Taste Wine Along the San Andreas Fault Line

"Perched over Tomales Bay, this renovated waterside inn and restaurant is built from old fishermen’s shacks and is prized for its sunset deck dining and peaceful, bay-front atmosphere. Guests routinely savor a dozen raw oysters and rosé while watching the bay turn golden and listening to waves lap the piers below; the site’s dramatic setting is underscored by the San Andreas Fault running beneath the water. On the menu, smoked black cod (prepared over Pinot Noir barrel shavings) and a richly flavored cioppino are standout items, and staying in one of the over-water cottages with a private deck is a highly recommended way to experience the place." - Ray Isle
