Healdsburg Wine Country Travel Tips
Healdsburg is one of the great wine towns of California and is the perfect place to make your home base for exploring this western part of Sonoma County. Nearby are three famous wine Appellations: The Alexander Valley, the Dry Creek Valley, and the Russian River Valley. On WCG we have wine trails and maps for each of these spectacular wine growing regions. Healdsburg backroads are breathtaking. You will see Redwood Trees, the Russian River, rolling hills of vineyards, and of course wineries. What a delight! In Healdsburg and surrounding its famous Plaza, there are many wine tasting rooms. You can spend an entire afternoon sipping wine walking from one wine tasting bar to the next.
For dining, the Healdsburg restaurant scene is fantastic. Food critics rave about the varied cuisines and the fresh ingredients supplied by local purveyors. Outside of the town you find other favorites restaurants including the Farmhouse Inn and the Madrone Manor. There is plenty of lodging in town, but be sure to book early, Healdsburg is a popular destination for wine and foods lovers.
Most of the wineries in Sonoma have picnic areas. What fun it is to pack a lunch and picnic in the vineyards. Choices for buying your picnic goodies are Big John’s Market and the Oakville Grocery in Healdsburg, the historic General Store on Dry Creek Road, and the funky Jimtown Store on Highway 128 in the Alexander Valley.
There is much more to do in this area than exploring food and wine. Healdsburg has many boutique shops and art galleries. There are two golf courses or you can head to the resort town of Guerneville and hike among the Redwoods in Armstrong Grove State Park. During the summer months, the Russian River beaches are popular and a fun family activity. Many wineries have Bocce Courts, and that’s always another exciting thing to do.
Our Healdsburg planning guide is packed with all this information and much more. Spend some time with the manual planning your trip, and you are sure to have a fantastic time in Healdsburg wine country.

Discover Sonoma Valley Wineries HD 2012
WineQuesters.com brings you a brief overview of Sonoma County's Sonoma Valley Valley wineries. See what is there and why visit this wonderful wine region.
Sonoma Valley is anchored by Santa Rosa on the north end and the little mission town of Sonoma with its beautiful plaza on the south end. Between the two towns are a couple dozen wineries - all of them interesting. They range from tiny tasting rooms to some of the most beautiful monumental wineries anywhere. The wines are generally full of flavor and nose with long finishes that make wine tasting a treat. Inexpensive to high-end lodging and fine dining is available in Santa Rosa but for small town wine country ambiance try Sonoma.
