This downtown is as charming as they come. The large plaza is surrounded on all sides by quaint local shops, eateries and tasting rooms. It's a wonderful way to start the day. For the culinarians, be sure to stop at the original Williams Sonoma. Be sure to check out the great vintage photos upstairs.

Santa Rosa has an active downtown area. Lots of local shops, eateries and bars. None is more famous than the original Russian River Brewing Company which often sees lines around the block to enjoy their premium ales.

攜帶物品

Layers is Style in Northern California

The weather here can be amazingly versatile. Hot days give way to surprisingly cool evenings. We highly recommend layers and carrying a light jacket or fleece. Even the finest restaurants here have a California Casual dress code. We provide an iron and small ironing board, but pack to be comfortable. There are so many wonderful hikes and you may get a tour of the vineyards at the wineries. Pack some good hiking shoes that you are not afraid to get dirty if you have the opportunity. You may also want to bring your slippers to be comfortable as you enjoy coffee al fresco on the patio.
