Ninety miles of rugged northern California coastline, thousands of acres of vineyards, 24 state and national parks, sublime cuisine, and some of the most scenic and adrenaline-pumping shoreline drives in the country; it’s easy to see why we’d been planning a road trip to Mendocino County for quite some time.

The Brambles is set apart from the main compound in a ten-acre grove of ancient redwoods, and has a private cottage feel. Yet it was just a couple of minutes away from The Madrones’ well-curated assemblage of venues including wine-tasting rooms and a super-cool shop called Sun & Cricket with everything from coffee table books to grooming products.
That’s in addition to the Bohemian Chemist, an upscale cannabis boutique with antique apothecary shelving imported from Europe and some of the most beautiful product design we’ve ever seen; and Wickson Restaurant, overseen by Alexa Newman and Rodney Workman, both formerly of Chez Panisse.
