The park is in excellent shape right now, with new trails cut in, existing trails hardened, and wildflowers just starting to bloom. The poison oak is out in force bordering the trails, and this time of year, it blends in with the green vegetation, so be careful. I don’t see how you keep your dog out of it. Enough trail variations to get in a decent 2-3 aerobic hike with wonderful vistas. Popular on weekends and deservedly so.

We had lunch, wine and olive oil tasting on a Friday afternoon the view was so lovely in the valley enjoying the olive trees. Truly the best olive oil I've ever had anywhere in the world! The lavash sandwiches they offered were quite amazing too ... dipped in their olive oil! I've always been a fan of their products so coming out to the ranch was a bit of excuse to also do a bit of shopping too! We got olive oil and bath products. I love McEvoy Ranch and next time in Petaluma, we'll be there for sure!

WOW! This is the longest operating cheese company in America, making traditional & original cheeses since 1865. They happily offer free & delicious samples while educating visitors at the same time. Opens daily at 11am with a lovely pond and free picnic area (with any purchase). We were surprised to find many half price cheeses & pastries, with different ones offered daily. Be sure to schedule time to stop in & pick up some delicious goods on your way out to Point Reyes National Seashore; as it's on the same route. You'll be glad you did!

The Azari Estate and Vineyard is a must visit for anybody looking for a unique, specialized experience in California wine country. This family estate is run by the Azari family themselves, is a working vineyard, and fortunately, they allow visitors to join them throughout the year as they create amazing wine. My family and I were able to stay on the property in one of their comfortable villas for several days. Knowing this is a working estate, we were glad to be welcomed as part of their family and felt at home walking the property and sharing meals. Oh! And they have the BEST pizza made to order in their outdoor brick oven! If you are looking for a unique experience that is not found in some run-of-the-mill hotel, this is the place for you. Get away from the hustle and bustle of town and enjoy the rolling hills, endless rows of grapes, and good food and company with the Azaris!

First of all great beer! Second of all great food! Third of all fun tour. Great beer, I recommend that you bring a DD because there is so much to try. Start off with ordering your go to beer then pick up a flight, then another. The food is FANTASTIC and the servers are wonderful. The tour is totally worth it. Our tour guide was fun and you can tell he loves his job. From what I could tell this company is top notch, helping the community and making good products. LOVE Lagunitas.
