Top 10 Things to do for Honeymoon in Healdsburg, California (CA)

December 10, 2021 Alida England

Beautiful Northern California has many fabulous destinations, and the town of Healdsburg in Sonoma County is at the top of the list. Small town charm, beautiful landscapes and outstanding weather are just a few of the trademark qualities that make Healdsburg so popular. Healdsburg combines five-star cuisine, rolling hills and world-acclaimed wine growing appellations for an experience you will never forget. If you love the vibrant outdoors and colorful festivals, you will love Healdsburg. In April, you can help harvest roses and distill them into fragrant rose oil and rosewater as part of the Classic Perfume Rose Harvest & Distillation Tours. An annual sea food dinner at the Healdsburg Fire Department is also in April. From February to June, enjoy the "Russian River Good Old Days" exhibit at the Healdsburg Museum. And on the first Friday of the month, Williamson Wines sponsors an Epicurean Dinner at the Dry Creek Kitchen at Hotel Healdsburg.

It's always a spectacular time at AVV! The combination of a great variety of solid Alexander Valley wines to try (love the Redemption and the Cyrus), idyllic, quiet country scenery, and really really nice people make it top shelf. The property is beautiful, picnic tables make it a great place for a snack mid-day, and the wine-cave tour is really cool if you get the chance. You will be coming back for more!

We met Darren at the nightly wine tasting at The Healdsburg Inn (another great stop) and were invited to the winery for a private party. He put forth the effort to make our experience an exceptional one. Oh, and the wine is pretty good as well.

Gary Farrell Winery

Open By Appointment Only. In the heart of the beautiful Russian River Valley, Gary Farrell Vineyards & Winery offers a proud 35-year winemaking history and a unique sense of place. Perched atop a ridge along winding Westside Road, the winery offers a spectacular view of the sweeping valley below. Gary Farrell Winery benefits immeasurably from its long-term relationships with many of the Russian River Valley's most celebrated and sought-after vineyards including Rochioli, Allen, and Hallberg to name a few. Gary Farrell Winery helped put Russian River Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on the world stage, and the hallmark Gary Farrell wine style remains one of balance, elegance, texture and sense of place. Today these acclaimed wines can be enjoyed in their newly renovated Salon or upon the casual terrace and the view from the winery completes the picture.

Terrific views, GREAT wine and some outstanding cheese pairings at Gary Farrell. They were very responsible (social distancing) as well. We joined the Grand Cru before arriving, and the experience (and, did I mention, the wines? Just outstanding!) reaffirmed the decision. Can't wait until the next time!

Stephen & Walker is really kind of a unique winery experience. You can almost miss it while walking in downtown Healdsburg (and honestly a small selfish side of me wishes you would so I always know I can find a seat for a tasting of their latest). If you did walk on by, you would miss some of the best wines in the area. The tasting room is a modest retail space with comfortable furnishings and quirky art. Nancy Walker and Tony Stephen are the winemakers and had spent decades producing great wine for other labels before starting their own in 2004. It's not uncommon to have one of the owners or their sons pouring. The staff is amazing and make you feel at home immediately. I'm not able to get up there as much as I would like, but every time I go back I feel like I have been truly missed. So, the people are awesome and if the wine was just okay, it would still be worthwhile to visit just for that customer experience. But the wine... My god, the wine. I've been a Pinot fanatic for over a decade and these guys produce several Pinot's that are in my top five. And their Cabs are legendary. Try their Howell Mtn. Cab and tell me I'm wrong. I dare you. Honestly though, they don't produce bad wine. Their Syrah's, Zins, Carignane, Ports (and I don't even like port) are stunning - every one. I'm not really a regular white wine drinker but those are over the top as well. Their late harvest Chardonnay is a 'can't miss' for a friend of mine any time I'm looking for a gift. I'm sure I sound a little too enthusiastic about these guys. The fact is, I walked into their tasting room almost ten years ago and was so blown away by their wines that I joined their wine club and have been a loyal member ever since. So, go there. Like now. Just promise to make some room for me when I'm able to make it back.

My family has always loved coming to Williamson wines. Whenever we visit, we feel like we're family here. The staff is so incredibly friendly and funny. The food and wine pairings are also fantastic. The truffle salt on cheese pairing is probably my number one fave. I highly recommend a visit if you're ever in the Healdsburg area.
