A look back at Sonoma County Christmas past

Travel down memory lane as we take a glimpse at local Christmases throughout the years.|

It’s Christmas time in Wine Country, and Sonoma County residents know how to do it with flare.

Our Santa Claus rides in on tractor or boat. Our kids play tag among the vines after opening presents under the tree. Our scenery is frequently brown and soggy instead of snowy and white. And parents finish the day off with a great local and seasonal meal and a nice glass of Russian River Pinot Noir.

Take a trip with us down memory lane as we take a glimpse at Christmases past. Although, customs may change, no matter what era the holidays continue to bring Sonoma County families together on Christmas.
