Warm people, charming shops, and some of California’s finest wines make Hopland a very special community you’ll want to return to again and again. Visit the state’s first brewpub or explore the miles of winding coastal trails only a short drive away. The bocce courts at Brutocao Cellars recall the town square of a small Italian village – and you won’t even need to put down your wine glass to enjoy this ancient lawn game. Food and wine festivals throughout the year pair local vintages with everything from wild mushrooms to fresh-caught crab. In Hopland, you’ll have a chance to venture beyond the everyday tourist trail and immerse yourself in California wine country “the way it used to be.”
