Sonoma County/Santa Rosa City Guide

Overview Top Picks Dining Events Airport Guide

Just out of the shadow of its larger Bay Area neighbors to the south, Santa Rosa is enjoying its status as a welcoming community with natural indulgences on its side. Located in the epicenter of America's wine country, Santa Rosa makes an ideal base for touring wineries and meeting with vintners. The same conditions that produce award-winning wine also lend themselves to farm-fresh foods available at farmers' markets and orchards. Offering more than just some of the best wine in the nation, Santa Rosa is home to interesting history. For example, famed cartoonist Charles M. Schulz of Peanuts fame was a Santa Rosa resident, and the city has erected a museum dedicated to his work.

Bayleaf
Hospitality? You don't know what hospitality is until you've visited the Bayleaf Restaurant in Napa. The warmth and welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant and the sheer generosity of owner Mounir Fahmy must be experienced to be believed. Fahmy calls the Bayleaf his "gingerbread cottage." With its low, peaked roofline, multi-paned windows and surrounding English country garden, the Bayleaf does resemble a house straight out of a fairy tale. But the illusion of make-believe ends there: inside the restaurant, Mounir, his friendly staff, and their luscious California/Continental cuisine are all deliciously real.
