Healdsburg Day One: B&B


I go up to Healdsburg a lot, as I'm member of a couple wine clubs and it's a great getaway from the city. Only about an hour drive north, and with plenty of things going on in and around Healdsburg, it can be enjoyed as a week-long base for all types of activities to as short as a daytrip.

Recently, we went up for a weekend and stayed at the Haydon Street Inn. This great Victorian b&b is located a couple blocks off the main square. With well-appointed rooms (each with its own unique touch), fireplaces, and jaccuzzi tubs built for two, it's an excllent spot. One of the owners is a former chef at Churchill Downs and creates excellent snacks to be enjoyed during the daily wine tasting where you can meet the other guests.

The highlight of the Haydon Street Inn is a three-course breakfast. While we were there, we enjoyed some freshly baked pastries, a refreshing fruit salad, and a delicious eggs benedict, all served with your choice of coffee, decaf, or tea.

We'll be staying there again in September!
