SF Gate Covers Santa Rosa as a Unique Vacation Destination

The Santa Rosa Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) reached out to Spud Hilton, the high profile travel editor and writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, to see if he was interested in covering some of Santa Rosa’s more unique vacation destinations. He agreed and stayed at Safari West for two nights, and also spent one night at the Flamingo Conference Resort & Spa.

While in Santa Rosa, Spud was also able to experience the new and exciting craft beer culture, which he plans to cover in an upcoming article – we will let you know when that is published.

SF Gate gets 29 million unique visitors to its website every month. The CVB promotes our area as a travel destination and provides no-cost hospitality services to groups and individuals.
