I'm Mike Cleary with a special Postcard from Sonoma Country for all of you meeting and group tour planners. Booking your next meeting in Sonoma Country make a lot of sense.

You can earn up to $4,000 from their $4,000 Cash Incentive Program. Getting there is easy with daily flights from LAX. Add to that the wide range of accommodations and fascinating venues for meetings, and, frankly, it's a no-brainer.

But let me add something else that makes Sonoma Country the perfect place for your next function. And that's all the things you can do when you're not meeting or convening. Sonoma Country has championship golf courses and world-class spas.

There's kayaking on the Russian River, marvelous hiking, Hot Air Ballooning and even horseback riding on the beach. You can schedule food and wine pairings or plan a winemaker dinner in a wine cave. Sonoma Country: a great place to meet an ideal place to play.

Valley and Vineyards is a region of Sonoma Country. It encompasses communities like Boyes Hot Springs, Glen Ellen, Kenwood and Schellville.

Here you'll find a wide range of wineries, acclaimed restaurants, and terrific places to stay. Three examples are the Fairmont Sonoma Misson Inn and Kenwood Inn and Spa, both on Highway 12 and the Gaige House Inn, an intimate luxury property in Glen Ellen.

All three are well located to visit the nearby wineries, shops and restaurants of Sonoma Valley. To really learn about how the grape goes from vine to wine, take the daily Biodynamic Vineyard Tram Tour between 11:30 and 3:30pm at the Benziger Family Winery.

Sonoma Country has something to offer everyone. How about someone who loves wellness spas, antiques and apple pie, all in a beautiful location. That's easy. Let's take them in order. A wellness spa in a serene setting offering unique treatments is part of the many charms of the Inn at the Willows on River Road in Guerneville. Besides comfortable rooms, the inn also offers camping, an experience they highly recommend. Now for antique fans, visit the Antique Collective on the Gravenstein Highway.
