Cloverdale/Geyserville

 

Cloverdale and Geyserville together represent the unhurried, undiscovered side of Sonoma County, and that is exactly what makes them special. Cloverdale, named one of America's Coolest Small Towns, sits on the Russian River surrounded by Alexander Valley vineyards, with a walkable downtown Sculpture Trail, the intimate Cloverdale Performing Arts Center, and summer Friday Night Live concerts on the plaza. Geyserville, just a short drive south, has wooden boardwalks and 19th-century storefronts that feel like a genuine piece of the past, anchored today by destination-worthy restaurants including Catelli's, Diavola, and the Francis Ford Coppola Winery. Lake Sonoma offers world-class recreation minutes from both towns. For buyers seeking privacy, beauty, wine country access, and extraordinary value compared to their neighbors to the south, this corridor is one of the county's best-kept secrets.
