Forestville – Where Timber, River, and Bohemia Flow Together

Tucked into the northern stretch of the Russian River Valley, Forestville is a charming hamlet steeped in history and natural beauty. Named in 1867 after Andrew Jackson Forrester, a saloon owner turned town namesake, Forestville was once home to California’s first commercially operated sawmill, Cooper’s Sawmill—marking its importance in the early timber trade. Over time, the town's bohemian spirit blossomed—drawing writers, artists, and creatives seeking refuge in its tranquil forests and vineyards.

Today, Forestville is a vibrant blend of rustic charm and modern culinary acclaim. Its three-block “downtown” has evolved into a gastronomic destination, anchored by the Farmhouse Inn, which held a Michelin star for 14 years and continues to attract top chefs and epicureans alike.

Evoking this rich tapestry, the Forestville candle captures the town’s essence with refined Balsam & Bergamot aromas—a nod to crisp forest air, sun-dappled vineyard rows, and the meditative calm of riverside woods.

The fragrance opens with invigorating bergamot and juniper, evoking the sparkling freshness of shaded treetops. The heart blends aromatic gin, red currant, and a whisper of lavender and mint, conjuring the sensory memory of a vineyard breeze or a quiet moment by the river. A grounding base of balsam and earthy green leaves wraps this scent in warm, lingering depth—like the gentle hush of Forestville’s wooded hills.
