Here’s 3 more free things to do in Wine Country:
- Play bocce ball. A lot of wineries and tasting rooms in the area have bocce ball courts open to the public. Seghesio in Healdsburg has some great courts. And some great wines…
- Find Snoopy: there are multiple Snoopy, and Charlie Brown, and other Peanuts characters cast as statues throughout Sonoma County. Santa Rosa’s Railroad Square has a fair collection, but if you look, they are all over the county.
- Get edumacated about Marine Biology. The UC Davis Bodega Marina Laboratory at Bodega Bay is open on some Fridays, from 2 – 4 pm, for visits. As they state on their site:
“Public Education features at BML include numerous marine aquarium displays, some of which shatter the notion that local marine life is drab. Upon entering our West Wing, visitors experience a 24-foot-long display, containing many colorful local fishes and invertebrates, and a small kelp forest. Past that is a predator aquarium with large, charismatic hunters.
Next to that is a round aquarium that displays anemones and other organisms. Elsewhere around the facility are smaller display aquaria featuring local and, occasionally, exotic marine creatures. A Tidal Mesocosm display allows visitors to experience the biodiversity and dynamic energy of the northern California coast.”
