Santa Rosa, CA – Specialty Farms

by Dave · Leave a Comment

Note: Much of Sonoma County typically is not a good place to grow stone fruits or melons – exception to this are the Crane Melons which need certain micro climates. Any fruit or vegetable that requires a lot of heat will typically not do well in most of Sonoma County – especially West county and near Santa Rosa/Petaluma. Leafy green things you can eat – grow best in the mild growing conditions of this country. Some farms, ranches, and orchards … [Read more...]

Santa Rosa, CA – Farmers Markets

by Dave · Leave a Comment

Numerous farmer's markets are located throughout Sonoma County. Unlike in the southern part of the state where year round farmer's markets are the norm, seasonal farmers markets far outnumber the year round ones up here. Seasonal smaller markets tends to have live music while the year round (often larger markets) do not always use music to liven up your shopping experiences. We have visited all of the farmers' markets in Santa Rosa and Sonoma … [Read more...]

Santa Rosa, CA – Wineries

by Dave · Leave a Comment

Sonoma County, while not the first destination in the state for growing commercial grapes (that being in Los Angeles County), is certainly one of the state's most historical viticultural regions and posseses a heritage that the county does not necessarily promote as much as they should. While not the first wineries founded in the state, two of the oldest ones still in existence are both in Sonoma Valley - Buena Vista (dating from 1857) and the … [Read more...]

Santa Rosa, CA – Golf Courses

by Dave · Leave a Comment

Sonoma County is home to a diversity of golf courses - some 16 are listed here (every golf course in the county); we have personally visited 15 of them. Most are public, but some are private and a number are membership based. The private very prestigious Mayacama Golf Course is located just east of Windsor. Jack Nicholas (who designed the course) teed off on opening day in 2001 to many cheers from the on looking crowds. This private course was … [Read more...]

This is only a partial listing of events. Music, arts, wine and food. Common themes. In addition to the annual events listed below, a number of seasonal events are held in Santa Rosa throughout the year. Looking no further then downtown, the weekly Wednesday night market is held from early June to early September.

Santa Rosa, CA – Hotels

by Dave · Leave a Comment

The following list is only a partial one, but it provides a sampling of the wide range of places to stay in Santa Rosa. While some hotels are spread out around town, there are two main concentrations of hotels, the most being along Santa Rosa Avenue and then others along Cleveland/Hopper Ave. Most of the hotels in Santa Rosa are located fairly close to the 101 freeway.   America's Best Value Inn & Suites is rated 2 stars and is … [Read more...]

Santa Rosa, CA – Restaurants

by Dave · 2 Comments

All are in Santa Rosa unless otherwise specified. Prices are subject to change without notice. Have a suggestion for a Santa Rosa restaurant not yet listed here? Are you a Santa Rosa Restaurant owner who has been in business at least 5 years and would like your … [Read more...]

Santa Rosa, CA – Schools

by Dave · Leave a Comment

Santa Rosa High School (SRHS) is a landmark historic campus in the city of Santa Rosa. It is Santa Rosa's oldest high school by a long shot and is located on Mendocino Avenue right next to the Junior College. Founded in 1874 it has not always been in it's current location. Supported by a strong history in the community, an active Foundation and strong academic programs, Santa Rosa High School is the leading high school in the city. The main … [Read more...]

There are a number of car rental businesses in and around Santa Rosa. Several companies maintain counters at the Sonoma County Airport. Enterprise Car Rental maintains a small office on Cleveland Ave (parallel and just west of the 101 freeway). Either exit College Ave or Exit Steele Lane to reach their location. Good for small to medium sized car rentals. They also operate another rental office on Santa Rosa Avenue (focusing on trucks but also … [Read more...]
