Your Guide to Throwing an Epic Bachelorette Party in Sonoma County, California

Your bachelorette party should be as unique to you as your wedding day! That's right, gone are the days of obligatory ‘drink til you pass out’ weekends filled with cheesy games and nights that you’ll never remember...err forget. Today’s brides are embracing celebrations with their closest gal pals (yes, it’s acceptable to not invite every female friend you’ve ever had) and trading in the typical Vegas trip for more laid-back, personal experiences. There’s a wide variety of options when it comes to this new style of celebrating. So, to make it simple for you, we’re sharing our current fave hot spot: Sonoma County, California, and how you can curate the bachelorette party that’s perfect for you and your bride tribe.
