Hey Cathlene and Brian,
So happy to serendipitously run into you after ecstatic dance! Here’s a little list I put together for a trip filled with flavor, flair, and a touch of film history.
Sip & Savor – Wine & Bubbles
- Porter-Bass Vineyard and Winery: Embrace your inner tree hugger while sipping biodynamic wines under a majestic walnut tree.

Dining Delights
- Guerneville: Boon Eat + Drink for farm-to-table fare, Betty Spaghetti for a twist on Italian, and Main Street Station for pizza and jazz. Also the nearby Rio Nido Roadhouse is kind of an institution. Guerneville has a thriving LGBTQI+ community and so it’s kind of like this much more colorful and diverse place compared to a lot of the other towns up that way.
- Fort Bragg: Dive into fresh seafood at Silver’s at the Wharf, take a licking in Cowlicks Hand Made Ice Cream, and chill with a brew at North Coast Brewing Company Taproom & Grill.
Spa
- Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary: Take a Zen break in Freestone with a Cedar Enzyme Bath (your skin will feel amazing for weeks afterwards).
- 🌐 Osmosis Spa
- 📞 (707) 823-8231
- 🗺️ Google Maps
- Hitchcock’s “The Birds”: If you detour through Bodega Bay on Highway 1, spot the filming locations along the way . . . or just kind of freal yourselves out thinking “what if the birds really were coming after us?” LOL
Epic Experiences
- Sonoma Canopy Tours: Zip through the redwood canopy in Occidental for an adrenaline rush among the ancient giants.
- 🌐 Sonoma Canopy Tours
- 📞 (888) 494-7868

Happy trails!!!
Have an awesome trip,
Jack
