Welcome to Cittaslow Sonoma Valley: the Nation’s First Cittaslow

Preserving Sonoma Valley’s quality of life for future generations

Cittaslow Sonoma Valley is about:

  • Preserving and enhancing the quality of life for all residents of Sonoma Valley.
  • Improving and preserving the environment, supporting healthy food, increasing sustainable energy production, social inclusion, and promoting shared responsibility for our community’s well-being.
  • Supporting local farmers, artisans, and commerce.

Sonoma Valley was designated the first Cittaslow in the USA on November 28, 2009, in Abbiategrasso, Italy. A community-wide celebration took place in Sonoma on January 27, 2010, with Cittaslow International President Gian Luca Marconi, and Director Pier Giorgio Oliveti presenting Cittaslow certification.

Cittaslow Sonoma Valley’s mission is to be a catalyst for sustainable well-being for all.
