Well­ness Exper­i­ences Are Thriv­ing

“Sonoma County has been a well­ness des­tin­a­tion since long before well­ness was a travel cat­egory of its own. Well­ness seekers have been mak­ing the trek here since the early 1900s. And the Fair­mont Sonoma Mis­sion Inn & Spa may be the most developed expres­sion of that tra­di­tion: nat­ur­ally heated geo­thermal pools, a Roman-style bath­house whose Bathing Ritual moves guests through ancient min­eral waters, fire, ice, and heal­ing aromas, and a 40,000square-foot spa rooted in the region’s botan­ical her­it­age.”
