The Market
For Additional Information:
Our market is comprised of well-educated people who enjoy the finer things in life. Located just an hour away from San Francisco, its residents work, play and shop throughout the San Francisco DMA. As the heart of the Bay Area's Wine Country, residents and tourists are drawn to the area from around the world. The Press Democrat is a respected Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper, owned by the New York Times Company, that reaches this influential market.
The market continues to be a haven for families and retirees. Many are drawn to Sonoma County for its natural beauty, pristine environment and numerous outdoor recreational opportunities. Others seek the educational opportunities offered by highly regarded public and private schools and regional colleges. Industries from biotechnology to manufacturing provide a solid job base. And retirees enjoy the active lifestyle and great weather.
Santa Rosa is the county seat of Sonoma County and home to the County's Administrative Offices as well as a number of regional State and Federal offices.
High-technology manufacturing, retailing and services dominate a center of trade for Northern California, Santa Rosa's economic base.
Sonoma County has become one of the most important wine regions in the world and is highly tourist-oriented.
