Anderson Valley in Northern California
is well-known for its many fine wineries, so a wine-tasting
tour might be included in your stay. Boonville not only boasts
its own language, Boontling,
but also an array of quaint shops, an art and gift gallery
and several food establishments where you can get everything
from a gourmet meal to ice cream to a bowl of soup and fresh
bread.
Hendy Woods State Park is a great place
to hike or enjoy a picnic lunch among the old-growth redwoods.
The lovely Mendocino coast is just a scenic 40 minute drive
away. We will gladly make dinner reservations for you at one
of the fine restaurants in the area.

but you can find a wide variety of wines from Chardonnays
to Cabernets to Muscat Blancs. You can plan your

HENDY WOODS STATE PARK
The park features two virgin redwood groves;
Big Hendy (80 acres, with a self-guided discovery
trail) and Little Hendy (20 acres.) The
Navarro River runs the length of the park. Located
in the middle of the Anderson Valley wine district,
this 845-acre park is warmer and less foggy than redwood
parks along the coast. The park is well known for
a fallen redwood stump that was home for a man known
locally as the Hendy Woods Hermit.
ANDERSON
VALLEY BREWING COMPANY
Anderson Valley's own Micro-Brewery
outgrew their original home below the Buckhorn
Saloon. In their new facility, they give daily brewery
tours. Anderson Valley beers use only the purest
natural ingredients starting with pristine water
from deep wells on the brewery grounds. The Brewing
Company has a visitors center and features a Disc
Golf course!
 MENDOCINO
This picturesque coastal hamlet has a unique
mix of upscale galleries, down-home craft and music
stores and all types of restaurants. You can even
head north into Fort Bragg and visit the Mendocino
Coast Botanical Gardens or antique stores. Some
of Northern California's most revered culinary establishments
are located here.
