Known less for its spas than its extensive list of world famous vineyards, Sonoma County is (perhaps surprisingly), home to a plethora of world-class and much sought-after spa experiences. Considering that the word “spa” itself is an acronym for the Latin Solus Per Aqua, which means literally “healing through water,” it really is no wonder that given the beautiful setting, thermal springs, and proximity to the Russian River, Sonoma County reigns supreme when it comes to the quantity and quality of spa experiences available in the region.
