored. That has benefitted the Hotel Index-Tribune and allowed a cover up of key historical dates and facts. Please hurry and restore the Patch's missing blogs and comments ASAP so that the confidence the Sonoma Patch has attained is not damaged. Thanks

The comments to various articles and blogs are also completely missing. Please restore asap.
