Take A Sneak Peek…

Date Night in Healdsburg


Roof 106 is an elevated cocktail lounge and open-air restaurant. Their adventurous cocktails are crafted with innovation, combining unique spirits, seasonal fruits, flavors, and herbs. The Mugnaini wood-fired oven kindles small plates that spark the palate (and conversations). Outdoor seating amidst trees and fire-pits enhance the buzzing garden perch above the Healdsburg Plaza.

Sailing with a Picnic


Experience and explore the majestic beauty of Bodega Bay on a magical 3-hour cruise. Leaving from the quaint hamlet of Bodega Bay, you’ll set sail from the comfort of a beautifully maintained 33’ sailboat with your captain, Richard Crumley (Coast Guard OPUV). A former park ranger in Bodega Bay, Rich is well versed in the local flora and fauna and loves showing friends the scenic Sonoma Coast line. Expect to see lots of migratory birds, seals and sea lions. During peak migration season, you might even see a whale or two. Refresh your spirit and renew your appreciation for our local, awe-inspiring natural treasures!



Bodega Bay Sailing is a locally-owned green business

2 regular 2025-2026 season club level tickets to the Golden State Warriors plus 2 nights in a Queen suite at the University Club on Nob Hill in San Francisco. The hotel includes a continental breakfast. Dates to be mutually agreed upon.
