Fire, Wine, and Tourism Intersect Here

Podcast Number 408

SHOW NOTES

Anyone who loves California wine country was on the edge of their seats lately as the Kincaid fire raced across the countryside threatening communities, homes, and vineyards. Lorene, our co-host, was in the middle of the action, evacuating her home and then giving her time to help others who were displaced. Lorene gives us a behind the scenes look at what she experienced as this fire threatened beautiful Sonoma County.

All was not lost however and Sonoma County is open for business. Lorene encourages you to book your clients for some great experiences in the wine country. And, to help you, Sonoma County is offering a website, an app, and excellent training to make you a Sonoma County expert. You can earn incentives starting in December by completing the training. Check out the link below.
