Ukiah is a city with rich soils. Wineries are the focus here after years of agricultural success in pears and hops. The city of Ukiah is the gateway to the more rural Northern California and as so, serves as the County seat for Mendocino. Ukiah boasts everything from wineries, hiking trails, spas, and boutiques. The city is quaint for its size. Within the surrounding areas experience hot springs, Lake Mendocino recreations, or visit the local Buddhist temple. Ukiah’s green lush hillsides, vineyards, wineries, and ranches are worth writing home about.
