Located about an hour and a half north of the Golden Gate Bridge, California’s Wine Country is famous for a reason. Aside from the obvious appeal of it being a premier wine-producing region, the area is known for its phenomenal scenic beauty and culinary excellence. About 55 miles from Napa Valley is Healdsburg- a charming town in California that’s perfect for retail therapy, fine dining, and natural beauty.
In the heart of Sonoma County, Healdsburg is home to over 80 vineyards.
You definitely won't miss out on the wine experience if you opt to visit Healdsburg instead of Napa. The Healdsburg Plaza alone has 40 different tasting rooms! Many of the wines come from family owned businesses, and all are expertly crafted.
In addition to having some of the best wine in the world, this small town is also a well known culinary epicenter.
There are many incredible dining options in Healdsburg. The farm-to-table style of the local eateries provide lots of options for guests to choose from.

If you're someone who likes to shop, The Healdsburg Plaza can take an entire afternoon.
In addition to being charming to look at, this Inn offers a pool, free parking, and breakfast.
For a more laid-back experience in Wine Country, Sonoma has Napa beat. Sonoma offers more family-owned wineries, as well as Healdsburg’s small-town charm. This area is quieter than other frequently visited destinations in the region, but the dining and shopping experience is still terrific.
