Being the largest city along the Northern California coast, Santa Rosa attracts both standard American amenities as well as artisan businesses that make Northern California so unique. Located 55± miles north of San Francisco makes this small city the perfect gateway to Sonoma wine country. The Mediterranean climate that allows for the luxurious indoor-outdoor lifestyle enjoyed by residents and visitors, is also perfect weather for all of the grapes grown in the area. For all these reasons and more, the horticulturist Luther Burbank said of his home, “I firmly believe, from what I have seen, that this is the chosen spot of all this earth as far as Nature is concerned”.
