The best Italian food in Sonoma or Napa Despite all the new upstarts, it’s still sublime to sit on the terrace surrounded by vineyards at this stunningly beautiful yet unpretentious Italian bistro in Napa that’s favored by locals for its excellent cucina, good wine list and the warmest greeting; it all comes at a fair price.”

Adorable coastal town about an hour away. The sidewalks buzz with activity on sunny weekends. As the coast’s commercial anchor, Point Reyes Station has at least one – and usually just one – of everything: one hardware store, one grocery store, the only bank on the Marin coast, and likewise, the only feed supplier, and the only pharmacy.
The downtown eateries, of which there are several, seem almost a mandatory stop for caravans of bicyclists, motorcyclists and all manner of visitors coming through.

Armstrong Redwoods features a small but attractive old-growth redwood grove. The park is in a canyon just north of the Russian River and the town of Guerneville.
The Russian River is a popular summer resort area. The ultra-liberal town of Guerneville is the biggest in the area and is ideally located between the dreary fog and frigid sea breezes of the coast and the baking heat of the inland valleys. Surrounded by hills covered with second-growth redwoods, the river has several beaches good for swimming.
