Head to the back patio (do you see a theme with us???) and play bocce on the court, have a drink at the outside bar, or sit near the wood-fired pizza oven if it's chilly. BEST pizza in town.

Just 4 miles north of us in sleepy little Geyserville sits the best pizza in all northern Sonoma County. Yes, really. Well, only if you like a wood-fired oven, thin crust with groovy toppings pizza and great local wine. Only then.

A cool invention of Pete Segesio, this is an Italian-style salumeria, with fresh salami, salumi, prosciutto, etc. Get a charcuterie tray and enjoy the wine, or grab one of the few menu items. All yummy! Great to grab for a picnic in the Plaza during Tuesday music!

If you want a last stop, B & B is on our side of town, and is a real bar, not foo-foo like bars downtown. Heavily local!

Nature and Ocean Access

Ocean The Sonoma Coast and parts of Marin and Mendocino coasts are a reasonable drive. If you head to Jenner (see Paddling), you can follow the coast north and get to the new Jenner Healdlands Preserve for beautiful views and an amazing walk. Meander a few hours further north and you’ll hit Timber Cove, Elk, then the cutie town on Mendocino. (It only takes 2 hours to come back inland, fyi.) Drive south from Jenner and visit the beach or or hike above spectacular Goat Rock. Keep going south 13 miles to Bodega Bay, and drive up the the Bodega Headlands for a windy walk and whale watching some months of the year. Clam chowder at the chowder shack. Walk on calmer 1.5 mile Doran beach (Sonoma Co. Parks—entry $7/car). Head back by way of Wildflower Bakery for a fougasse (bread) or scone.
Gorgeous view await at this Army Corps of Engineers park. Great for birding, I've seen Osprey in action there. Signs of Wild pigs & mountain lions are sometimes found. Great trails and views!

The Fish hatchery is a fun spot to visit when the trout and salmon are jumping the levels. Lots of baby fish to see, and a nice small museum. Walk the grounds and check out the dam!
