Our "official" wedding hotel, the Sheraton, will be in Petaluma. This beautiful western style town has a gorgeous old town featuring many nice restaurants (with international and local cuisine), bars and cafés. Our rehearsal dinner and our post wedding brunch will be in downtown Petaluma. Just take some time to stroll around and you will probably feel "the Wild West".
From traditional saloons to sushi places and the modern California In & Out Burger, you will find all the choices you would expect from a midsized Californian city.
In particular, we suggest the following in Petaluma:
Petaluma Premium Outlets
Many European tourists think of factory outlet stores when it comes to shopping in the US. The closest Outlet Mall is just a 5 minute drive from the Sheraton Petaluma. Another decent outlet mall is located in Napa on the main street (about 40 minutes from Petaluma).

Sonoma Valley Portworks
In addition to the famous wineries, wine country also features some boutique port producers (California Port is not exported, and is therefore sold as “Port” though it is not produced in the Douro Valley of Northern Portugal). We will serve a selection of this port at our wedding reception in a relaxed “Port Lounge”.

Lagunitas Brewery
The US is not famous for outstanding beers. However, there are many boutique and micro breweries that produce excellent beer; many of them in California and one of the most noteworthy ones in Petaluma. There is a public tasting room and a snack bar; try the IPA – the Lagunitas Indian Pale Ale.
