|  Forestville
..... is located approximately 50 miles
North of San Francisco on Hwy 116 just north of Graton, in
the heart of the West County wine country. Forestville is
actually a preferred place to live in sonoma county, due to
it's location, climate and small town feeling..
It's close to all the fun things
in Sonoma County..... Just north are thousand year old redwood
trees, Guereneville and the famous Russian River. West is
the Sonoma Coast at Jenner, East to Santa Rosa and Sonoma,
South to Sebestopol, Rohnert Park, and Petaluma, and yet it
is surrounded by open country and some of the most beautiful
and famous wineries and vineyards in the world, like Korbel
Winery. You know "Korbel Winery" know world wide
for it's fine wine,champagne, and of course Korbel Brandy,
some of thebest in the world, made right here in Sonoma County
on the Russian River.
The town of Forestville
is small but it has everything you need including schools
church, a grocery store , and great Mexican food. a couple
of shops, a drug store, "The Forestville Club" where
I think everybody in Sonoma County has partied at least once.
I know I remember a couple of serious hanger overs from there.
It's a funky little bar you could write a great song about.
The summers are
hot here, but the Russian River is close, Winters get lots
of rain. The Russian River is near by to fish and raft, and
lay around.
The Sonoma Coast
is not far from here.. The sping is alive with the wonderful
smell apple blossoms in the summer and the winters are wet
and cold but usually no snow. There are rivers, and parks
near by, and there lots of wide open spaces to explore.
This is a great
place raise your kids, or retire, because there's room for
everybody to get along just fine. Although as of this writing
in 2009 they have been developing the North West area of town
and there is actually a small business complex with a fast
stop and a couple of other stores, and shops now.
These images
were taken from the center of town looking East And West on
Main Street (hwy 116) in the actual middle of town. As you
can see it's not very big. The Center image is The Mexican
Resturant I mentioned earlier . They Have great food
Like
I said... don't blink or you'll miss Forestville |
