Ambient rooftop in Healdsburg with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains…read more You walk into a beautiful tasting room on the first floor before heading up the elevator to the fourth floor rooftop. Once you step off, you make a right and enter the rooftop which has both indoor and outdoor seating. We were there around 5pm and it was quite windy - we had to make sure all the menus and napkins were secured and didn't blow away. We stopped for drinks and ended up ordering a couple bites as well. We ordered cocktails, the truffle fries, and the chicken wings. The cocktails were refreshing and tasted like they used fresh fruit juice. The truffle fries were also good, with just the right amount of truffle where you could still taste the potato. The chicken wings were tasty, but had a bit too much oil for my taste. Looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu.

If you are looking for a wedding venue in Healdsburg- look no further. When we stepped foot onto…read moreRu's Farm we met Lele and walked the grounds and knew this was the venue for us! The entire process was so easy from booking, communications, and vendor recommendations. We rented the Coop as well to get ready and it was such a perfect spot to be on the property but tucked away from the main grounds. Our guests continue to say how magical the wedding weekend was because of our venue! Guests walk through olive trees and into an open cocktail space with an abundance of flowers and fresh lavender. The ceremony site is under a beautiful large oak tree overlooking the Alexander Valley. The backdrop really sold me on why we had to get married at Ru's! Dinner was in front of the barn with twinkly lights. Then the dance party was in the barn where we also had lounge seating, and dessert! We had 140 guests which felt like just the right amount of people and the spaces all flowed nicely for it to feel like we could all be together the entire evening- without it feeling too large. We are still on such a high almost five months later and friends still tell us it was the best wedding of 2022! We cannot thank you LeLe and LJ for the best weekend!

Having our wedding at Ru's Farm was a dream…read more It was love at first sight, we knew immediately after stepping on the grounds that this was our place. It's beautiful and charming in a way that photos barely capture, but that's just the start of it. Lele, the venue owner was a joy to work with. We could tell how much love and care she puts into the space and that working with her would be the opposite of the cookie cutter, corporate experience we've experienced at other popular venues. She provided a thorough tour of the space, a really helpful preferred vendors list, and other wonderful tips and tricks. All the preferred vendors were top tier, and it ended up saving us a ton of time and we were guaranteed a high quality end to end experience. Other key benefits of Ru's: 1. The venue is available the entire wedding day which provides a lot of flexibility 2. There is a beautiful, 3-bedroom cottage on the properties that was perfect for getting ready 3. Unlike vineyards, this property has all the perks of a vineyard (oversees a vineyard) but also allows all types of alcohol (not just beer and wine) 4. The design of the space and the transition between different phases of the day (ceremony, reception, dancing, etc) was seamless This venue is a rare treasure, I would certainly suggest snatching a date before they are all gone.

I will definitely stop by and try out other cocktails and their food soon!

The checkered floor inside the venue adds such a fun touch to photos, and the view from the bridal suite is absolutely stunning.

We knew the moment we walked into the garden that Villa Chanticleer was where we were going to get…read moremarried. It spoke to us right away and during our tour it just kept getting better and better. The property is amazing and the building is rich with history and just as gorgeous. We were obsessed with the wrap around bar. That was the second huge selling point. Everyone we worked with was absolutely incredible. We were passed through a few different hands but every hand off was seamless and our information was always relayed with ease. We could not have had a more perfect day. Jaimie was incredible for keeping me in line when I was getting ahead of things and was quick to reassure me of any of my concerns. She was always available and ready for anything that came her way. Our wedding day was magical. It could not have gone any better. The building had a fresh coat of paint. The garden was in full bloom. I highly recommend anyone looking to get married in the spring and fall to check out the Villa. With a garden like that, you don't need to spend a ton on flowers!

No housekeeping service, the reason we were given was water use (for changing sheets). I agree they…read moreshould watch their water use, but It doesn't take any water to tidy up a room, make the bed, etc. I realize that hotels want to be like Airbnb, and not have to clean rooms every night, but that's why you go to a hotel--for full service. Just a bit too tired -- and lack of service for $1000 per night (that's with taxes and fees).

It was clean and bright. The pool, while I didn't partake, was cute. Not resorty, but fine. There were bocce courts, fire pits, a ton of outdoor seating, a gym. The rooms were large, the bed was comfy. They offer a free shuttle to downtown (although it's only about a mile) and I even spied some bikes. The complimentary breakfast was solid - eggs, turkey sausage, oatmeal, fruit, cereal, a bunch of fixings. Across the street is a Plank Coffee, which is delightful. I also forgot a toothbrush. They sent one up and when I opened the door a little robot name Rose gave me one! CUTE! Overall, a great stay. I'd stay again.

Our guide was wonderful and friendly, the horses were absolute gems, and overall this is one of the best trail ride experiences I've ever had. Getting the mountains, water, and some redwoods was fantastic! We were fortunate to be in a small group (us and two others). It made the ride feel more intimate. I rode El Negro and highly recommend. His gait is smooth! (He is a walking horse after all). My boyfriend rode Leslie who was a bit slow and liked to trail at the back but sure footed and a sweetheart. We ended the ride with a glass of wine overlooking the lake. This space is often use for weddings as well and I can absolutely see the appeal! I would love to go back some day!!

This hidden gem winery is tucked away in the beautiful Dry Creek Valley. It is absolutely gorgeous and provides an intimate and elevated experience that is definitely worth experiencing! If you are looking for an elevated experience in wine country, look no further! There is a garden area that overlooks the vineyards that we enjoyed during our food and wine pairing and the views were spectacular. They also have a cave as well as a RTV experience if you are looking for a unique private experience away from it all. The service at this winery is excellent! Some of the tastings are with Mary Roy herself and these experiences are extra special since she is the owner, chef, and winemaker. She is an incredible woman that excels at everything she does. Thankfully for me, that includes exceptional wine and food pairings! The food is flavorful and phenomenal and they even have bees onsite where the honey is used to make their amazing chocolates! You are in for a real treat with the food and wine pairings here! Highly recommend visiting Capo Creek Winery if you are in the Healdsburg area!

S E R V I C E: Parking was plenty and right when we got out of our car, we were greeted by Mary and taken to our table right away. We had the best view and we were the only couple at that time! We booked a food and wine pairing so we brought our hungry tummies! F O O D & W I N E : First course: Rosè with Sonoma greens, burrata cheese, and candied pecans. Second course: Playlist with coconut lime chicken. Third course: Grenache with Harvest Raviolini. Fourth course: Zinfandel with stuffed piquillo peppers. Fifth course: Open Mic with mushroom tart. Dessert: Syrah with lemon curd cheesecake. My favorite pairing was the third course and of course, dessert! O V E R A L L: I highly recommend booking a food and wine pairing here. It's very intimate, staff were very personable, they pay great attention to details, and they're dog friendly! Would love to come back for their wine cave tours!

This is a fun 9-hole course. I've been playing here for 11 years now, and they keep improving the…read morecourse. It offers 2 par 5 holes mixed in with 3 par 4 par 4 and 3 par 3 holes. The course is fun and challenging enough to keep you coming back. I love the staff. I am always greeted by name and with a smile. At the end of your round you can sit on the raised back deck that overlooks the course and parts of Healdsburg and enjoy a drink and some snacks. The practice range has been brought modern with computerized golf tracking machines that you can use to work on each club use or you can play distant courses virtually while actually striking the ball. There are even hosted events for the practice range. The prices are good and the events and instruction classes fill up fast. Don't miss out on this gem. You just feel good after you play this course.

I usually just go here to use the range. The range is three tiered with the new Toptracer system…read more Of course, range balls cost more now, but it's understandable. I rarely played golf here, because the course was always in poor shape and it's only 9 holes. Well, that changed about a week ago. A buddy and I were looking to get out for a quick round and he suggest Healdsburg. Sure, why not I thought. I was very surprised at the current shape/condition of the course. Very nice. I even went back for another 9 a few days later to get in some work. The course has some challenging holes. I think there are only two holes where you aren't dealing with elevation. Staff was very helpful, nice. Also something you don't see much anymore. Before they send you down to the first tee, there is a box with scorecards and pencils...but also plastic ball markers, a divot tool and tees. The round with cart was pretty reasonable and pretty quick if you go early enough. Good job HGC!
