Strong community ties in wine country
At the northernmost point of Sonoma County, the small, friendly wine-country city of Cloverdale is a little bit cheaper and a whole lot warmer than Petaluma, Healdsburg and much of Santa Rosa. This vintage slice of small-town America sprawls just off Highway 101 and the cooling banks of the Russian River. Once home to the Pomo tribe and an early stagecoach stop, Cloverdale became an official town in 1872, the same year the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad arrived. Citrus orchards thrived here for decades, but logging was even more long-lived; in a two-fisted blow during the early 1990s, lumber moved elsewhere and the 101 was rerouted around town. Civic revival efforts by devoted local officials have since proven successful, and Cloverdale is once again a happening place to be.
Wine country attractions near Cloverdale include Ferrari-Carano Winery and Vineyard.

Lavender lattes at Plank Coffee
Residents have an array of smaller grocery options, including Grocery Outlet and Ray’s Food Place. Cloverdale resident Brooke Wright is especially fond of the small, upscale Dahlia & Sage Community Market. “Their organic produce is beautiful, and I love having so many local products to choose from, but just know that you’ll pay extra for everything to enjoy the privilege of not schlepping to Healdsburg to shop,” Wright says. April through November, Tuesday evenings bring the popular Cloverdale Farmers Market. Downtown offers women’s clothing boutiques, plant nurseries and the library, and dogs are welcome just about everywhere. Locals gather over house-roasted lavender lattes at Plank Coffee, where the tables to snag are those outside on the sidewalk. Pick’s Drive-In has been the go-to spot for burgers since 1923, and friends often meet at Wolf House Brewing for house-made beers like Therapy Session IPA and Inhale X-Pale.

The Citrus Fair and Cloverdale Wine Walk
“It’s amazing how much is going on in this tiny little town,” Wright says. “There’s the Friday Night Live concert series in the plaza on summer Fridays, which is like a big community block party, with folks dancing by the bandstand. The Citrus Fair has been held here in February since 1892, with a big carnival and a parade for the Citrus Queen. The Cloverdale Arts Alliance holds art exhibits and music performances all year, and in the spring, the local movie theater hosts part of the independent Alexander Valley Film Festival, always with some food and wine events.” Locals also flock to the Cloverdale Wine Walk, held the first Saturday of the month from May to October. “Wine Walk is so fun," Wright says. “You get a wine glass and walk around downtown to get tastes of wine at local businesses. When friends come to visit, it’s the perfect way to introduce them to the whole town.” The community continues to add new events like One Long Table, which debuted in May 2023. "There's this whole line of tables running along 1st Street downtown, and everyone who wants to come has to bring table décor and some brunch to share,” Wright says. “The idea is that people get a chance to meet and hang out with their neighbors, which is brilliant. I love living in a place with this kind of community spirit.”
