Exploring Forestville: Where the River Meets the Redwoods
As you follow Highway 116 through central Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley, the road transforms into Front Street for a charming three-block stretch at the heart of Forestville. Here's where to eat, drink and play in Forestville according to Sonoma County Tourism.
Wine Tasting
While Forestville’s motto is “where the river meets the redwoods,” it might as well be “where the river and redwoods meet the vineyards.” From this quaint downtown, the road leads directly into redwood forests and the Russian River recreation area. Along the way, you’ll discover some of the Russian River Valley appellation’s most renowned vineyards and historic wineries. Click here for more information on where to wine taste in Forestville.
Local Gems to Discover
A visit to Forestville isn’t complete without stopping at Nightingale Breads, where a wood-fired oven produces fragrant, European-style loaves and other baked goods. The Tiny Town Café offers a warm welcome with coffee and lively local conversation. For wine lovers, Forestville is home to tasting rooms and is surrounded by exceptional wineries showcasing local vintages.
Dining in Forestville
When hunger strikes, Forestville delivers with a variety of dining options, including burgers, pizza, deli fare, Italian, and Mexican cuisine. For a more refined experience, the Michelin-starred Farmhouse Inn, located just outside of town, offers superb service, a fantastic wine list, and a seasonal farm-to-table gourmet menu.
Outdoor Adventures
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to explore, with access to the Russian River at Sunset Beach River Park, Steelhead Beach Regional Park, and Mom’s Beach (also known as Forestville River Access). To experience the river up close, Burke’s Canoe Trips provides canoes, kayaks, shuttle services, and riverside campsites, making it easy to enjoy a day—or weekend—on the water.
