Coastal kayak weekend + Anderson Valley wine
Headlands and redwoods bachelor — Patterson's Pub for the village beer, Cafe Beaujolais for the dinner that's been there since 1961, MacCallum House for the lodge night. Catch a Canoe & Bicycles Too for the Big River paddle, Van Damme State Park for the Pygmy Forest hike, abalone country if anyone in the group dives. Anderson Valley Brewing forty-five minutes inland for the Boonville detour. Three hours north of San Francisco, no chain hotels.
