Downtown Petaluma

North Bay Python's home is Petaluma, a delightfully quaint dairy town, nestled on a river at the edge of California's Wine Country. Here's what you can look forward to:

  • An historic venue with countless restaurants and coffee shops in walking distance
  • World-famous craft food and drink producers on your doorstep
  • Charming small-town hotels, as close as one block away

… and it's only an hour away from San Francisco (on a good day).
