Historic Walking Tour

In this one-hour tour, visitors will be led around the grounds of our beautiful resort by local historians George Webber and CW Bayer. Through this interactive tour, visitors will discover the incredible history of Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa, the surrounding area, and the mineral-rich waters than have been drawing visitors to this region for over 100 years. During the tour, Mr. Webber or Mr. Bayer will portray some of the most notable figures in Sonoma’s history: Captain Henry Earnest Boyes, Reverend Thaddeus Leavenworth, and Rudy Lichtenberg.

The Agua Rica Tours begin at 10am every Saturday in our historic lobby. Tickets are $25 for adults, children free and welcomed. Reservations required for non-hotel guests at www.georgewebber.com/aguaricatour. Hotel guests simply meet in the lobby & purchase tickets directly with George or CW.
