Hopland, CA – Lodging
Lodging in and immediately around Hopland lodging is extremely limited. Visitors to Hopland might consider staying in Cloverdale (about 15 minutes to the south of Hopland) or in Ukiah - only about 15 minutes north of Hopland (both Cloverdale and Ukiah are easy drives to and from Hopland).

Hopland, CA – Wine Tasting
Tiny Hopland contains a number of tasting rooms which deliver down to earth experiences for visitors - focusing on wines from Mendocino County. Although there are many wineries in Mendocino County including a number of tasting rooms in Hopland, this area does not have the recognition that perhaps Napa and Sonoma County have obtained over the decades. For the consumer, that is not a bad thing. Mendocino County is producing some stellar wines (the … [Read more...]
