The region stretches from the cool and rugged coastline to the warm and sunny inland valleys, with everything from quiet backroads to popular wine routes in between. It\u2019s a beautiful, sprawling patchwork, but if it\u2019s your first visit (or if, like my husband and I, you only have a limited amount of time), it\u2019s a good idea to stay somewhere that offers a little bit of everything.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">For us, that place was <strong>Healdsburg<\/strong>. After a few days shivering our way through Bodega Bay\u2019s brisk coastal weather, we were happy to head inland for some much-needed sun on our final stop. This charming yet undeniably sophisticated town sits right at the meeting point of three major wine regions\u2014Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, and the Russian River Valley\u2014making it the perfect base for tasting, dining, and exploring without spending half your day in the car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">We were there in the summer, but no matter the time of year, every season has its appeal, from lush summer landscapes and golden autumn light to crisp winter mornings and blooming spring landscapes. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Here\u2019s how we made the most of our single day in and around Healdsburg.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>Settling In<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">We checked into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotelhealdsburg.com\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Hotel Healdsburg<\/strong><\/a>, and immediately fell in love with its warm sophistication and unfussy contemporary design. I loved how it sits right on the town square, just steps from restaurants, shops, and tasting rooms. We could easily explore the town on foot\u2014a big plus for a city gal like me who loves to walk everywhere. My only complaint with our room was the lighting. It was a bit too dim, even for my sensitive eyes. But the bathroom had great lighting, which made up for it. <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>Plant-Based Delights<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">For lunch, we had booked a table at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.littlesainthealdsburg.com\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Little Saint<\/strong><\/a>, a bright, inviting space that feels like a huge living room. There\u2019s a coffee bar, wine lounge, and a cozy 100% plant-based restaurant. I enjoyed the Kale Caesar with avocado, which was crisp and flavorful, but not very filling. I should\u2019ve ordered more, but after eating it, I was feeling antsy to get outside and explore the town. Joel went for a waffle topped with chocolate \u201cice cream.\u201d He liked it, but didn\u2019t love it. (He\u2019s not quite ready to give up milk and eggs!) Still, we both agreed the creative, casual atmosphere was worth the visit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sonoma is one of those places that\u2019s impossible to take in all at once, and getting to know it takes more than one short visit.
