New York Bagels in Mill Valley is a great first stop for a breakfast bagel sandwich to take on the road if you are driving up from San Francisco. As former New Yorkers, this is the best we've found. The lox sandwich with all the fixings is excellent. (Warning: It’s still not a NY bagel!)

City advice
Getting around
Renting/Driving a car is the best mode of transportation.
There are many Uber and Lyft drivers in San Francisco, Santa Rosa, and Healdsburg that can bring you to Hopland, but not many drivers to pick you up in and around Hopland. We highly recommend driving/renting a car or hiring a driver ahead of time to get you around.
Our favorite vineyard tour guide and driver is Randall Kimps – he knows just about every vineyard and winemaker in the Napa and Sonoma valleys. www.randallswinetours.com
Our favorite cycling wine tour is with Dave Brazell – if the weather is right there is no better way to soak in Dry Creek. https://winecountrycyclingtours.com
