Inclusive tourism is rightfully becoming increasingly vital. Travelers with mobility needs are constantly seeking out destinations that offer both natural adventure and ease of access. Sonoma County Tourism is garnering hospitality props for ensuring the world-renowned wine country, rugged coastlines, and ancient redwood forests are accessible to everyone.
I thought you might like to hear more about how Sonoma County is paving the way for barrier-free exploration! Below are just a few highlights of what makes Sonoma County a premier destination for accessible travel:
- Rolling Through the Redwoods: Nature should be for everyone. At Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve, the Pioneer Grove Trail offers wide, flat, and hard-packed routes that are easily navigable for wheelchairs, power chairs, and adapted trikes. It allows travelers to intimately experience the majesty of old-growth giants without the barriers found in many other national and state parks.
- Inclusive Luxury & Dining: The local hospitality industry has leaned into accessibility. World-class resorts like the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa and the Flamingo Resort offer beautiful ADA-compliant rooms with roll-in showers and pool lifts. Furthermore, iconic Wine Country culinary staples, such as The Girl & The Fig, are equipped with spacious, accessible dining layouts. (View our full accessible dining and lodging guide here).
