Hike Sonoma Mountain’s Lower Ridgeline
Tallgrass Ranch and Wildcat Mountain Vineyard
Saturday, March 8, 2025
10 am to 2 pm
Registration HERE
Description: Come join us to walk the ridgeline along the lower reaches of Sonoma Mountain, with views of San Francisco Bay and the Sonoma Valley, meeting at Wildcat Mtn Vineyard, at a time when the wildflowers should be at their best. This walk will take about four hours and cover three to four miles, with approximately 100 feet of elevation gain, and will be hosted by Nancy and Tony Lilly, owners of the property. This hike is a rare opportunity to experience the foot of Sonoma Mountain on private land which has been in the family since 1940.
Logistics: Children are OK, but they should be able to walk the distance (3-4 miles) independently.
Bring your lunch and water.
Directions:
27255 Arnold Drive. Take Hwy 121 (Arnold Drive) south about 5 miles, towards Sears Point. The driveway is the second mailbox on the right after the old cherry tree stand. There is a cattleguard, a gate, and a sign which reads “Wildcat Mtn. Vineyard.” Follow the most traveled driveway up into the hills. After three miles, you will come to a vineyard. Keep driving to the top of the ridge and enter the vineyard through the gate ahead of you.
Heavy rain cancels.
