Healdsburg, California

Healdsburg is located in northern Sonoma County. It is one of Northern California's wine capitals: three of Sonoma's most important wine-producing regions (the Russian River Valley, Dry Creek Valley, and the Alexander Valley) meet in Healdsburg.

Though the town was not founded during Mexican rule, Healdsburg is centered on a 19th century plaza that still provides an important focal point for tourists and locals alike.

Downtown Healdsburg is a tourist destination. It is a foot-friendly mecca for tasting local wines, fine dining, upscale boutiques, and art galleries. The galleries range from cooperatives to local one-artist storefronts and include the works of nationally and internationally known masters. Healdsburg hosts a jazz music festival each June, a farmer's market during summer Tuesdays and Saturdays, and a wide range of wine and food related events. The downtown is also a Wi-Fi hotspot.
