Pacific Star Winery, located about 15 minutes north of Fort Bragg on Highway 1, is worth the trip. Adirondack chairs placed in pairs around the property allow you to grab a bottle of wine (I recommend the Vioigner), and enjoy the serene yet dramatic views of waves crashing over the rocky coastline.
