“What an absolutely darling little place! Situated in a veritable paradise - a blossoming community garden, delicious food and coffee and wonderful service! A must stop when in Sonoma”

“Do not pass this place up if you drive through the area! The owner brought us a sample of her salmon chowder while we waited for our food. The chowder is absolutely AMAZING! She shared awesome conversation of how she came about her salmon chowder. Great, family style atmosphere! We can't wait to return!”

“The golf course is beautiful, and dog friendly! We got paired up with some really nice locals, and the workers were extremely nice. We cannot wait to come back!”

“Boho Manor hosted our women's retreat this year and it was fabulous! We loved the moody, luxe vibe of the hotel and the lounge. We did a full venue buyout and it was so wonderful to be able to spread out and enjoy every nook and cranny of this beautiful hotel. Yoga overlooking the Russian River was one of the highlights. We saw a blue heron skimming the water, a mommy ducky swimming with her babies, and the sunrise was magnificent. The food was divine and the staff took such good care of us. We will definitely be back!”

“I had not had such a good pizza in years! I am Italian and can honestly say that their Margherita is as good or better as any I ever had! I waited 28 years for this. We really needed it in West Sonoma county !”

“I have been going to River’s end restaurant for almost two decades and have always loved the experience. This time, I decided to stay a few days at the new Home collection lodging and the getaway was completely remarkable. I will make sure to come back more often in order to unplug and relax completely in this paradisiacal getaway.”

“Glad we found this gem in Bodega Bay! From the first impression to the last the experience was great. Casual yet sophisticated- food was perfectly flavored and you could tell the chef cares! Highly recommend if you are in the area.”

“Staff was super friendly and polite, quiet little burger joint with quality food, the burger was better than in n out the patties are kind of thin. Krinkle cut fries were decent and they serve more than enough! Someone said this was better than sequoia burger and right down the road however I’d rate this burger a 4 compared to the full 5 star sequoia burger in comparison”

“I love this place! Especially the “us vs. them” side by side tastings of new world vs. old world European wines. The recent pop-up dinner with second staff was very well done!”

“Amazing view to eat lunch to! Love the organic, gluten free and dairy free options. Love this place!”

“The best sticky buns ever! The garlic and rosemary bread is so good! Everything is good! Yummy! I love the beautiful garden, too!”

“Every bite was so good! We had the chili, Rueben panini, a salad and the Parmesan pasta salad. Views of the river while we ate made the visit even better. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!”

“Top notch and the perfect setting for a getaway.”

“Agave Mexican Restaurant has the best, most delicious dishes north of Marin. Delicious authentic homemade Mexican dishes. The best Mole sauce with almonds, herbs, chocolates, the best Mole sauce in the United States of America.”

“Jimmy & John are amazing! Cocktails are heaven! Vibe & service beyond stellar! Thank you!!”

“Leo was the best. After driving past TG we finally went in and had a spectacular experience. 5/5 stars – each star for customer care, product quality, atmosphere, speed, and value. I visited Thomas George Estates and was impressed by the beautiful architecture and relaxed atmosphere. The panoramic views of the vineyards made the tasting experience unforgettable. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, offering a great wine tour that highlighted a diverse selection of wines. The wine selection was excellent, with a nice range of varietals to sample. It truly feels like one of the best wineries in Russian River Valley for wine tasting. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a wonderful winery near me.”

“So good! The pulled pork slaps and they had a very tasty, interesting take on potato salad. The man taking our order was friendly, too. Stop by!”

“Had lunch for the first time here today, a delicious one! The menu is huge, so I look forward to trying so many of their authentic dishes. Happy to have them in Healdsburg. -Ali Story”

“We had such a lovely experience day tasting wine with the special food pairings. We will be adding this as necessary stop for our yearly gals vacation.”

“I wish I had pictures. The perfect burrito is all I can say. Been eating here for years and it’s never missed. I literally can’t drive through town without eating here if it’s open.”

“Sean was delightful and educational during our wine tasting. The wines are superb, we loved learning about the terroir from which they are grown, and the different personalities that each winemaker brings to the table. Absolutely worth a visit when in Healdsburg”

“They have MY favorite clam chowder on the bay.”

“My husband and I have decided this is the best bar ever. We met some locals who were gardening out front (literally gardening lol) and they made us want to go in immediately. Speaking of, if anyone knows the gardeners name we cannot remember for the life of us! Which may be due to the very strong drinks and amazing 90s dance pop music. We felt immediately at home, the bartenders were lovely, and we can’t wait to come back.”

“Porter Creek Winery was such a peaceful gem and one of the highlights of our wine country trip. The team (Crystal) went above and beyond to accommodate us, even staying a little late so we could enjoy the experience — and we’re so grateful they did!

The setting was absolutely stunning — quiet, serene, and surrounded by natural beauty. It was the kind of view that makes you want to take a deep breath and stay a while. The wines were just as memorable, especially the Zinfandels — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced.

To top it all off, we were greeted by Poppy, the sweetest dog who made the whole experience even more charming. Between the warm hospitality, the incredible wines, and the peaceful ambiance, it was the perfect way to wind down our day.

Highly recommend Porter Creek for anyone looking for a relaxing, intimate tasting experience with a personal touch.”

“So good! The Lox Toast was excellent and the super seed bread was to die for. I’d love the recipe.”

“Yes the food is beyond amazing, presented beautifully, and the ingredients of dish are explained. You can dine in their sweet terrace, or inside at the bar and watch them create. BUT what puts this into the 10-star category is how genuinely friendly, real, generous, kind, fun and alive the staff and chefs are.”

“Beautiful place to get breakfast or lunch with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. The outdoor seating is in a beautiful garden atmosphere, and the food is always spot-on.”

“They have gluten free sourdough bread!!! It’s not on the menu, but you just have to ask!!And it’s a regular size piece! Not like when you get a tiny piece of GF bread for the same price. They told me they use the same toaster, because it’s a small kitchen, so maybe not ok for people with celiac, but so happy for meeeee.

I came on a busy day, but the staff was so kind and sweet.

They also have homemade pastries in the case, and house made focaccia had just been pulled out of the oven. I couldn’t eat any of it, but it smelled so good. My gluten eating friend got the biscuits and jam and absolutely loved it.

This place is such a gem, so full of heart, and has amazing coffee. They use artisan beans from Black Oak roasters which is up in Ukiah, so anything you order will be delicious. 🙏💕 Cannot recommend enough!”

“Eating out on the patio is really nice during the warmer evenings.”

“Great food and lots of it. It’s all good but my favorite is minestrone. Filled with veggies in a wonderful tomato broth. I always get at least one quart to go to eat throughout the week. Don’t forget the cookies”
