Having fun in and around Cloverdale

• Bicycling in the wine country. Cloverdale has three great loops through wine country.

• Hot Air Ballooning. The skies above Sonoma County are often speckled with hot-air balloons of every size, color, and design. The wide, flat valley with its moderate and (somewhat) predictable winds makes hot-air ballooning a favorite activity in the area.

• Lake Sonoma. Located in the beautiful coastal foothills of Northern California is Lake Sonoma. Lake Sonoma is surrounded by Sonoma County vineyards and land rich in history. This provides the perfect setting for a wealth of recreation activities.
