We prefer to visit small and/or family owned vineyards to experience wines unavailable at home. Our wine consultant, Allie, was very knowledgeable about the wines produced by this small winery. She was very friendly and attentive. She did a good job of cross-promoting the sister winery, VJB, which led us to an great unexpected stop.

What a GEM! Jack London is California’s first native born novelist and this State Park is a chance to walk in his footsteps and appreciate his creativity and uniqueness. From the self-guided walking tours of Wolf House, the Beauty Ranch, and his cottage to the more extensive hikes up to London and Fern Lakes, is truly a walk back into the early 1900s. Unfortunately due to Covid the museum house was closed, and a return trip when it’s open is a must. I never tire of this State Park and the history it contains. Always include a picnic lunch to enjoy on property.
3. Glen Ellen Village Market

Finding this in the center of quaint and tiny Glen Ellen (700 people village) was a total treat. Everything you need from high end seafood and meats, to wine, charcuterie and daily groceries is here. We rented a house in Glen Ellen and the market was a five minute walk in the center of the village. Pack a picnic for the vineyards or grab the fixings for a feast at the house, you can get it all done at the Village Market.

Fantastic local park providing a range of trails for any level. Fully paved or slightly more off the beaten path this park is a great place to truly enjoy the natural beauty of Sonoma. Also for those with dogs the fenced in off-leash dog park is a must.

Lots of paths to cover with different plants around each corner. Well labeled plants which is helpful. History of roses in the parking area was interesting too.
