Natural majesty and awe are a weekend trip away!

Make plans now to explore the Mendocino Coast during the

2019 Mendocino Whale Festival in March

From redwood groves to the wine country,

California's northern coast is home to some of the most romantic getaways.

It's that time of year, folks! Crab, wine and beer! Cioppino! Crab Cake Cook-Off! WOW!

Wishing each of you a very happy new year. We hope that 2019 will bring you to Mendocino County. For touring Mendocino County, visit us at http://www.mendocinovisitors.com/touring.

The time of year to love and share

A time for peace and joy everywhere

We hope you’ve traveled some of our Mendocino County highways and bi-ways in 2018 and shared some of the bounty of our land with us. If you have, come on back. If you haven’t been to the mystical land of Mendocino County, put us on your calendar for 2019.

Looking for locally handmade Christmas gifts? Or homemade cookies, gingerbread people, or other baked goods? Maybe some jams, jellies, chutneys and Quinault pickles for your holiday table? Find them all at the Rainbow School Craft Fair on Saturday, December 8th, at Preston Hall in Mendocino, next to the Presbyterian Church. This year, the Mendocino Study Club’s annual Country Christmas bazaar will be part of the Crafts Fair. The event runs from 10 am to 4 pm.

Children and their families can meet Santa at 11 am, check who is on his list, and sing a few holiday songs together.

And speaking of lighting up everyone's life ...

Festival of Lights brightens Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens

Each winter the Gardens transforms into a twinkling show of light and color, and this year is no exception. This year’s ninth annual Festival of Lights will run rain or shine each Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening from Nov. 23 through Dec. 16.

Here at Mendocino Visitors we are huge fans of mushrooms and this is the season for sharing the bounty of mushrooms in Mendocino County.

From Nov. 2nd through Nov. 11th, 2018, the County of Mendocino is rolling out the red carpet for mushroom lovers. Yes, their health benefits have been extolled by many, as it should be, but oh my, it’s their taste. So, this November, have some fun with mushrooms here on the coast and inland.
