Get Lost in Sonoma!
With so many local farms, it’s no wonder that might weekend in Sonoma involved some of the best food that I’ve ever had! From tasty pastries at Costeaux in Healdsburg to a snout-to-tail lip-smacking lunch at Zazu to gourmet dinners at the Girl & the Fig–dining in Sonoma is as beautiful to look at as it is to indulge in!
Get Lost with Kelley Ferro in Sonoma
One of California’s top wine destinations, and a perfect weekend getaway, Sonoma offers up so much more than just world famous wine.
From hiking in the Redwoods to cruising along Highway 1, Kelley tells you all the best things to see & do on your trip to Sonoma.
Easily one of my favorite meals ever, let alone in Sonoma, El Dorado Kitchen is a must for the discerning foodie. The menu is local, the chef is exceptional and the atmosphere makes you never want to leave. Check out my favorite dishes and let me know when you go!
Understated chic yet simply comfortable, the El Dorado Hotel was such a gem–I knew right away that I picked the best place to stay in Sonoma. The good reviews did not lead me astray! The stylish, modern decor mixed well with the outdoor spaces, high-ceilinged rooms & pool. Plus, you have one of the area’s best restaurants in YOUR LOBBY. Seriously, my favorite meal in Sonoma has had just a few steps away from where I got my beauty sleep.
Do yourself a favor and book here when you go to Sonoma.
You’d never guess that over 400 wineries dot the rolling hills of the rural Sonoma. But with some of the world’s most famous wines, this peaceful region is serious about wine production. Kelley takes a tipsy tour through wine country, stopping at some of the most recommended wineries. She indulges in the Bubble Room experience at J Vineyard, meets the owner at Keller Estates, and sips a zinfandel at Dry Creek Vineyard.
A NEW YORK MINUTE: Kelley’s Sweet on…Sweet Revenge Cupcakes!
New York City is obsessed with cupcakes, and I have to admit, I am too. I crave these moist, frosting topped bites of joy. But because the city has such a wealth of offerings, I refuse to settle for any old cupcake. I want the best of the best. So that’s why I chose Sweet Revenge in the West Village.
Not only does Sweet Revenge offer lip smacking cupcakes (emphasis on CAKE), but they offer unique flavors and pair each with a wine and beer.
The West Village location also makes it a charming stop for brunch, lunch, happy hour or after dinner sweets.

Goat milk soft serve? Skeptical? Don’t be. It’s amazing. This new boutique ice cream shop serves good-for-you goat milk soft serve in inventive flavors with out-of-the-box toppings. I try it for myself and go behind the scenes with the shop’s owner.
