Santa Rosa
A delightful mélange of the big town and small town feel define the warm and friendly town of Santa Rosa. The climate here makes it a perfect location for vacationing while the town’s wineries and adventures make it the ultimate location to rejuvenate the mind and body. In fact, the Santa Rosa wineries are acclaimed in the state of California and so visitors make it a sure point to stop by and taste some of the best and fresh wines being served. Outdoor activities would surely disappoint anyone for there is abundance of it here in Santa Rosa. For instance, the Annadel State Park nearby and the lovely Spring Lake are great options for entertainment. Arts and culture find their second home in Santa Rosa; right from museums to fine theatre productions, there is almost every kind for all of us. The Tomato Festival and Chinese New Year Celebrations are a must watch!
