I haven’t spent much time in Healdsburg but I love Sonoma wine country and your photos make me want to go back – soon!
I really love all your photos as usual, but I think the first one of the flowers and the bridge as well as the vieyard are my favorites!
Looks like a perfect summer retreat.

Healdsburg is going to be our next wine country destination. Once again, I loved your photos. I look forward to seeing them every Monday!
We’ve visited Healdsburg – absolutely charming! Stayed at Madrona Manor. Mind you, we were more into the wines – so missed the chocolates unfortunately :-).
Thank you for the trip to Healdsburg! I have not been there in a few years, but I almost feel like I am there – sipping wine and shopping. Thanks for this!
Healdsburg looks like a beautiful place to visit, browse through and spend the day. Such a pretty little town!
It looks like an interesting mix of elegance, art, food and wine. What’s not to like? 🙂
Oh my, I’d need days to wander through this charming little town, including the beautiful vineyards. Love your capture of the manhole… indeed tres cool 🙂
Now that’s the kind of small town atmosphere that gives a sense of peace and tranquility. Even the fish on the manhole cover looks happy.
You had me at to die for chocolates – but agreed that Healdsburg area is a lovely area to explore, especially if you have time to just linger through the small towns, the shops, restaurants and the wineries.
Healdsburg looks like a beautiful spot to visit ( any town with an artisanal chocolatier gets my vote!) and it’s great to see you didn’t miss out on capturing a mural for your collection!
Very cute town, nice addition to a road trip.
Healdsburg looks like a great little town- the Scharfenberger sign caught my eye. I’ve been a big fan for years- discovered them when they first went national.
As a road trip blogger, I love anything to do with Main Street America, and your lovely photo essay on Healdsburg, CA, hits the spot.
Looks like a nice place to visit.
Love the man hole cover – that really is tres cool!
Loving those manhole covers 🙂 Though it makes me a little sad to think that people are dumping all sorts of things and need to be told not too. It just makes sense NOT to pollute, right?
Beautiful manhole cover 🙂
the wine country looks fabulous. I loved the street views too.
Shop till I drop would probably be what I would do here, unless there’s a well stocked book store:) Thanks for passing on the sites!
Organic modern and hip – my kind of place indeed. And that Dry Creek Valley is a big plus. Inviting photos as usual.
What a gorgeous little place. I would love to window shop here!
Noel, Thanks for linking up with Weekend Travel Inspiration!
