Guidebook for Santa Rosa
Food Scene
My absolute favorite bakery in the area (next county over but has stunning views, wine tasting and other great things to do in the area). The bakery is family owned and has been around for about 90 years and has some unique ovens that they bake in. They are most famous for their english muffins, they got extremely popular after Michael Chiarello (of Botega and Food Network star) said it was his hometown favorite on the food network show the best thing I ever ate.

The most famous brewery in town. They have amazing beer and sour selections, they do great tasting flights as well. This place is a beer lover destination and can get very busy. What they do that is really cool, is they will take your phone number down and text you when a table is ready so that you can wander around down town while you wait. They are about a five minute walk from the house.

Iconic coast town. Salt water taffy shops, restaurants, and beaches. Bring a sweater, usually a little chilly. The town of bodega is just before you reach the cost and is where the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock film the birds was filmed. It is a very small town with some shops and has an interesting restaurant called "Casino"
