One of California's if not America's premier cheese makers. Go on a Friday to take the tour and learn about cheese curds…fascinating. -Yigit Pura, Top Chef Just Desserts
The cedar enzyme bath is a must try. Like soaking in a tub of very hot fragrant pencil shavings
the headlands offer amazing hiking, and they are just over the bridge - hit up Hill 88 for a good afternoon hike and some amazing views of San Fran; when there is no fog ;-)

Amazing view of the Pacific Ocean overlooking the rocks. It's pretty out of the way and difficult to find. Right of the CA 1. Trailblazer about 300ft before the turn off
The Amy, amazing! Toasty bun, fresh fixings (pickles still taste like cucumbers & the onions crunch). Milkshake was thick not over sugary and fries homemade. Their order system needs help=long wait.
If mother nature will be kind to you and the fog will dissolve this is the best view point on the golden gate and bay area by far!!!
"Beautiful 2.6-mile round-trip trek from the Abbotts Lagoon Trailhead on Pierce Point Road is a flat walk through open fields with cows, deer and a large sand dune area at the lagoon."

Make your very own blend of red wine with 15 diff. cabs & malbec, merlot, petit verdot, &/or cab franc...def. worth the $95/person charge. You create, label, & cork your own bottle! Make reso's early!
It's worth the slightly-off-the-path journey you'll take to visit this charming spot, famous for their reds; don't miss a lovely Merlot. Take advantage of their huge picnic area & music festivals.
Fantastic 4.8 mile hike. Coming back tomorrow! Newts, deer, space! Wonderful
Really beautiful views of the valley and reasonably priced wines. Appointments required, but definitely worth it.
Probably my favorite tour/tasting in the region. Make an advanced reservation - you won't regret it! The Zinfandel was delicious.
Favorite Sonoma county vineyard. Hands down. People are great, wine is outstanding. Lovely guest house for events. A must visit!
This was the favorite winery we visited in Sonoma. The grounds were beautiful with a huge garden of Lavender, a very cool water feature in their garden and best of all the servers at the wine tasting
Pack a picnic so you can enjoy the amazing property. Highly knowledgeable staff. Delicious reserve wine.
Their Cabernets are wonderful and the people are genuine, knowledgeable and downright friendly. Just a wonderful place.
Love this place! The wines are delicious, the grounds are gorgeous, the staff is very friendly and very helpful. Wine prices are pretty decent too.
Only an hour from San Francisco but feels like a world of it's own. Come early for a picnic spot near the creek. Car camping available too.
Beautiful space, amazing food, lots of gluten-free options. Would try to sit outside next time.
Go for combo that includes crab, mussels & shrimps, you won't be upset!
Quick .6m trail to little-visited Mickey’s Beach. Beautiful views, wildflowers, and beach. The shoreline rocks also great for novice climbers to practice. Deets on All Trails.com
Their flavors are always changing, it keeps things interesting. They have strawberry in the summer and salted caramel in the winter.
So far (it's day 1), I've only had the Japanese Purple Yam ice cream, but I loved it. Bonus points for the elegant edition of an edible blossom AND the compostable container and utensils.
Really good ice cream - although the chunks of chocolate in the chocolate chip are too big
Great set up along the river. May such unique places exist forever. Live music every Sunday from 12 to 3pm.
