This interactive App will help you plan your perfect trip to Sonoma

“Our destination has an endless number of unique businesses and activities to discover, so we’ve developed this App as the go-to resource for everyone.”

It’s now easier to navigate Sonoma County.

California County, with its 1,768 mile stretch over rolling hills, vast vineyards and lush forests, is full of things to do. Thankfully, an app exists to simplify the planning process.

“We created the Sonoma County App to be as useful and informative for locals as it is to first-time or regular visitors,” Todd O’Leary, the vice president of marketing and communications at Sonoma County Tourism, shared in a statement. “Our destination has an endless number of unique businesses and activities to discover, so we’ve developed this App as the go-to resource for everyone.”

Sonoma County Tourism says the app showcases the best experiences in the county and allows users plan and research trips that are just right for them. The app also allows visitors to make reservations directly from the app. They can access interactive maps and photos as well as rich descriptions and descriptions of all the options around them in real-time.

You can also filter by activity category, such as wine tasting, spas and dining, or select from a variety of location categories, like outdoor, experiences and events.

The November launch of the app was in direct response to consumer demand, according to Sonoma County Tourism.

“A recent survey concluded that visitors seek richer narrative-based travel experiences, with 65 percent stating they prefer travel that tells a story and creates lasting memories. Also, 73 percent of survey respondents indicated they want help coordinating their visit, with 73 percent unsure of what activities to book during their trip,” the team explained. “The new Sonoma County App smartly addresses these issues.”

The best part? The best thing about the app is that it allows you to share your plans with friends so everyone can weigh in on the options. And there’s even a little gamification involved, as the app allows users to work toward “goals” and unlock status badges and rewards along the way.

“Sonoma County App users can play along with friends and family to see who is a Sonoma County Travel Pro along with chances to win some cool experiences and rewards.” Sonoma County Tourism’s director of brand marketing, Frank Filice, added.
