The California wine country is one of the most popular tourist spots in California. Spanning six counties north of San Francisco, the region is booming with wine production as well as its tourist industry. It’s hard to find a spot that isn’t jam-packed with visitors sipping wines, shopping at boutiques, and relaxing at spas–that is, unless you check out Ukiah. This city is actually the largest in Mendocino County, but it has a charming, historical, small-town vibe. It’s home to multiple wineries, such as Parducci Wine Cellars, Nelson Family Vineyards, Cox Vineyards, Simaine Cellars, Rivino Winery, and more, as well as small breweries. Plus, there are low-key spas such as the Vichy Springs Resort, and unique shops. Best of all, Ukiah is home to some gorgeous hotels and vacation rentals that range from basic to luxurious. If you need a getaway from your wine country vacation, find out where to stay in Ukiah, California, below!
