Here are five questions about things these innkeepers / concierge like to do when they aren’t assisting you or preparing for your visit to Sonoma County.
Tegan Wilson – Hotel Healdsburg – chief concierge
Jenny Lamarre – Fern Grove Cottages – owner/innkeeper
Brian Siewert – Sonoma Orchid Inn – owner/innkeeper
Kathleen Young – Kelley and Young Wine Garden Inn – owner/innkeeper
Favorite spot for a quick lunch?
Wilson: Pizzandos (it’s a little convenient for me)
Lamarre: Cafe Aquatica. Great sandwiches, very casual, can sit on the river and watch the day go by
Siewert: Saigon Bistro in Windsor
Young: I love to go to Dahlia & Sage. They have great salads and every day a different special hot meal.
Favorite place to watch the sunset ?
Wilson: Bodega Head
Lamarre: River’s End Restaurant in Jenner. Best sunset ever – where the river meets the ocean.
Siewert: River’s End Restaurant
Young: The coast, especially if I can get up high to watch until the sun has dipped into the ocean – ahhhhhh!

Favorite place to take an out of town guest?
Wilson: Armstrong Redwoods
Lamarre: Zip-lining above the Redwoods at the Canopy Tours in Occidental is my favorite place to take guests after a hike in the redwoods at Armstrong Redwood Forest
Siewert: Florence Street, In Sebastopol, or Joe Matos Cheese farm, Sebastopol
Young: Willi’s Seafood & Raw Bar – I never tire of it. Great cocktails, wonderful staff, a great selection of oysters, Kelley & Young Wine on the list (hopefully) and the best darn food.
