If sunshine and a “where’s the beef?” appetite beckon, the place to be is Mendocino Café, where the menu leans to sustainably caught seafood and organically raised chicken and beef. If your timing is right, the kitchen staff might even bring Fido a bone.
Curious about those Mendocino County wines? Start on Highway 101 in Hopland with its many tasting rooms and then head out Highway 128 through the Yorkville, Boonville, Philo and Navarro wine-growing regions, better known as the Anderson Valley. Many, if not most, of the Mendocino County wineries welcome DogTrekkers in their tasting rooms or on their picnic grounds.
