Petaluma has long been a community known for retaining its small town traditions, rich agricultural history and pastoral beauty. Nestled in the rolling hills of Sonoma County, you will encounter a warm and inviting town that is increasingly gaining distinction as a destination for food, entertainment, creativity and industry.
Over the years, great investment has been made in increasing Petaluma’s offerings while preserving its heritage. Sunset Magazine described Petaluma as one of the West's Best Main Streets, "Petaluma’s 150 year-old main street is a mix of old and new, embracing historical architecture with new businesses in town. A century-old historical museum shares the strip with a cutting-edge slow-food restaurant and a 1920s Sonoma County bank that’s now the best seed store in wine country. Bonus—communal sidewalk pianos.”
This civic minded community enjoys celebrating the quality of life unique to Petaluma: charming seasonal offerings like Christmas Tree farms, Pumpkin Patches, the Sonoma-Marin County Fair, Butter & Eggs Day. It also has many art galleries, a highly-regarded local theater company and is only a short drive to the world renowed Green Music Center. Tempting tasting rooms for artisanal offerings and cheeses, wineries and breweries can be found throughout the town. What once was the gateway to the wine country is now THE place to be.
