A NASCAR race weekend at Sonoma Raceway is more than just world-class motorsports — it’s the perfect excuse to experience the best of Northern California.

Nestled in the rolling hills of California Wine Country, Sonoma Raceway gives fans the rare opportunity to pair the excitement of NASCAR with award-winning wineries, luxury resorts, iconic sightseeing and easy access to one of the world’s most celebrated destinations: San Francisco.

Located in the heart of Sonoma County, the raceway sits just under an hour from San Francisco and minutes away from hundreds of wineries throughout Sonoma and Napa Valley. Visitors can spend race day immersed in the thunder of stock cars before unwinding with vineyard views, Michelin-star dining and scenic countryside drives.

“Sonoma Raceway offers one of the most unique experiences in all of sports,” said Executive Vice President and General Manager Brian Flynn. “Fans can enjoy the intensity of NASCAR competition while also taking advantage of everything Wine Country and the Bay Area have to offer. It truly becomes a full vacation experience.”

Beyond the Track: A Destination Weekend

Race fans traveling to Sonoma can build an unforgettable itinerary around race weekend, including:

  • Wine tasting at world-renowned vineyards throughout Napa Valley and Sonoma County
  • Exploring the historic Sonoma Plaza and charming downtown boutiques
  • Scenic drives through rolling vineyards and coastal highways
  • Hot air balloon rides, spa retreats and outdoor adventures
  • Day trips to San Francisco landmarks including the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island and Fisherman’s Wharf
  • Coastal escapes to Bodega Bay and the Pacific shoreline

Unlike many traditional sporting venues, Sonoma Raceway places fans in the center of one of the world’s premier travel destinations. Whether visitors are extending their stay for a long weekend or planning a full Wine Country vacation, the area offers experiences for every type of traveler.

The Perfect Blend of Adrenaline and Relaxation

The unique setting of Sonoma Raceway has long made it one of NASCAR’s most scenic and sought-after stops. Fans can camp trackside among the hills, enjoy premium hospitality experiences and then transition seamlessly into Wine Country relaxation once the checkered flag drops.

From luxury accommodations and vineyard tours to nightlife in San Francisco and outdoor recreation throughout Northern California, Sonoma Raceway transforms a race weekend into a bucket-list getaway.
