Petaluma Creamery

The Petaluma Creamery crafts three-cheese brands — Spring Hill Jersey Cheese, Petaluma Creamery Cheese, and Petaluma Gold Cheese — and each one highlights different flavors. The creamery also makes one-of-a-kind, long-churned butter and award-winning ice cream from its high quality, in-house cream. 

Grab food while deciding at their creamery store, which offers a variety of coffee drinks, breakfast, sandwiches, barbecue, salads and sides. You can also taste cheeses, and buy cheeses, butters, ice cream, and build your own gift basket! You can buy gift boxes online at springhillcheese.com

B.R. Cohn Winery & Olive Oil Company

In the Sonoma Valley, a visit to B.R. Cohn wouldn’t be complete without a stop in the gourmet shop to taste gourmet olive oils and barrel-aged, hand-crafted vinegars. There's also a limited edition extra virgin olive oil that's delicate and buttery is perfect for baking, roasting fish, or crafting a delicate sauce. 

The distinct taste of a robust and pungent olive oil is perfect for grilled meats, pasta sauces, and hearty soups. All are perfect as a gift or memento from Sonoma County. Do get the curated collections of olive oils and vinegars online at brcohn.com
