What's New

The Russian River Valley... And the Rest of Sonoma County

We encourage our guests to take full advantage of the delights that surround us on the Russian River and in the rest of Sonoma County (with the occasional reminder that Sonoma County is slightly larger than the State of Rhode Island). We firmly believe that an ounce of preparation is worth a pound of regret that you missed something you might have enjoyed because you didn't know about it in advance. 

With that in mind, we're including first some links to pages that we believe have a something special to offer followed by a year round calendar of events that our guests have told us they consider special or especially fun.
