| Saturday: |
Start with the best breakfast in the land at
Howard's
Station, just across the street from the Occidental Hotel.
A full service café with a juice bar, and scrumptious baked
goods, Howard's Station is a perfect way to start your Sonoma County
day.
After
breakfast grab your winery
map and prepare for a leisurely day of winery visits throughout
the Russian River Valley. There are wineries located throughout
the valley, but the greatest concentration is along and around River
Road, approximately 20 minutes northeast of Occidental.
If you are near Korbel Champagne
Cellars around lunch time, their gourmet deli is worth a visit.
In an afternoon, expect to visit four to six wineries at a leisurely
pace.
Just five minutes from the Occidental Hotel is Osmosis
Enzyme Bath and Massage, a wonderful refuge for tranquility
and renewal. Relax blissfully in a warm enzyme bath, followed by
a 30 minute blanket wrap or a superb massage.
After a day of wine tasting and relaxation, nothing is more satisfying
than a Family Style Italian Dinner at Negri's "Original
Occidental" Restaurant. The minestrone soup, ravioli, and apple
fritters are legendary, as are the portion sizes. After dinner,
settle in your Occidental Hotel guest room or get ready for another
night of music and dancing at Negri's, or enjoy the more laid-back
atmosphere at the nearby local cafés.

Head
to the coast.
From Occidental, take a 30 minute drive along Coleman Valley Road,
recently voted "Best Scenic Drive" in Sonoma County by local
residents, to Highway 1 and the Pacific Coast. Once you reach Highway
1, head south along the coastline, taking time to enjoy the many public
beaches and breathtaking vistas.
For lunch, continue south to Bodega Bay for seafood on the
pier at The Tides or Lucas Wharf, or try the award-winning cuisine
at The Duck Club Restaurant at the Bodega Bay Lodge.
After lunch, stroll the unique shops in and around Bodega Bay or
visit Chanslor Ranch
for a horseback ride along the beach (reservations required).
You may also want to take a short drive around the Bay to Bodega
Head for beautiful ocean views. Stay along the coast for
a beautiful sunset, before heading back home refreshed and relaxed
after spending a Perfect Weekend at Negri's Occidental Hotel.
