June 3-6, 2022
Healdsburg, California
Nestled along the Russian River in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country, Healdsburg combines small-town charm, stunning vistas, and award-winning wineries with an eclectic mix centered around a charming town plaza lined with shops, restaurants, tasting rooms, galleries and bars.
As our home base for the long weekend, Healdsburg provides us ample time to sink in and experience walkable tasting rooms, cafes and the nearby river, while still allowing short drives to other attractions in wine country.
Wineries
With over 300 wineries in the Russian River Valley and 40 tasting rooms in Healdsburg alone, we have seemingly limitless options to unpack. Below are a few curated selections; however, the Directory offers a more comprehensive opportunity to explore the area and our tasting adventure.

HEALDSBURG
With 19 estate vineyards, the wines here run the gamut, from Alexander Valley Cabernet and Russian River Chardonnay to Italian varietals, but the main event here is the exquisite wine gardens.
