B-Love Goes To Calistoga and Sonoma
As much as we love hosting our guests at B-Loves Guesthouse, we know that sometimes you just need to get away. Luckily, our owner Traci has a favorite destination just a short drive from Oakland, Calistoga and Sonoma. With their rolling hills, vineyards, and tiny little towns, this region has something for everyone, every vibe, and every mood. From wine tasting to hiking to shopping, you'll find endless ways to unwind and recharge. We're sharing some of Traci's favorite places in Sonoma that we think our guests will enjoy too.
For Traci, is about slowing down and savoring life's simple pleasures. No rush hour traffic, no long lines, no competing for attention, just the beauty of nature, the bounty of the land, and the warmth of community.
Golden Haven Spa
If you're looking for a truly rejuvenating experience during your stay in Calistoga, we highly recommend checking out the Golden Haven Spa . Traci recently indulged in their renowned mud baths, and she raved about the blissful experience they provided. As she submerged herself in the warm mud, she described feeling like she was suspended in a cloud, drifting away into a state of pure relaxation. The mud helped draw out toxins from her body, allowing her to truly unwind and rejuvenate. In fact, Traci was so enchanted by the experience that she found herself dozing off, enjoying a refreshing nap amidst the serene surroundings.
Traci can't stop raving about her experience at Golden Haven Spa and she's eager for our guests to have the same wonderful experience that she did. Thank you, @goldenhavenspa, for providing such an exceptional and rejuvenating sanctuary.
Corner 103
No visit to Sonoma is complete without indulging in the world-class wines, and Traci discovered a gem at Corner 103 which offers an exceptional wine tasting experience that left Traci wanting to share her enthusiasm with our guests. From the moment she stepped into the elegant tasting room, she was greeted by knowledgeable staff who guided her through a curated selection of exquisite wines. Each sip revealed the passion and artistry that went into crafting these exceptional vintages. Traci was particularly impressed by the welcoming atmosphere at Corner 103, where the staff fostered an environment of warmth and approachability. The team at Corner 103 will make you feel right at home as you explore their impressive selection of wines.
If you're a wine enthusiast or simply looking to broaden your palate, set aside some time to visit Corner 103 and discover the passion that goes into every bottle. It's an experience that Traci highly recommends, and we know it will leave a lasting impression on our guests.
