Travel to America’s Greenest Wine Region ™

The new trend in tourism is eco-friendly accommodations and many destinations around the country are jumping on the green bandwagon, with Mendocino, CA leading the charge.
 
March 19, 2014 - PRLog -- Earth Day is April 22, and since 1970 it has served as the anniversary of the modern environmental movement. If you’re planning a vacation during the month of April and want to contribute to saving our planet, plan a trip to Mendocino and see how you can conserve Mother Earth while on vacation.

California overall is a state known for its innovative green concepts and this town is no exception. Mendocino, CA (http://www.bnbfinder.com/Mendocino/California-Bed-and-Breakfast) is America’s Greenest Wine Region boasting the largest acreage of organic vineyards and a variety of organic and biodynamic wine and beer. One for example, is Parducci’s - the very first certified carbon neutral winery. Not only does the county practice green initiatives when cultivating wine, but also in daily living; the Solar Living Institute is located here and benefits as an educational nonprofit that offers classes on sustainability from bee landscaping to solar PV installation.

To fully “go green” as a tourist, Stanford Inn by the Sea (http://www.bnbfinder.com/California/Mendocino/Bed-and-Bre...) serves as the premier bed and breakfast promoting sustainability. The inn provides guests with earth-friendly meals prepared with farm-to-table fruits and vegetables from the garden. Stanford Inn completes the eco experience with their solarium pool and wellness center offering classes on how to live more eco-responsibly. After your classes, choose to relax through their numerous wellness courses including Yoga, Tai Chi, and acupuncture. If you are looking for adventure, then Mendocino is where you can explore nature while saving it. At the Stanford Inn, Redwood canoes are provided for low-impact pioneering of the Big River. For those road-tripping in electric vehicles, then this inn is a perfect place to juice up as it has the only electric vehicle charging station on the north coast.

Brewery Gulch Inn Bed and Breakfast (http://www.bnbfinder.com/California/Mendocino/Bed-and-Bre...) is also committed to bettering the environment. Constructed with 150-year-old eco-salvaged wood, this inn has an efficient drip irrigation system in place installed with no machinery to restore ponds on the property. Using crops from their gardens they provide guests with hearty breakfasts and light dinner buffets each day, offering Belgian hot chocolate, omelets and classic breakfast items. The winner of many awards including AAA’s Four Diamond Award, Brewery Gulch has been consistently providing their guests with Zen-like, hypoallergenic experiences that promote sustainability.

Mendocino provides travelers with energy and resource-saving alternatives for their favorite activities. There are plenty of great restaurants to choose from and you won’t have to research which ones use genetically modified organisms, as the entire city banned the use of them in 2004. Don’t forget to bring your camera when venturing out into nature as Mendocino is home to the oldest trees as well as the only Bi-coastal Botanical Gardens on the west coast. For a scenic escape, Mendocino also flows into several historic highways including the Pacific Coast Highway, California Highways 101 and 20.
