Healdsburg
A trendy town where three major wine regions in northern Sonoma meet. Restaurants and tasting rooms cluster around the plaza in a relaxed atmosphere.
Healdsburg lies in northern Sonoma County, where the Russian River Valley, Dry Creek Valley and Alexander Valley come together. It is considered the most refined town in Sonoma. The central plaza is shaded by trees and surrounded by dozens of tasting rooms, chef-driven restaurants (such as the three-Michelin-star SingleThread), bakeries and boutiques. You can rent a bike here to ride the Dry Creek Valley and visit wineries, or go kayaking on the Russian River. It's about a one-hour drive from Napa Valley and also works well as a standalone base for an overnight stay.
