SEBASTOPOL

Sebastopol is a vibrant small town in western Sonoma County, once rooted in apple orchards and rich agricultural traditions. Today, it has evolved into a celebrated destination for those seeking a lifestyle that blends creativity, sustainability, and natural beauty. 

Downtown Sebastopol is the heartbeat of the community, where historic charm meets modern innovation. At the center is The Barlow, a 12.5-acre open-air market district filled with boutique tasting rooms, craft breweries, farm-to-table restaurants, and independent artisan shops. From fresh-roasted coffee and organic ice cream to handmade goods and curated fashion, The Barlow is both a local favorite and a visitor magnet.

Beyond The Barlow, downtown offers a variety of shops, yoga studios, wellness centers, bookstores, and galleries. A robust weekly farmers’ market showcases the bounty of West County, while community events and seasonal festivals bring neighbors together in celebration of local food, music, and art.

Nature lovers will find endless inspiration in the nearby Laguna de Santa Rosa, the largest freshwater wetland complex on the northern California coast. Its protected trails, open spaces, and rich biodiversity provide opportunities for birdwatching, hiking, photography, and quiet reflection—just minutes from downtown.

With easy access to the Russian River, Bodega Bay, and renowned West County wineries, Sebastopol offers the best of Northern California: scenic beauty, conscious living, and a strong sense of community. Whether you’re enjoying a sunset over the vineyards, exploring farm trails, or dining al fresco under string lights, Sebastopol welcomes you to slow down and savor life.
