Day 1: Arriving in Sonoma
Day 1 begins with your arrival in the vibrant city of San Francisco. Take some time to explore the city or hit the road straight north to Sonoma Valley. Head to Healdsburg and check into the charming Hotel Healdsburg. Healdsburg is an adorable small town on the north side of Sonoma valley. I would recommend your first tasting at MacRostie Winery. Their modern-designed tasting area is perfectly nestled into the hillside. Head back to downtown Healdsburg and consider stopping by Lioco, a tasting room brimming with local wines, to enhance your evening before making your way to Chalkboard for dinner where all the food is prepped with locally sourced ingredients.
Note: I also love staying at H2Hotel in Healdsburg.
MacRostie Winery Estate House

A beautiful, modern winery tucked right into the landscape of the hills. You are greeted with a glass of rose to start your tasting and it only gets better from there! Highly recommend.

Hotel Healdsburg
@katherineferguson
This is the best place to stay in Healdsburg in my opinion. The staff is incredibly kind and they just finished a renovation to over half the building. The rooms are just what you need for a few days in Sonoma with little touches like robes and slippers and room snacks.

LIOCO Wine Tasting Room
@katherineferguson
Not all tastings are at vineyards in wine country! This is a favorite tasting room of mine in Healdsburg. Pop in for a pre-dinner tasting in town.

Often traveling with my backpack and a pocket full of snacks, dabbling in budget and luxury travel. I'm always looking to discover hidden gems in new places and dive into local culture. Though most my days are spent on a bike, paddling a river or hiking through the forest, I love a relaxing beach day soaking in the sun and sangria. I call Jackson Hole, WY home but spend any free time I have exploring new places with friends, family, or solo. I'm a certified travel advisor so when you book hotels, expeditions, etc. with me, expect perks like upgrades, complimentary breakfast, and food and beverage credits. I'm here to plan your next girls trip, your honeymoon, a solo trip and everything in between. Let's adventure together!
