A sweet outdoor wine bar near Cafe Aquatica, overlooking the Russian River…read more We stopped in recently on a sunny weekend day after hiking Jenner Headlands Preserve. We bought wine and they let us bring over food from Cafe Aquatica (two doors down in the same building), as long as we removed our food trash. Very cool of them! It was quiet at the wine bar when we were there, but I imagine it's livelier when they have live music going on. Their back patio area connects to Cafe Aquatica's, so we enjoyed the music coming from there. Staff were super friendly and kind, telling us about the smaller production, local wines they offer. I enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc while soaking in some sunshine and river views. Friendly dogs on leash are welcomed! Cheers Friends!

Windows were covered with paper so you couldn't see in, but no signage anywhere saying it was closed that we could see. We called the phone # and it seemed to go to a personal voice mail.

Super cool spot for drinks and apps located on the main drag in Guerneville…read more I visited Trillium for their afternoon Happy Hour and sat at the bar. What a cool spot to sit! You get to watch all of the action in the open kitchen from the bar. I loved watching staff shuck fresh oysters and prepare the other tasty dishes here at Trillium. I don't drink, but luckily, Trillium offers a great alcohol menu and a small NA section. The NA Rose I ordered was very tasty. I didn't splurge on any bites, but everything I watched come out of teh kitchen looked fantastic, and the happy hour deals are a steal! The service was great all the way through, and I just had to order a slice of the fresh coconut cake to go. It was creamy and delicious with tons of coconut flavor. Just a side note- this is not a spot for kids. I am glad I visited on my own. Great spot in Guerneville, very popular for HH and worth the visit for sure!

Sonoma Coastal Winery was a fun stop on our girls' wine trip! I had never been before, but my…read morefriends kept talking about a wonderful employee named Jeremy from a previous visit to Banshee winery. Imagine our surprise when we walked into the tasting room and there was Jeremy! The girls were thrilled to see him again. We had a 2:00 PM tasting appointment, and Michael was our host. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. Jeremy had sold my friends a wine trivia game on their last trip, so naturally we brought it along and played while tasting. We actually played wine trivia in the car and at a few other wineries throughout our adventure, which made the trip even more memorable. The wines were delicious, and the winery has a warm, cozy atmosphere. The patio offers beautiful bay views, and even the bathrooms are charmingly decorated with thoughtful touches. One of my favorite finds was their unique champagne flutes. When you pour bubbly into them, the bubbles swirl like a tiny tornado inside the glass. It's a fun novelty and would be a great conversation piece for entertaining guests at home. Between the great wine, welcoming staff, beautiful views, and fun memories with friends, SCV Winery was definitely a highlight of our trip. We would happily visit again!

Best chicken sandwich I've ever had! And I told the staff!…read more My mom and I visited this Café and Market over the Memorial Day weekend for the first time. I'd driven past it numerous times on the way to Bodega Bay, but never stopped in. Parking was a bit challenging as there were lots of cars.. If parking was available, you needed to be careful as to not block the car next to you, or to the side of you. Aside from parking, the staff was warm, inviting, and an absolute pleasure. The restaurant appears to have once been an old home. It has comfortable outdoor and indoor seating as well. My mom and I shared the Kale Cesar Salad and Chicken Sandwich. The salad was perfect and the toasted almond on top were a perfect nutty touch. The sandwich was just perfect. The chicken was a perfectly cooked chicken breast. Juicy, not dry, and perfectly seasoned. The baked cheddar chip on the bottom was a pleasant surprise and the homemade focaccia was sinful. You need to try this place. It will change your life just like the people that are in it.

Live music on Fridays!…read more Met up with some friends for burger night at Shindig. We arrived a little after 6:00 pm and the place was already packed! I queued up to order and was fortunate enough to snag the last burger of the evening. Ended up making friends with other diners who shared their table space until the early arrivals began to clear out. Made me so happy to see such a sweet community space thriving! The food, ambience and musical performances were everything you would hope for at a local wine bar. Definitely a fun way to spend your Friday night in Sea Ranch!

However, if you're not a 23-year-old girl with exposed cleavage, you're not gonna get a drink for about three hours- ha ha! I mean, seriously I've been there several times and it gets real frustrating trying to get a drink as a senior male. There's a nice group of regular young people there that really dig it which is nice. I'm glad they have a hip spot to hang out. However, I do think they should have more servers or at the very least more efficient service. They also have NO items that resemble food so a lot of people bring food in from nearby spots, in fact, this establishment encourages it. (Loss of revenue but most likely their license must be restricted?) I'll walk a block and visit the "FLAT IRON" any day for killer elevated bar food and the great beer offerings and I'll retire my bustier!
