Freestone is California's fermentation destination

The village with a rich history is only getting tastier

Bread, wine, cheese, and a healing Japanese therapy—the Cedar Enzyme Bath—make Sonoma County’s Freestone, the California fermentation destination. 

Come celebrate a renewed artisan food culture in one of wine country’s most distinct small towns on Sunday, October 19. The village of Freestone is Sonoma County’s first historic district and is emerging as a must-visit destination for anyone in search of the secret treasures of Northern California. The five-acre, award-winning Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary, with its celebrated Japanese gardens, has been a major destination for in-the-know travelers for 25 years. It’s been joined by a distinct artisanal food and fermentation culture in Freestone that has attracted thousands of weekend visitors in search of organic loaves and cinnamon buns, artisan local cheeses, and a taste of some of the best wine in the region. 

Fermented crafts are the perfect complement to a day spent renewing body and mind in the active Cedar Enzyme Baths at Osmosis. Our health and well-being depends on helpful, living probiotic cultures and flora. That’s why Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary and its neighbors—Freestone Artisan Cheese, Joseph Phelps Vineyards, and Wild Flour Bakery—are celebrating the unique culture of artisan food and fermentation with DESTINATION FREESTONE Sunday, October 19, 10am-4pm 

Join the block party at Osmosis spa, sanctuary and boutique, with wine, cedar footbaths, special spa treatments and skin care demonstrations. Then ride a carriage horse through this 19th century historic village, where you’ll be greeted by the open doors of shops, merchants and boutiques with special tastes and treats for the celebration.
