Getting There 

​

The village of Mendocino is 3 hours from the Golden Gate Bridge without stopping. 

Try to get on the road before 2:00pm to avoid hideous rush hour traffic past Novato. 

Get gas in Cloverdale before heading onto Hwy 128. Gas in the village is crazy expensive! 

The drive up Hwy 128 is spectacular anytime of the year.

If you have time, there are a number of great wineries in Anderson Valley along Hwy 128.

We don't recommend driving on Hwy 128 in the dark. If you have to, it's ok but it's very windy in the redwoods and there are deer. 

​

Places to stop on the drive:

     Barndiva

     Healdsberg Bar & Grill
