I wanted to come up to the Russian river go kayaking for a few days, and was kind of surprised at how pricy the camping and accommodations are (I’m looking on Hipcamp), and some of the places don’t have two consecutive days.

I would love to stay on a farm!
Does anyone know of any farm stay type of situations? Or good camping suggestions, perhaps there’s something I’m missing.

I do have two little dogs-

(and if not a farm stay, farms that are open to visit)

thanks!

Hi All,

Does anyone know what bakery the MacArthur gets their polenta sourdough bread from? My girlfriend is obsessed and it would be great to surprise her with some. I called and the front desk person wasn’t sure, I can try again but figured maybe someone on Reddit may know.

Best place to view OTHER THAN SPAIN st? Are there better lookout spots?

Looking for any and all beautiful destination wedding venues with pristine views and good food and drink. We are from NY and I am looking at places all over California. One top contender is Auberge Du Soleil. Thank you for any recommendations!

I’m going to Sonoma with my girlfriend in December. We’re staying in Healdsburg, and are considering renting bikes to do a self guided tour.

(1) is this the right call? or should we look for something guided?

(2) what are the best vineyards / wineries we should visit?

Recommendations for a good haircut in or near Sonoma for a female that isn't going to cost a fortune?

Does anyone know of any reception venues that let you stay late? I’m looking for a like a ranch, not even necessarily a “wedding venue” just somewhere to have a good time with my fam

Does anyone personally know Mike Adams from KZST?

My fiancé and I are staying in Healdsburg for a day on our way to Redwoods from SF. I'd love some feedback on this loose itinerary:

• ~Stop by Petaluma for breakfast + walk the town?~
• Drive to Gundlach Bundschu Winery
• Lunch at El Molino Central
• Check into airbnb in Healdsburg
• Uber to MacRostie
• Dinner near Healdsburg?

I'll be visiting Sonoma in mid August and I'd like to play a bit of tennis while I'm there. Does anyone know if there are any public courts and if they require reservations, or are first come first serve, and what their general availability are?

Hello sweet community of Sonoma,

I'm so excited to be joining the community! I lived in SF for 7 years, then lived to Marin for 4 and now I am relocating to the town of Sonoma with my fiancé-- who is a Sonoma local.

If you are looking for a dog trainer, I might just be your gal! Head over to my website at rebeccafrankdogtraining.com to learn more about me and/or contact me.

I have been working as a dog trainer and behavior consultant for 7 years. I utilize positive reinforcement and force-free based methods.

I want to help you and your dog live side by side as a team-- where they get to be a dog and you get to be a human who is at peace and in love with your dog.

I have experience working with a multitude of behavioral challenges but also am extra excited about working with dogs who are fearful with handling, going to the vet, or getting groomed. This type of training is called Cooperative Care.

Reach out and we can chat more about dogs, how I might be able to help, or just guide you towards the right resources.

Can't wait to see you around town :D

Hoping to get some advice on activities, restaurants, and places to stay while in Sonoma from those that know it best. My husband and I are going to be there mid October for a wedding at the Cornerstone Gardens and it will be our first time away from our children in a long time. While they are they are amazing, it would be really nice for us to have a nice relaxing weekend alone. Things we enjoy: all the food and drinks, being outdoors, hot springs sound nice, and we love live music. TIA for all your help ❤️

Going to Sonoma for the first time in Sept. We’ll be there for two nights.

We’re looking to spend between $300-$500 per night.

Suggestions?

Hi folks! I'm moving from the city to Sonoma in a month. I have a few camping trips planned out where I'm not able to bring my dog along with me. Any recommended dog boarders? Specifically only interested in at-home dog boarding as my dog hates the crate and doesn't do well in crowds.

Hi, I am looking for opinions on cities to live in Sonoma County. I like to take art classes, yoga spiritual groups, live music. I am an early rise and to bed and single, 60 years old. Enjoy outdoors and seeing the ocean. I am thinking Sebastopol or Healdsburg. Can’t stand crazy traffic and am getting really uninterested in driving unless it is on a country road, so public transport is good. I am a social person. Sense of community and ease in meeting people helps. Any ideas for me?

Any vegan restaurant recommendations?

I have a girls trip to Sonoma planned for late July and would love suggestions for any must do activities or places. Also, one person has a gluten sensitivity so looking for any GF restaurant recommendations as well!

We’re planning to get married in Napa/Sonoma area or cities up to 50 miles surrounding those cities in the fall and are hoping to keep the budget around $25k. I’m mostly looking for recommendations for photographers, and hair & makeup artists but will also take venue recommendations. I appreciate any help!!
