Carrie & Eloy
Things To Do in Sonoma County
Bodega Bay
Favorite destination of ours for a day at the coast. Check out the Fishetarian Fish Market/Restaurant and Lucas Wharf Restaurant & Bar, two of our first date spots.
Balletto Vineyards
Balletto has a special place in our hearts. We're wine club members here, and Eloy plays baseball in his league in their "field of dreams," a gorgeous baseball field nestled in the middle of the vineyards. There's nothing like a baseball game paired with a bottle of rose in the summer! Stop by for a tasting of their Chardonnays, Pinot Noir, Rose and library wines.
Spring Lake Park
Spring Lake Regional Park in Santa Rosa is one of Sonoma County's most popular parks, featuring trails, boating, a campground, picnic areas, natural history center, and a summer swimming lagoon.
Jackson's Bar and Oven
Our very first date spot!
Bodega Bay Oyster Company
One of our favorite day date spots! Buy a bottle of wine or some beers and try the raw oyster plate as well as their seafood chowder and lemon-garlic baked oysters. The best!
Salt & Stone
Our fancy date night & special occasion place. Great wine list, delicious appetizers and entrees, oysters, plus a gorgeous outdoor patio with a pond and killer brunch menu.
The Barlow
The Barlow is a 12-acre Bay Area outdoor market district in Sebastopol, California featuring local food, wine, beer, spirits and crafts made onsite by Sonoma County artisans. Stroll the industrial-chic, dog-friendly campus and savor the organic edible landscaping — a nod to the rich agricultural history of Sonoma County!
Helen Putnam Regional Park
Where our engagement photos were taken! Helen Putnam Regional Park offers panoramic views and a looped trail system for hikes of varying difficulty. This local favorite hiking destination is also a great place to bring the family; there is a picnic area and playground near the parking lot.
Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park
General Vallejo’s 66,000 acre rancho from 1836-1846. Located just outside of the Adobe District, the adobe is one of Northern California’s oldest preserved buildings.
Lagunitas Brewing Company
Established more than 20 years ago, Petaluma is proud to claim Lagunitas Brewing Company as our own. Take a tour – they are offered almost hourly – and learn about their phenomenal growth and sample some of their iconic brews and special recipes. Stay for killer pub fare in their Taproom with live music most days of the week.
Casa del Mar
One of our favorite authentic Mexican restaurants in Sonoma County.
