Here's where to stay and what to eat, drink, and do while you're in Guerneville.Ĭrista Luedtke's modern German restaurant Brot brings hearty classics-burgers, wursts, cured meats, spatzle, and schnitzel- plus plenty of veggies to the table.

Spring, aka whale and abalone season on the coast nearby, is a wonderful time to visit you can also plan for wine tasting during Passport to Dry Creek Valley (April 29-30, 2023). Now, more than ever, Guerneville has it all. In past 15 years, the place has become a draw for SF foodies and hipsters thanks to chef/hotelier Crista Luedtke, a pivotal character in town thanks to her growing mini-empire of stellar places to spend time, including her original venture here, Boon Hotel + Spa. The hippies landed here in the 1970s, followed by the LGBTQ+ community who made it a party spot in the '80s.

A logging town in the 1800s, Guerneville became a destination In the 1950s for well-to-do city folk who came to summer by the river. Its unique vibe stems from a mix of cultures. Just two hours from San Francisco, Guerneville is a favorite destination in the region since it's accessible enough for a quick getaway but also feels far from it all. Sonoma County's Russian River Valley is multifaceted in its charm: a blend of Wine Country luxury, rural rusticity, campout party, and bohemian vibes all bundled into riverside enclaves and small towns bordering hillside vineyards.
