it’s the home to some wonderful and loads of delicious , like , , and delicious wine tasting at — all in a dog-friendly, organic edible landscaping — a nod to the rich agricultural history that surrounds . i thought i’d share a few of my favorite spots with you — next time you’re headed up north i highly recommend a visit! underwent a pretty tough year from all the northern california rains and flooding, so i’m all for showing them a lot of support! for a full list of all the shops and cafes, visit and check the links below to shop their wares online.

— i think of it as a modern mom & pop general store, and it’s quite possibly my new favorite store for clothing and homewares. i could have run off with most of what they sell here (thank goodness i can find them , too) — Focused on aesthetic sustainability and craftsmanship, features a global to local collection of makers creating home decor, women’s men’s and beautiful children’s wares. stop in and say hi to proprietors Grace and Oliver Estrada and the store namesake, their beautiful furry pup.
— amazing floral designers nichole and kathrin offer up any-occasion floral delivery throughout Sonoma County, and specialize in weddings and events. Their gorgeous offers flower and plant-based gifts, gardening supplies, handmade items from local artists all over sonoma, and locally grown flowers, all informed by the seasons and what makes them swoon while foraging out in the fields — their designs are beautiful, thoughtful and dramatic. be sure and check out that beautiful in person when you stop in (it’s quite instagrammable!) — aka ADELPHA CALIFORNICA is THE CALIFORNIA SISTER BUTTERFLY and A NATIVE TO THE WEST COAST AND just happens to be the store NAMESAKE.
