Things to do in Santa Rosa, California (CA): The Best Sights & Landmarks
If you're into wine-tasting, a weekend in Santa Rosa is certain to be satisfying. But this region of magnificent redwoods, rolling hills and ocean vistas has a great mix of other fun pastimes as well. Located right in the center of the Sonoma County wine region, Santa Rosa is home to several vineyards with world-class wines, rich histories and beautiful surroundings. The Matanzas Creek Winery offers June and July visitors a chance to enjoy its aromatic fields of blooming lavender, but its Estate Gardens and spectacular scenery are tourist draws year-round. If golf is your passion, grab your clubs and spend a relaxing afternoon at Fountaingrove or one of the other popular courses. Young and old alike will delight in the Charles M. Schulz Museum, which chronicles the evolution and history of Snoopy and the "Peanuts" gang. With wine or without, a trip to Santa Rosa is one you'll never forget.

For over half a century, Cloverleaf Ranch has provided a healthy, wholesome and fun vacation for children. Originally a boys working ranch, Cloverleaf has become a "home away from home" for thousands of children and adults from all over the world. Born in 1947, our ranch was built (board by board) by my Grandfather, Larry Armstrong and created by my Grandmother, Grace Armstrong. Today, in addition to our award-winning horse boarding and riding programs, we are home to Sonoma County's only Western Summer Camp Program. Our ranch brings the fun and excitement of the frontier west to campers, with activities such as horseback riding, campouts, hiking, swimming, ropes course, arts and crafts, and many more activates. 160 acres of oak tree dotted hills and grazing land, Cloverleaf Ranch is the perfect setting for a Western adventure! The location is just off Highway 101 at the northern edge of Santa Rosa, only an hour's drive from San Francisco.

Anyone interested in plants will enjoy this site commemorating the work of famed horticulturist Luther Burbank, who introduced over 800 new plant varieties, including the Idaho Potato. The site includes an acre of gardens with many of the naturalist's creations, a beautiful greenhouse he built in 1889, and his Greek Revival home.

This place is such a great place for the greatest American style Big Idaho Potato Truck visiting Luther Burbank Home and Gardens! I was laughing so hard, up until I got up close to the ENORMOUS fiberglass vegetable. So interesting facts aka food for thought lol. First this particular vehicle has an national route of 61 cities in a given year. Secondly, I personally met the first female of an 3 woman team, first time this year. One drives and the other 2 work the crowd at every stop. Thirdly, these potatoes they are promoting is gluten free direct from Idaho! Too fun to see something so different from the every day. Check it out! Only here for a limited time.

A friend skates at The Redwood Empire Ice Arena. He is an Old Hockey Player. Takes figure skating lessons and has a terrific skating partner. Used to skate on a Hockey Teem with a man named Sparky. Some called him Mr. Schulz. I skated 48 years ago. Now just watch. The December Student show is delightful. The Summer Senior Hockey Tournament is addictive. Each year I go to see a couple of games and end up watching half a dozen.
