Geyserville is an unincorporated community in Sonoma County,
California
, USA. Located in the
Wine Country, it is noted by
tourists for its restaurants,
bed and
breakfast inn, and
wineries.
Geyserville, located on the Rancho Tzabaco
Mexican land grant, owes its foundation to the
discovery in 1847 of a series of hot springs, fumaroles, and steam vents in a gorge in the
mountains of Sonoma County, California
between Calistoga and
Cloverdale
. This complex, which became known as The Geysers
, soon became a tourist attraction, and a settlement
grew up to provide accommodation and serve as a gateway to The
Geysers. It was initially known as Clairville but
subsequently renamed Geyserville. After the
San Francisco and North
Pacific Railroad was extended to Cloverdale in the 1870s, its
trains stopped in Geyserville.
Geyserville is located on
California State Route 128, close
to
US Route 101.
