This Wine Hotspot Is Like Napa — Without the Crowds












It’s no secret: Everyone (except Carrie Bradshaw) loves Napa. But what if you could drink more wine, for less money, in a more laid-back setting? Enter Healdsburg, the crown jewel of California’s Sonoma County.

Nestled at the intersection of three separate wine regions, this charming town offers endless tasting opportunities, without Napa’s stuffiness or crowds. And when you’re ready to pretend this isn’t just a wine trip, there’s plenty else to do: Wander the picturesque town square, browse cute boutiques (don’t miss A/Muse’s vibrant home decor or Christy Lynn’s chic clothes), eat your way through farm-to-table spots like Barndiva, hike or bike amid stunning scenery, and relax at a historic mansion turned hotel. Oh, and did we mention it’s basically always sunny?
