Travel

About Philo

All of the weekend's events will be held in Philo, CA, a small town located within Mendocino County and the greater Anderson Valley wine country.


The Pacific Coast and town of Mendocino are 40 minutes northwest and Sonoma County is an hour drive south.

Airports

We recommend flying into either STS (1 hour drive to Philo), OAK (2.5 hour drive), or SFO (3 hour drive).

Transportation

We highly recommend renting a car in order to drive to your hotel, explore the redwoods & coast plus all the beautiful vineyards & towns on the way up.


Buddy up with others & make a roadtrip out of it! There's so much to see and do nearby in Sonoma County, Guerneville, and Healdsburg.

Local Activities

Hiking Among Redwoods: Redwoods are some of the tallest and oldest living things on earth and there’s nothing quite as magical as standing beneath them. You can wander redwood groves at Hendy Woods State Park or Indian Creek Campground, both a short drive from the venue, or cruise through Navarro River Redwoods State Park during golden hour.


Wine Tasting: If you love good wine, you’re in the right place. Anderson Valley is famous for Pinot Noir and sparkling wines. Handley Cellars and Roederer Estate are two cute vineyards in town. There are also two wine tasting rooms located within The Madrones hotel. Or if you’re driving up from San Francisco, you’ll pass through Sonoma County, which is one of California’s most famous wine regions with tons of vineyards to choose from.


Coastal Views & Ocean Breezes: Point Mendocino Trail winds around the bluffs and is dotted with wildflowers and sweeping ocean views. It’s a short stroll from Mendocino’s quaint town square, so you can mix in some shops and cafes while you're there too.


Kayaking & Biking: Rent a kayak, canoe, stand up paddle board, or bicycle from Catch a Canoe, located in Mendocino.

Offspring @ the Farrer Building: Awesome brick oven pizzas & small plates by the people behind The Boonville Hotel.



Paysanne: Coffee shop & bakery with bread, pastries & ice cream next to Offspring. Leah gets the matcha, Jack gets a flat white.



SŌBŌ: Chic sushi & sake bar run by a husband wife duo. Get the flamed salmon & miso soup. Come hungry, but dont come in a rush.



Jumbo’s Win Win: Retro diner with big outdoor patio & live music at night. The pickle beer & smashburger are a must.
