With AutoCamp Sonoma as home base, you can easily explore wineries, forests, and foodie destinations, then turn in for a dreamy night in the redwoods. Need help planning an itinerary? We’ve got you covered.
Day 1: Unwind and Sip Slow
Morning
Ease into your getaway with complimentary coffee and granola at AutoCamp’s Clubhouse. Take your breakfast outside to the fire pit or enjoy a quiet moment in your Airstream or luxury tent before heading out.
Late Morning to Afternoon: Sip Like a Local
You are in wine country, after all. Hop in the car for a quick drive to Gary Farrell Vineyards and Winery 25-ish minutes from AutoCamp Sonoma. Located at the top of a hill in the heart of the Russian River Valley, the panoramic view from the tasting patio makes sipping a selection of their signature Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays even more spectacular. Pair your flight with a curated cheese or charcuterie board and take your time soaking in the scenery.
On your way back, stop at Korbel Champagne Cellars for a sparkling flight and a look inside the historic cellars.
Evening
Head into nearby Guerneville for dinner at boon eat + drink, a beloved local spot known for fresh, seasonal plates and relaxed vibes. Return to camp to unwind beneath the stars with a fireside drink or s’mores kit.
Day 2: Redwoods, Roads, and River Towns
Morning
Fuel up with breakfast from the Clubhouse, then grab a complimentary cruiser bike or take a short drive to Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Preserve. Wander among towering redwoods, some more than a thousand years old, for a peaceful way to reconnect with nature.
Afternoon
If you’re up for a scenic drive, Sonoma’s winding back roads offer endless vineyard and forest views. Stop at Porter Creek Vineyards for a private hillside tour and tasting. The family-run operation blends rustic charm with some of the region’s best small-batch wines.
Evening
Settle in for dinner at Main Street Bistro in Guerneville. It’s the go-to for wood-fired pizzas, hearty pastas, and live local music. End the night back at AutoCamp, watching the stars appear above the redwoods.
boon eat + drink
With Guerneville right around the corner from camp, it’s easy to get a taste of the fabulous local food scene. boon eat + drink serves seasonal farm-to-table plates (roasted beet salad, truffle mac & cheese, yum) that scream autumn.
Main Street Bistro
The go-to for wood-fired pizzas and hearty pastas when you want something a little more sturdy. Bonus: it doubles as a piano bar, meaning live acoustic music and jazz are part of the charm.
Hog Island Oyster Farm & Bodega Bay Oyster Company
In this part of the country, fresh oysters are basically a must. Hog Island Oyster Farm in Marshall and Bodega Bay Oyster Company a little further inland both shuck plump oysters that will melt in your mouth. Promise you won’t regret it.
Day 3: Oyster Shooters and Farewell
Morning
Enjoy a slow start before heading toward the coast. Stop at Hog Island Oyster Farm in Marshall or Bodega Bay Oyster Company for oysters that are fresh, plump, and shucked to order. Grab a dozen, add a glass of chilled white, and you’ve got lunch sorted with a view.
Afternoon
Take the long way back through Sebastopol or Healdsburg to explore local tasting rooms and artisan shops. Pick up a bottle or two to take home and keep the Sonoma feeling alive.
