Sonoma's main county park is a practical family picnic stop a few minutes west of the Plaza, with a big accessible playground, flush-toilet restrooms and flat, shaded trails along Sonoma Creek. It's the wrong place for a wine picnic, though: alcohol is allowed only inside the reserved Maxwell Glen group area with a permit.

The quiet, shaded picnic grove at General Vallejo's Victorian-era estate is a peaceful escape a short walk or bike ride from the Plaza, paired with a $3 look inside the furnished house. It is strictly a food-only picnic: State Parks prohibits alcohol throughout Sonoma State Historic Park, so save the wine for the Plaza.
