About

VISIT MENDOCINO COUNTY - THE MAGIC IS REAL! 

Start a vacation or weekend by packing a bag and heading to a destination with so many great places to explore and adventures to enjoy. 

No matter where you come from, your first impression of Mendocino County is one of outstanding natural beauty: a drive into the county from the north reveals redwood forests and rivers; from the east, travel through rolling hills to the promise of the ocean; and from the south, spy verdant vineyards and the blue and gold of distant mountains.

This is what we offer... a promise of awe at the foot of a redwood tree, a gasp at the sight of a breaching whale, a sigh of pleasure from a sip of wine, hand-crafted from century-old vines...and our welcome.

The county’s large geographical area is broadly divided into distinct areas, each with their own unique characteristics and commonalities found in fine wining and dining, outdoor recreation, and experiences.

A Magical Playground

Thousands of miles of hiking trails, waterways perfect for kayaking and canoeing, scenic curving roads through the redwoods, and an abundance of outdoor adventures that will awaken the child within (and thrill the actual children in the group). This is Mendocino’s playful side.
