This is the true meaning of up-cycling. This place was redesigned using the building and structure of a former gas station. They have great outdoor dining space, a bar inside the old "garage", complete with the roll up doors, indoor dining is available, though not as much as outside. Order at the bar and take a seat. They will bring your food to you. There is street parking and a parking lot around the back side.

A speakeasy. They take reservations during the week, but not on weekends. Waiting in line isn't bad. To locate the speakeasy, walk through Pappy McGregor's pub (Pine St.) and exit at the patio. Turn left and there is a door with a doorbell. Ring it once and the hostess will answer. Unique drinks and atmosphere. Very small and intimate. It only seats 27 people at a time. Take a trip back to the 1920's.

Ziplining!! This is just plain fun!! Lots of walking with gravel paths and slight inclines, so be prepared with sturdy shoes. The crew will outfit you in your gear and help you at every take-off and landing point. It's not scary at all and it's worth every penny. Soaring over beautiful vineyards and feeling the fresh air across your face and body is fantastic.

If you have never seen the Elephant Seals, make time to do so. Located about 45 minutes from the Rockin' K, just a few miles north of Hearst Castle, you will not regret the stop. A great deal goes on from one part of the seal season to the next throughout the year. There are boardwalks on either side of the parking lot to get the best view of these large, fascinating sea life. Find one of the rangers to make the experience even more educational.

A leisurely walk through the gardens with a glass of wine and look at the sculptures created by a local artist. Live music every Sunday afternoon. A food vendor is usually there if you want to picnic on the grounds. You can bring your own picnic, or buy from the vendor. Bocce ball court, a beautiful California wine country historical mural wall is a new point of interest. Very relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff and great wine.
