Casari Ranch Where Land and Spirit Meet

Casari Ranch is nestled on 40 serene acres in Santa Rosa, California, backing up to the Laguna de Santa Rosa in the heart of the Russian River Valley — a sanctuary where sustainable farming, holistic healing, and community connection come together. Surrounded by hay fields, a nearly three-acre vineyard, and a diverse array of animals—including horses, sheep, goats, donkeys, and free-range chickens—the ranch offers a peaceful country lifestyle.

The ranch is also home to SkyHorse Academy, which offers Equine Guided Education and coaching programs, alongside a variety of other gatherings that nurture personal growth and connection.

Whether you're visiting for an equine guided program, a farm tour, or simply to experience the tranquility of the land, Casari Ranch invites you to reconnect with nature and yourself.

Getting Here

Casari Ranch is located in Santa Rosa, California, and is accessible from several nearby airports:

  • Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport (STS)
    Just 20 minutes from the ranch. A small, regional airport with direct flights from select U.S. cities.

  • Oakland International Airport (OAK)

  • San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
    Both are approximately 90 minutes south of Santa Rosa and serve as major hubs for domestic and international flights.

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are available in Santa Rosa and can easily get you to and from the ranch if you're staying nearby. Rental cars are also available at all three airports if you’d prefer more flexibility during your stay.

Landscape & Terrain

Casari Ranch sits in the rolling hills of Sonoma County, just outside Sebastopol. The landscape includes open pasture, gently sloping terrain, and clusters of old, gnarled oak trees. It's a mix of cultivated land and natural beauty, offering a quiet, spacious setting that supports both focus and ease.

October Weather

October in Sonoma County is generally mild and comfortable. Daytime highs average in the low 70s°F (around 22°C), with cooler mornings and evenings dipping into the low 50s°F (11°C). Rain is possible but infrequent, with occasional light showers.

We recommend dressing in layers and bringing a light jacket or sweater. A raincoat or umbrella is a good idea, just in case.
