If you’re looking for a gorgeous stateside destination off the beaten path, look no further! Mendocino, California wows with its blend of rugged natural beauty and delicious food and beverage offerings.
From its distinctive Pacific coastline, towering redwood forests, and a world class wine region of rolling vines and apple orchards, awe-inspiring landscapes abound. Pair this feast for the eyes with equally delectable delights for the palate, and you’ll have a holiday that can’t be beaten.
Nicholson House at Beaujolais is the ultimate home base to maximize your Mendocino experience. This boutique hotel and restaurant property welcomes and enchants guests with its luxury accommodation and delicious dining perfectly situated in the heart of the Mendocino Village.
The duo are nestled amid an historic district of shops, galleries, artsy boutiques, restaurants, and more, but is also steps away from the beach, cliffside trails, and the wide-open space that makes Mendocino magic.
Nicholson House is a sanctuary of bespoke amenities and impeccable design. The restored grand Victorian brings the remarkable beauty of the town indoors.
Custom-designed touches include opulently tiled bathrooms (with heated flooring), meticulously restored antiques, crystal chandeliers, locally made custom furniture, and an impeccably landscaped garden with native flowering plants, ocean views, and a pond with a chorus of frogs. Nicholson House is truly a Mendocino must.
Along with its astounding beauty, Mendocino has long been known for its food and foraging lifestyle, as well as its wine and microbrew scene and its trailblazing cannabis culture. Sister property Cafe Beaujolais is another homage to Mendo’s culture, as the historic cafe was one of the first restaurants of the area.
Today’s Beaujolais is a three in one stop. The historic cafe offers imaginative and decadent fine dining and an extensive, highly-curated wine list; the Brickery pizza garden serves up wood-fired, brick-oven pizza and casual lunch alfresco; and the Waiting Room coffee and tap room serves as an all-day lounge with house-made delights from morning to night, artisan coffee, and rotating tap microbrews on draft.
All three eateries emphasize seasonal and local cuisine, and Nicholson House guests enjoy morning goodies at the Waiting Room as part of their stay.
Mendocino’s blend of sensational beauty, historic charm, and relaxed atmosphere, along with fantastic food and beverage fare, make it a distinct and appealing destination. Arriving at this rural hamlet on the far reaches of the Northern California Coast is a step back in time.
The bucolic village features a mix of Victorian homes, New England-style saltbox cottages, and other architectural styles set against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean to the west and redwood forests to the east. Mendocino Village’s unique character was recognized nationally in 1971 when it was added to the U.S. Register of Historic Places in recognition of its architectural and natural beauty.
