Vichy Springs Resort California

Vichy Springs Resort in Ukiah, Mendocino County, California, is one of North America's oldest continuously operating mineral spring resorts, where naturally carbonated bicarbonate springs — similar in composition to the famous Vichy springs of France, hence the name — have attracted visitors since 1854, including Mark Twain, Ulysses Grant, and Theodore Roosevelt who came to take the waters in the redwood-framed Ukiah Valley. The naturally effervescent mineral water, bubbling with dissolved CO₂ in a fashion unique among California hot springs, is used for both drinking and bathing in a historic resort of Victorian-era cottages and mineral pools, within a long thermal tradition. The surrounding Mendocino County wine country, California's fastest-growing premium wine region with exceptional Pinot Noir and Zinfandel from the Ukiah Valley appellations, creates a wellness-and-wine pairing destination of genuine California agrarian charm.
