Grab the brochure, “Two Walks in Bridgewater”, which covers most of the historic buildings in Bridgewater including the Millers Cottage (1860), the Bridgewater Mill, the Bridgewater Inn, the General Store (1877) and the Old Police Station. Both walks are ideal ways to experience the beauty of the area.

The elegant Bridgewater Mill Restaurant provides exquisite meals and fine wine at this restored flour mill, where the giant waterwheel still turns. The Bridgewater Mill also houses the cellar door for Petaluma’s famous wines, and the cellars where the company’s sparkling wines are made. Enjoy wine tasting, and sit outside to dine while overlooking the spectacular waterwheel, or inside the renovated historic building.
