Today, tourism is still a vital part of the local economy, although most people visiting Monte Rio now are much more interested in all amazing outdoor amenities and local wineries that continue to define Sonoma County and much of the surrounding region. It’s estimated that just over 1,150 people call Monte Rio home, making it just big enough to provide a few shopping and dining options around downtown, and even a local movie theatre that’s housed inside World War ll era Quonset hut.
