Mendocino Magic: 72 Hours of Northern California Adventure
For those of you that have experienced Mendocino, you know that it is the gem of California's north coast.
Wild, rugged coastlines meet exquisite foods and wines. On top of that, throw in loads of outdoor adventures and you've got a recipe that should put it at the top of any travel bucket list. Here's how four friends spent their 72 hours on the coast.
Inland, Mendocino County is known for its towering redwood forests. These ancient giants reach towards the sky, their massive trunks and lush green canopies creating a sense of awe and wonder. Walking amongst the redwoods is a humbling experience, as one realizes the immense power and beauty of nature.
Day 1
We arrived about 30 minutes before our first stop opened for lunch. So to kill some time, we walked down a few blocks and got some coffees to really start our trip off right. Black Oak is a coffee roastery located in Ukiah, CA. A large and spacious café with loads of seating inside and out. They roast their own coffee in house. Which is of course, proper. Their roasting area is put on display through a viewing window where guests can see their big ol' Probat roaster in action.
The baristas are excellent. Quick and friendly service with really tasty drinks!
12pm // Lunch at Oco Time
At noon, our little Japanese restaurant opened for lunch, so we made our way back over for some grub!
We received a warm welcome and were able to put in our orders right away. We were hungry! The Veggie Tempura and Okonomyaki plates are to die for!
If you've never tried it before, Okonomyaki is a specialty plate from the owner's home town of Hiroshima. There are tons of different options available, so there should be something in there for everybody!
Rivino is located in the perfect spot, not five minutes from downtown Ukiah. We were greeted with a warm welcome from the staff, and eventually the owner (Jason) came out and we got to hang out with him for a while!
He introduced us to his award-winning wines (delicious, very delicious), before taking us out in his truck to see the property.
With a railroad, pool, ponds, and a few miles of river running through the property, Jason and his small family of staff members are never bored.
It was awesome getting to see everything on the property from the tasting room, Jason's home, the pool and pond, and the railroad that he can take into town. One of the coolest things to me though was seeing his barn where he stores all of his wine barrels.
Parties, barbecues, live music, and other events are a regular commodity here. So if you're ever in the area or looking for something to do, check out their Instagram account @rivino_winery for updates.
4:30pm // Check in at Vichy Springs Resort
This super quiet and cozy resort is tucked back in the hills outside of Ukiah. We checked in and got settled into our cottage before getting changed and heading for a soak in the natural springs!
These springs only run about 104 degrees. So not much hotter than your normal body temp. They're naturally carbonated (lightly carbonated), and are packed with tons of minerals, all of which are really good for your skin and hair!
The small towns that dot the Mendocino landscape add to its magical charm. Mendocino village itself is a quaint and historic town, with charming Victorian architecture and a peaceful atmosphere. It is home to art galleries, shops, and restaurants that showcase the unique culture and creativity of the area. Another town of note is Fort Bragg, with its famous Glass Beach. This beach gets its name from the sea glass that covers its shores, a result of decades of garbage dumping in the area. The crashing waves have transformed the discarded glass into smoothed, colorful gems, creating a visually stunning and magical sight. Mendocino's magic extends beyond its natural and architectural beauty. It is a place where time seems to slow down, and where one can truly relax and connect with nature. Whether it is exploring the hiking trails, kayaking along the coastline, or simply enjoying a picnic on the beach, Mendocino offers endless opportunities for outdoor recreation and rejuvenation. The region is also known for its vibrant arts and culture scene. The annual Mendocino Music Festival attracts renowned musicians, while the Mendocino Film Festival showcases indie films and documentaries. Art galleries and studios can be found throughout the county, showcasing the work of local artists and artisans. In conclusion, Mendocino magic is a combination of natural beauty, small-town charm, and a sense of tranquility and wonder that is unique to this area. Whether one is drawn to the coastline, the redwoods, or the cultural offerings, Mendocino has a way of enchanting all those who visit. It is a place where the power and beauty of nature can be fully appreciated, and where one can find a sense of peace and connection to the world around us..
Reviews for "Mendocino's Hidden Beaches: Discovering the Secrets of the Coastline"
- John - 1 star: This place is a total rip-off. The prices are way too high for the quality. The food was mediocre at best, and the service was slow and inattentive. The atmosphere was also nothing special, just a boring dining room with no ambiance. I would not recommend Mendocino Magic to anyone.
- Sarah - 2 stars: I had high expectations for Mendocino Magic, but I was left disappointed. The food was alright, but nothing extraordinary. The portion sizes were also quite small for the price we paid. Additionally, the staff seemed overwhelmed and not very friendly. Overall, it was an underwhelming dining experience.
- David - 2 stars: I had heard great things about this place, but it did not live up to the hype. The food was average and overpriced. The service was subpar, with our waiter forgetting our orders and taking a long time to bring out our drinks. The atmosphere was also nothing special, just your typical average restaurant. I would not return to Mendocino Magic.
