Morning: Ease Into the Day with Local Flavor
Start your adventure in the Healdsburg Plaza. This charming square is buzzing with cute boutiques, bakeries, and coffee spots. Grab a cappuccino and a fresh pastry at Flying Goat Coffee or Quail & Condor—your tastebuds will thank you.
If you’re in the mood for a heartier start, The Parish Café serves up Southern-inspired brunch with a California twist. Think beignets, po’ boys, and mimosas on the patio.
Late Morning: Explore & Wander
Take a stroll around the Plaza and pop into local shops like:
-
Gallery Lulo for art and design inspiration
-
Local shopping and stores for gifts and souvenirs!
Enjoy the slower pace and scenic streets—this is Wine Country, after all.
