Welcome to Santa Rosa, where everything comes together.  Wine country and farm country, redwood forests and rivers, lakes and ocean.  And in the center, a charming downtown lined with intriguing shops and restaurants that delight casual diners and epicureans alike.  Santa Rosa is the wine country's biggest playground, it has something for everyone.  If you want to explore wine country, Santa Rosa is at the center of it all — there are wineries and activities in all directions: north, south, east and west. Cyclists stay in Santa Rosa — some ride the professional routes that The Amgen Tour of California follow or take in a scenic tour along vineyards and the coast. Just 55 miles north of San Francisco, Santa Rosa is located within easy driving distance of most points in Northern California.
