Tallman Hotel: More than a boutique hotel that blends respect for history with an appreciation of modern amenities, the Tallman Hotel is Upper Lake's cultural focal point.  In addition to 17 rooms, some in the original 1896 structure, some in a cluster of contemporary outbuildings, the grounds include the Blue Wing Saloon & Cafe and a conference center, all of which double as the backdrop for frequent blues perfromances, winemaker dinners and the like.

Blue Wing Saloon & Cafe: Chef Mark Linback must own the most reliable set of wheels in Lake County.  Not only is he a popular catering chef among the county's far-flung wineries, but he heads up the kitchen at the county's most acclaimed restaurant, Blue Wing Saloon & Cafe.  There, in a dining room with redwood wainscoting, as well as on the spacious and well-shaded patio, he oversees a diverse California and Mediterranean menu with such dishes as pan-seared crab cakes, risotto fritters filled with sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese, and baby back ribs gleaming with his housemade barbecue sauce.  Every wine on the list, incidentally, was made within 30 miles of the restaurant.

History
Located on historic Main Street in Upper Lake, CA (2.5 hours north of San Francisco and west of Sacramento) The Tallman Hotel is a country inn that was originally built in the 1890s when Upper Lake was a stage terminus for visitors to the area’s many hot springs resorts.  Over the years, the hotel went through various name changes and eventually fell into disrepair.  The Tallman Hotel has now been lovingly restored and the adjacent “watering hole,” the Blue Wing Saloon, has been re-created and converted into a quality restaurant using historic photos to capture the original look and feel.
