Mendocino is a small town on the Pacific coast of Northern California (and we’re talking real Northern California, 150 miles north of San Francisco). Originally settled by Portuguese and Canton immigrants, it has become a haven of artistic expression and farm-to-table cuisine.

Many people recognize the landscape of the Mendocino area from movies and television programs. Murder, She Wrote filmed a number of episodes in Mendocino and the movie Same Time, Next Year takes place at the Heritage House Inn.

This week, Peter Greenberg Worldwide broadcasts from the beautiful Heritage House Resort in Mendocino, California. Guests include Mendocino Music Festival Co-Founder Allan Pollack, travel writer Matt Kepnes, and Executive Chef Fabrice Dubuc.
