Healdsburg is in Sonoma County in the Bay Area (California) | Bay Area of California. It's lovely, quaint town that used to be an agricultural outpost. The three main areas of interest are the town plaza, around which you'll find boutiques, restaurants, and lodging; the Russian River; and the wineries along Westside Road and Dry Creek Road. The Healdsburg/Alexander Valley area is famous for its Zins, though you can't go wrong with goodies like sparkling wine from J Grapes, Pinot Noir from Porter Creek, and the famous Petite Sirah at Foppiano's.

Travel as a Muslim to Healdsburg

The best way to get to Healdsburg is to drive. Located about one hour and 15 minutes north of San Francisco, it's an easy get-away into the wine country. Take 101 north over the Golden Gate Bridge; there are three different exits into Healdsburg.

If you don't want to drive, some San Francisco companies specialize in wine country limo rides and buses, but you're likely not to have much time to just walk around Healdsburg if you go this way. If you want to reduce your driving, you can fly Alaska Airlines to Charles M. Schulz Airport nonstop from Seattle, Portland, San Diego, and Los Angeles, then rent a car at the airport, which is located in the nearby city of Santa Rosa.

How to get around in Healdsburg

If you're into wine tasting, you can drive or bike to various wineries, most of which are located on either Dry Creek Road or Westside Road. There are also bike and touring companies that offer various ways to visit the wine country, from limo rides to gourmet, speed-racing bike trips.

If you're just visiting the area, you can easily park on or near the Plaza and walk to most places in Healdsburg.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Healdsburg

• Wine tasting - Three wine appellations (growing regions) converge in Healdsburg: Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley, and the Russian River Valley. The scenery is beautiful and the vibe is laid back. If you know nothing about wine, people will remain friendly and in many cases go out of their way to educate you ... if you want. A fair amount of the wineries in the region are boutiques and produce small quantities of a given vintage; many times you can meet the actual winemaker or the winery owner. More conveniently (and conventionally), there are numerous wine tasting rooms in the center of Healdsburg, clustering around the Healdsburg Plaza.
• Eat gourmet food - As much as Healdsburg is a "wine town", it is just as much a foodie town. Madrona Manor, Zin Restaurant and Wine Bar, and celebrity chef Charlie Palmer's Dry Creek Kitchen are just a few of the top restaurants in town. There is a wonderful farmers' market on Saturday mornings (May through November) and Wednesday afternoons (June through October), as well as some incredible bakeries.
• Stroll along the Plaza. Surrounded by boutique stores, two bookstores, coffee shops, wine tasting venues, and lots of restaurants, the Plaza offers an excellent way to spend an afternoon.

• Healdsburg Prune Packers baseball - 515 Piper St - There's nothing like summer baseball!

• River's Edge Kayak and Canoe - 13840 Healdsburg Av ☎ +1 707 433-7247 - The Russian River has a few very small twists and turns, but otherwise a half-day canoe ride is a pleasant chance to check out the wine country from a different angle. Canoe-goers may need to get out and push (due to shallow water), so water-friendly shoes (for the rocky river bottom) are a good idea. it is best to go during the summertime when the city of healdsburg constructs an annual reacreation dam. There are banks at which to stop and enjoy a picnic and sun as well, so a swimsuit, a snack and some sunscreen may enhance one's trip.

• Wine Country Bikes - 61 Front St ☎ +1 707 473-0610 - Selected by Bicycling Magazine as one of the 7 Greatest Rides on Earth. Take a casual ride to in the Dry Creek or Russian River Valleys or challenge yourself with an epic adventure in the surrounding hills.

• Karaoke in the North Bay | 9 Mitchell Ln ☎ +1 707 433-4500 - Thursdays, 9 PM to midnight, at Wild Flowers Saloon.

Finally, do be respectful of local residents. Many if not most residents have been born and raised in the town. Thus, they have seen its transformation in the past few decades from a quiet village to a yuppie destination full of tourists. Do not block the sidewalks, do not double park, do not honk your horn, and please do not jaywalk.

• Willi's Seafood and Raw Cafe 403 Healdsburg Ave ☎ +1 707 433-9191 - Relatively new restaurant on the Healdsburg scene. Pretty hip without being over the top, and the variety of the menu is great. The restaurant is bustling, but you can still enjoy a conversation.
