Highlight • Settlement

This town, which in Pomo means “In the valley among the hills”, is a rustic and charming small community with a population of only around 200. There is a nice grocery store here if you need supplies, and is generally open every day except for Sunday. The landscape here is stunning, with its tall redwood trees, ferns, and rolling vineyards, making it a great spot to stop for a short break and take in the scenery.
