Father's Day Guide: Sonoma County Edition

Looking for a fun way to celebrate Dad this Father's Day?

Here are a few Sonoma County favorites that make for a memorable weekend.

Hit the Coast

Take Dad on an oceanfront adventure at Sonoma Coast State Park. For a more active outing, the nearby Pomo Canyon Trail offers beautiful coastal views, redwoods, and a rewarding climb. Perfect for dads who'd rather earn their lunch.

Experience a Sonoma County Tradition

The annual Russian River Rodeo Association returns to Duncans Mills June 20-21. Expect bull riding, bronc riding, barrel racing, great food, and plenty of family-friendly Western fun. It's one of Sonoma County's most unique traditions. (That’s where we’ll be).

Fire Up Dad's Appetite

For barbecue lovers, check out The Butcherman in Sonoma, known for smoked meats, brisket, and classic barbecue favorites. If Dad appreciates comfort food with Southern flair, Saucy Mama’s Jook Joint in Guerneville is worth the drive.

Great Mexican Food

You can't go wrong with El Molino Central, a Sonoma County institution serving handmade tortillas, tamales, tacos, and traditional Mexican dishes. For dads who enjoy a craft cocktail alongside their meal, consider El Barrio in Guerneville.

For the Adventurous Dad

If your dad likes a challenge, spend an afternoon at Vertex Climbing Center in Santa Rosa. Whether he's an experienced climber or trying something new, it's a fun way to spend time together and create a few stories along the way.

Whatever you choose, I hope you enjoy some quality time with the fathers and father figures in your life.
