Sometimes a day trip isn’t enough! In this series, we explore individual cities in the Sonoma and Napa Valley and recommend great spots to visit during the day, into the evening, and even beyond. First up, a look at Healdsburg.
Healdsburg sits at the crux of three world-class wine-growing regions, the Russian River, Alexander, and Dry Creek Valley. Similar to Sonoma in format, Healdsburg has a historic downtown plaza lined with tasting rooms, restaurants, and shops. A standout amongst many is SHED, the legendary food emporium that features a cafe, pantry, and outdoor wood-fired grill. Beyond this, there’s Bear Republic, a classic brewery serving up Racer 5 IPA alongside burgers and bites, local cheeses and charcuterie. Just down the street is Studio Barndiva an art gallery and bar featuring eclectic collection of wire art, paintings, and sculpture.
