| Dawn Ranch, Guerneville |
Situated on the banks of the Russian River in Guerneville, the historic Dawn Ranch has played host to vacationers from San Francisco and around the globe since opening in 1905. From its beginnings as a dining hall with tented cabins to taking the title of the first gay destination resort in Sonoma County Wine Country, Dawn Ranch’s towering redwoods have borne witness to it all. Known as a wedding venue until 2019, the property has reopened as a full-service luxury resort for the first time in 3 years.
The 15-acre riverfront resort also features cabins, bungalows, and the restaurant Agriculture Public House. Dawn Ranch’s on-site kitchen garden provides fresh herbs and vegetables to the restaurant, which is open to guests and locals alike. The bar offers an extensive wine list with products from local vineyards, besides local craft beers and specialty cocktails.
Besides wedding and event spaces for up to 300 guests, live music can be enjoyed on the resort’s mai lawn as well as a range of activities including yoga and meditation, sunset wine tastings, creative workshops, and bird watching. Complimentary bicycles, kayaks, and paddle boards are also available.
The Sea Ranch Lodge, Sea Ranch
The iconic 53-acre property, The Sea Ranch Lodge, has opened the doors to its culinary and artisanal offerings after a multi-million-dollar renovation. Distinctive architecture, uninhibited ocean views, bold supergraphics, shared open space, and meditative tranquility — these were the beginnings of The Sea Ranch, a beacon of Modernism on the Northern California coast stretching along 10 miles of the Pacific Coastline, showing an enduring commitment to environmental stewardship and community service. Designed by a small group of Bay Area architects and designers in the early 1960s, the development was envisioned as a progressive, inclusive community, guided by the idealistic principles of good design, economy of space, and harmony with the natural environment.
The Dining Room delivers a rugged refined dining experience complimented by stunning panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and a menu celebrating fresh local harvests. The Bar + Lounge offers a cozy social environment with fireside cocktails and small bites. The Café serves health-conscious breakfast and lunch, and at The General Store, there are treasures crafted by local makers and a selection of literature highlighting the history and culture of The Sea Ranch.
