Here’s a great site for you that details the 17 mile stretch of Sonoma County Beaches….from Bodega Head up to Jenner. These beaches are among the most dramatic Northern California beaches.
This resource also includes a list of Sonoma County Pet Friendly Beaches.
Osmosis Spa, my personal favorite in this area, is running mid-winter specials right now. In addition to their enzyme baths, you can also enjoy your massage in a pagoda along the creek….it’s just incredibly relaxing. They also have a zen garden that’s very relaxing to spend time in before or after your treatments. Enjoy….it’s really perfect any time of year!
The Annual Artisan Cheese Festival in Petaluma is happening next weekend….YUM! Can’t wait!
There will be more than a dozen seminars that allow you to “tour” local cheese making regions with the founders of Cowgirl Creamery, Redwood Hill Farms, as well as other top local cheese makers. This is a really fun event, and there will be many wineries in attendance as well.
Well, I finally did it! I learned how to add a video to You Tube, and to our web site! Here is our new video showing this special & unique Bodega Bay Vacation Rental Home. Enjoy this virtual tour of “At The Bay’s Edge”!

The annual Russian River Barrel Tasting is back….over 100 wineries participate in this fun event. One low ticket price allows you entry to all the wineries….for barrel tasting, future purchases, meet the wine makers, and sample current releases.
Check out my previous post on the Russian River Wine Road….it’s one of the greatest secrets of this area up here….there are 140 wineries along this beautiful scenic road!
The San Francisco Chronicle published a great article on Olive Oil Tasting Tours in Sonoma that I thought you would enjoy.
Sonoma County is well known for its California Extra Virgin Olive Oil and olive tapenades. It’s always fun to go olive oil tasting, and now the Sonoma Olive Festival is still in full swing through the end of February.
Here’s a previous post I did on the McEvoy Ranch Tours as well. That was a lot of fun!
Enjoy!
Just saw this….it sounds like fun!

I was just looking at the Madrone Audobon Society’s Sonoma County Calendar for Bird Watching Events.…and they have a lot planned this year! Check out their guided bird tours, lectures, and special events.
Sonoma County is one of the best places for bird watchers of all levels / interests. And “At The Bay’s Edge” is such a perfect fit for Bird Watchers as we have such a wide variety of birds to watch….right outside your window. Here’s a picture from right outside your deck!
