Whether you're joining us for our first-ever Start TODAY event in Sonoma County, California, home to some of the most prestigious vineyards in the country, or looking to plan your own California getaway, there's so much for you to check out in the region. From hiking the redwoods to wine tastings to our favorite past-time — shopping! One of the events we are most looking forward to is with our very own TODAY contributor: Shop Sonoma County with Jill Martin-Brooks.
But don't worry if you can't make it, we are bringing the Sonoma County shopping experience to you! Martin-Brooks also joined the 3rd hour of TODAY (in Sonoma!) to share some of the most unique crafts and handmade products from small business owners — all found right in wine country. From resealable wine and champagne caps to dark-roasted coffee (that make great Mother's Day gifts, too), you can get your own taste or piece of Sonoma sent right to your home. Plus, a TODAY-branded tote bag to keep everything in. Scroll down to see Martin-Brooks' favorite local Sonoma County small businesses, as well as her top VIP picks.
