Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport serves Sonoma County, with direct flights from Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland and Las Vegas via Horizon Air. Nearby international airports include San Francisco, Oakland and Sacramento.
Most visitors opt to rent a car, as the sights of Sonoma County are spread out and often not serviced by mass transit. Highway 101 and 116 runs through the heart of Sonoma Valley, while the ever-spectacular Highway 1 hugs the curves of the Sonoma Coast. Truly off-the-beaten-path, the city of Sonoma has no freeways or major highways running through; the closest is Highway 12 from Napa, Petaluma or Santa Rosa. Highway 116 takes you to Guerneville, on the northern edge of the county. Once in Sonoma, bicycle rental is a pleasant option and makes for a fantastic day trip. Sonoma Valley Cyclery (707 935-3377) rents bikes at approximately $6 per hour.
Mass transit is an option in Sonoma County, although bus service is limited and often infrequent. Sonoma County Transit (www.sctransit.com) connects Sonoma County’s cities and towns, with limited local service in Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Sebastopol, Windsor and Guerneville. Golden Gate Transit (www.goldengatetransit.org) serves Sonoma County’s larger cities of Santa Rosa and Petaluma along Highway 116, with connections to San Francisco, Marin and Contra Costa Counties. Taxis, airporters and car service are also available.
