Inspired California: North Coast + Wine Country
Ali Giaudrone
Available for hire
The tranquil counties of California's North Coast and Wine Region are emphasized by mammoth tree forests that yield to the great Pacific Ocean's rocky shoreline while farms and vineyards roll across inland hills.
History about the natives and original settlers gives a bit of context to this serene region. Experience redwood forests, a sublime Pacific coastline, nature preserves, organic farms and creameries, pastoral wine and olive country, and world-class restaurants, inns, and spas.
Feel a sense of awe in the collective of Redwoods National and State Parks, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in Del Norte and Humboldt Counties. Mendocino County is also heavily forested with redwoods and a stunning coastline, while inland to its east, Lake County takes its name from Clear Lake, the largest natural lake completely in California.
Sonoma and Napa Counties may be most famous for their world-class winemakers and are also considered to be part of the San Francisco Bay Area, but most of Sonoma County fits into the North Coast and both counties feel uniquely separate from (and more relaxed than) the bustling Bay Area.

Architecture | Food | Culture
As a designer, I've traveled throughout Europe and the Western world to learn about architectural products and methods. Now as an expert luxury traveler, I share culturally enriching experiences that aren't necessarily opulent or expensive but are focused on quality and authenticity. The best way to understand the world is to experience the unique aspects of places with an open mind and heart.
I want to inspire others to experience the beauty and food of places I discover through my travels and research. Let my stories and photos spark your own journey. Then connect with me to help make your travel dreams come true.
