A local institution!
Considered the best sushi in all Sonoma County
Two courses, one right against the hotel property. Excellent prices. Sean used to sneak on to the course from his adjacent apartment to get some extra practice. Is it Pebble Beach? No, but is it fun and accessible? Absolutely.
Fun fact, surprisingly the couple has never been here on a date for minigolf. Ask Sean.
For you out of towners, you gotta try this famous establishment while you're here
This got Kailyn through college and after nearly weekly
Sean's favorite burritos anywhere. And if you know Sean, you know that's saying something.
Try the fresh squeezed orange juice! Waffles and Eggs Bene are always great options.
Kailyn's absolute favorite vanilla lattes!
Super close and still in town. Small, intimate venue with a hilltop view. Plus Kailyn was an original wine club member. (See if you can spot her, and her mom, on their website.)
Also very close, just over the hill toward the east. Beautiful drive.
The oldest running winery in California. Take that Napa!
This combines 2 of Kailyn's faves; wine and castles. You may need to set an appointment in advance.
So many varieties and at great prices. Plus free bocce ball pit. Many dates early on were held here. And there are so many other great wineries on the same road, easy to access.
One of our favorites! Best to try the pinot noirs.
Home of the world famous Pliny the Younger. Unfortunately it won't be available at the time of the wedding, but their flagship is Pliny the Elder, a double IPA. We also recommend Blind Pig, Shadow of a Doubt, and any of the sours. It's possible you may have to wait in line to enter, typically no more than 20 minutes, but could be up to 45.
Good place to get some light bites and pair with local brews. Outdoor seating and fire pits.
Taproom with local beers and owned by friends. Prior to this business, it was the location where Kailyn (and bridesmaids) spent many Thursday nights in college.
