LocaleLoop Routes

A weekend of bubbles for the bride and her friends: a sunrise balloon over the valley, a trolley ride through the wineries of Carneros, and a champagne bar on the Sonoma Plaza.

Paddle the Russian River under the redwoods, then follow it west to the Jenner estuary and the coast: sparkling wine in Guerneville, a night by the water, and surf at Salmon Creek.

Two days to slow down: a mineral-springs spa in Sonoma Valley, a cedar enzyme bath in Freestone, and a farmhouse stay in the redwoods, with a good dinner close by each night.

A food-first stay at Appellation Healdsburg: the farmers' market, bread at Troubadour, a hands-on class with Relish, then the Dry Creek farms at Preston and Trattore, dinner at Folia and a last table at Little Saint.

A night at MacArthur Place, a tasting at Repris, dinner at Dead Letter, the newest table from the Girl & the Fig team, and Layla before a slow garden morning.

Two nights in Healdsburg at Montage and SingleThread Inn: dinners at Hazel Hill and SingleThread, a bike tour, tastings at Jordan, Soda Rock and Chalk Hill, and a helicopter flight with HeliCo.

A team base at Clementine in Santa Rosa: dinners at John Ash & Co. and Belly Left Coast Kitchen, the Original Certified Market, 4th Street Cellars, golf at Bennett Valley and a balloon flight.

From downtown Petaluma to the coast: Hotel Petaluma, a tasting at Taste Petaluma and dinner at Brigitte Bistro, then The Lodge at Bodega Bay, Drakes Sonoma Coast and a whale watching trip.
