WINE TASTING:
Everywhere. Near the venue, far from the venue. Basically everywhere in Sonoma County. Favorites: Coppola Winery up in Geyserville (not super close to be honest). Williamson Wines in Healdsburg (again, not close!). We are right next to Napa County and both of our counties are well known for our wine so you are likely to find good vino at all of our places!!
The Sonoma Coast
While most of us are from California, our lovely North Coast beaches are a bit different!! Take a jaunt out to Bodega and see some familiar sights from a lil movie called "The Birds". Theres a lil schoolhouse and church you might recognize. Continue on out to Bodega Bay for some clam chowder, park on the bluff known as Bodega Head and maybe spot a Humpback Whale spouting or diving and sticking its tail out of the water.
Our rocky coastlines are quite beautiful and there are a lot of trails along the cliffs and some yummy cafes to eat at.
Sonoma Regional Parks - Sugarloaf
Directly across the street from the venue (and maybe up the road a little bit) is Adobe Canyon Rd which leads up to Sugarloaf State Park with some soaring Redwood Trees and hiking trails and there is a gorgeous waterfall that tumbles into a wide pool of water. A beautiful area to get out and wander about in!
California State Parks - Armstrong Redwoods
Take a lil long jaunt out along a windy road towards the coast but then turn off into a town called Guerneville. A quirky lil hippie town (it is definitely fun and unique but also a lil full of our local homeless populations at times too!) Nestled up the road from town is the entrance to Armstrong Redwoods State Park.
A walk through the gates may lead you to think you've been plopped onto the Forest Moon of Endor for my Star Wars Fans. HUGE Redwood Trees surround you, a soft padded walkway under your feet, an easy walking path through the middle and miles of trails around if you felt the desire. It really it is a beautiful spot!!
