to & from

From the Bay Area, it is an easy jaunt up 101, and just over an hour to your destination. The perfect weekend getaway. Otherwise, fly into SFO, rent a car, and again, a relatively short drive north.

Where to Stay

  • Hotel Healdsburg is the best hotel in town, very hip and located next to Dry Creek Kitchen with a great spa.
  • H2 Hotel is also a good bet if you are a little more cost-conscious (sister property of Hotel Healdsburg)
  • Cottages at Healdsburg for a more intimate stay.
  • VRBO and AirBNB are also good bets for a group. There are lots of great houses available with pools!
