The rain is melting the snow today, but the runoff has the East Branch and South Fork of the Eel River roaring against it's banks. The river is very swift and muddy right now and you can hear the rushing waters push against the historic stone bridge. Many of our guests have told us they like to relax by the lobby fire with a glass of wine and just watch the rain fall on the Redwood hillsides and listen to the river flow.

Today we're expecting many of our guests to arrive for our Seghesio Winemaker dinner on Saturday night. Our Executive Chef is busy preparing the final menu details, wine parings are being tasted, tested and finalized. These kind of events are creative and fun for our Wine Program Director and for our culinary team. We are looking forward to it!

For you Steelhead anglers, check back, we'll post Eel River conditions and notes on Steelhead - if they're catching them.
