Flights

There are 3 airports that you can fly into: San Francisco (SFO), Oakland (OAK), and Santa Rosa (STS). San Franciso and Oakland are about a 90 minute drive from the venue, and Santa Rosa is a 15 minute drive. American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, and Southwest all fly to STS but if you prefer to fly a different airline and still want to fly to Santa Rosa, we recommend flying to LAX or Seattle on your chosen airline and then booking a nonstop flight to Santa Rosa on Alaska. Rental cars are available at San Fransisco , Oakland, and Santa Rosa airports.

Our Airbnb Recommendations

Hotels

323 Santa Rosa Avenue Santa Rosa, CA 95404 A 20 minute drive from the farm and less than $200 a night on average. This is a cute boutique hotel best for those just coming in for the weekend.

Our Top Choice

3610 Bohemian Hwy, Occidental, CA 95465 A motor-style lodge situated amongst the Redwoods of Occidental. This is super cute town for super cute people and only a 15 minute drive from the farm.

For the Tree Hugger

3421 Cleveland Ave, Santa Rosa, CA 95403 Newly renovated with a pool and hot tub, this hotel is a 20 minute drive from the venue.

For a Budget Friendly(ish) Option

1101 Gravenstein Hwy S, Sebastopol, CA 95472 It's kind of expensive. It's kind of ugly (which is why we didn't include a photo). It's in Sebastopol.

The Only Hotel in Sebastopol

2777 4th St, Santa Rosa, CA 95405 This is a very big resort, emphasis on resort, with all of the amenities. It's not cheap but if you've got points to spend and you want to splurge this is a good place to do it.

Hilton Honors, Baby

&nbsp;7871 River Rd, Forestville, CA 95436 This is a 5-star hotel 5 minutes away from the farm that specializes in true wine country luxury. If you want to make the absolute most of your trip and pull out all the stops, you might consider staying here for a night or two.

I'm Extremely Rich & Fancy

Travel & Lodging 

We love to visit this winery and tasting room in The Barlow mainly to see our dear friend and winemaker Rosalind Reynolds of Emme Wines (say hi to her at the wedding!) This is a great starting spot for exploring The Barlow, and a perfect place to taste local wines.

Pax Winery 

You will undoubtedly get lost inside of this massive thrift store - don't panic. If we can't afford to go shopping, we still love to come here just to look at all the kooky, funky things.

Antique Society

A great spot in The Barlow for tasting a huge variety of wines from local winemakers. The bartenders are kind and funny and more than happy to show you around, so don't be afraid to ask!

Punchdown Cellars

If I (Morgaine) could eat here everyday, I would. Unfortunately I would die penniless. But If I spent my entire fortune on these barbecued oysters, I would be happy. If you have the time, please go here! In addition to the barbecued oysters, the sandwiches and ice cream are heavenly. Don't forget to buy some beef jerky to take home, or to bring us as a wedding present.

The Marshall Store

What more do we need to say...it's a goat sanctuary. Don't go here if you hate cute things and are allergic to fun.

Goatlandia Farm Animal Sanctuary

A beautiful place to kayak in the Russian River, right at the mouth of the Pacific Ocean and the Jenner Seal Nursery. If you're lucky you'll get up close and personal with some of these stunning creatures!

Watertreks EcoTours Jenner Kayaks

This is the best place to observe the Jenner harbor seal rest place. Walk to the furthest end of the beach where the mouth of the Russian River meets the ocean, and you will see an abundance of adorable seals swimming and sunning their buns.

Goat Rock State Beach - Sonoma Coast State Park

This dive bar and pool hall hosts a rotating pop-up of local chefs. Come for a cheap beer and an amazing meal, leave charmed and satisfied.

Casino Bar & Grill

A beautiful coastal trail that's suitable for all levels. This is a very special place for the two of us, and we know when you visit, you'll understand why.

Kortum trail

The crab sandwiches here are filled to the brim. Don't worry about the line, it moves quick enough! Instead of sitting at the tables, bring your sandwiches up to Bodega Head and look at the ocean while you take your first bite.

Spud Point Crab Company

We both plan on getting ready for the wedding at this spa, and you probably should too. Book far in advance to make sure you get a spot! They are known for their one of a kind cedar enzyme bath, where you're buried up to your neck in fermenting wood. If it sounds weird, that's because it is, but it's also strangely relaxing and amazing for your skin.

Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary

A local cash only spot that's perfect for a burger and cold drink. We love stopping here to fuel up on the way to a wine tasting or hike.

Carr's Drive In

A chill spot to hang out along the Russian River on a sunny day. Check out the entire town of Guerneville for a very charming taste of the redwoods, and Johnson's Beach offers kayak and canoe rentals.

Guerneville River Park

The cutest little spot for breakfast in the adorable town of Occidental.

Howard Station Cafe

The perfect introduction to California's famous redwoods. Easily marked footpaths guide you through this spectacular forest. Don't worry about needing fancy hiking gear, this is a simple day trip that you can take at your own pace.
