Start your day with a pastry and coffee from Costeaux French Bakery. The full-service bakery has served artisanal breads and other baked goods since 1923.

Have lunch at Healdsburg SHED. The James Beard award-winning restaurant serves up dishes made with local, seasonal ingredients. Make sure to try a beverage from the fermentation bar with your meal. Lunch costs about $25–30. Stroll through downtown Healdsburg and visit the quaint stores for shopping or browsing.

A trip to Healdsburg isn’t complete without experiencing local wine. Though there are many options to choose from, visit the tasting room at Selby Winery.
