Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Jacalyn Beck and John Rakich
We love Mendocino County! Some of our favorite memories are here - beach days with friends, wine tasting adventures, beautiful hikes, and nights under the stars. We can't wait to make more memories with you and hope you'll have some time to explore the surrounding area on your own as well.
Nelson Family Vineyards

Nelson Family Vineyards

550 Nelson Ranch Road, Ukiah, CA 95482

This is where John first professed his love for Jackie so it holds a special place in our hearts. There are also many other vineyards and wine tasting opportunities in the area.

STEEP Organic Coffee and Tea

STEEP Organic Coffee and Tea

13275 U.S. 101, Hopland, CA 95449

When Jackie moved to CA in 2021, she first lived in Hopland. Grab a coffee (and a magic crystal?) at STEEP on your way through town.

Anderson Valley Brewing Co

Anderson Valley Brewing Co

17700 Boonville Rd, Boonville, CA 95415

Take a short 10-min drive in to Boonville to visit Anderson Valley Brewing Company, creator of the ubiquitous Boont Amber Ale amongst many other delicious brews! There are also some local eateries and a cute ice cream shop in town.

Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve

Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve

15825 Orr Springs Road, Ukiah, CA 95482

About an hour from Whispertree, this is Jackie's favorite redwood grove. Truly a magical place.

Point Arena

Point Arena

Point Arena, CA 95468

Drive an hour west to hit the beach and Point Arena Lighthouse.

Healdsburg

Healdsburg

Healdsburg, CA 95448

If you're looking for a more sophisticated afternoon experience, take a stroll around the square in Healdsburg (about an hour drive from our venue - venturing out into Sonoma Co). You'll find art galleries and uniques shops, wine tasting rooms, and delicious restaurants, several with Michelin stars.
