Sushi and burgers? Sounds wrong but tastes so right. This is the spot for easy and delicious takeout. Awesome rolls, cheesesteaks and burgers. Ask for the daily special (if they have the fig burger, get it).

Most wineries focus on the wine - I get it. But this place not only pours some fantastic tastings, they also have a wonderful food menu that'll help you enjoy another glass :) Try to make an appointment, otherwise swing on by and they'll likely be able to take great care of you.

Off a side street in the downtown area is this popular beach—for good reason. Easy parking ($7), umbrellas at your service ($5), snacks, ice cream, beer and wine for purchase (just bring a card for everything—no cash). A mellow stretch of river means you can just wade around or sit in an inner tube and take it all in. The ultimate Guerneville scene.

Jenner, where the Russian River meets the Pacific Ocean, is a 30 minute drive away. Check out the harbor seals and their pups at Goat Rock Beach (but leave your pup at home as it's a protected beach) or go for a seaside hike on the Kortum Trail. Bring layers, it can be much colder on the coast!

Take a trip to this coastal town and eat the BEST oysters, fish and chips, and crab cakes in a casual picnic table setting. This town is where the iconic Hitchcock film “The Birds” was filmed, but if you’re not into bird watching, you might spot a whale—Bodega Bay is one of the best whale watching spots on the west coast!

Sightseeing

On your way to Jenner (or if you just want to explore a bit) head to Duncans Mills, a tiny little town with big time charm. Get a sandwich from the general store, have a glass of wine at Sophie's Cellars, and peruse the books at Poet's Corner.
