48 Perfect Hours in Healdsburg

Are you ready for another great day in Healdsburg? Assuming you've enjoyed some or all of the suggestions in "3 Hours to Scope Out Healdsburg" and "24 Hours to Explore Healdsburg", here's a patchwork of different activities for another day in Healdsburg. Mix and match them to create your kind of perfect day in Healdsburg.

All day Outdoor Activities

*Wine Country Bikes has an assortment of bike trips on their website. We've taken one of their trips and loved it...I ended up in the Sag Wagon for the last leg of the trip. My husband made it the whole way. Guests who've stayed at our property rave about trips they've taken with Wine Country Bikes.

*River's Edge Kayak and Canoe Trips on the Russian River  We do a canoe trip every summer. If you see a pair of red Keen's on the bottom as you float along, their mine! That's where we tipped over! See the article about Russian River Kayak and Canoe Trips on Visit Healdsburg.

*Have a Car-free Day around Healdsburg Plaza   Shop the stores, visit the Museum on Matheson Street, do some wine tasting, get coffee to drink in the Plaza so you can sit on a bench and people watch, do the self-guided Historic Homes Walk (get the map at the Healdsburg Chamber of Commerce), and visit the Hand Fan Museum on the north side of Hotel Healdsburg. 

After lunch, walk south on Center Street to the Selby Winery Tasting Room. We grow Zinfandel grapes for Susie Selby--they make our favorite Zin called Bobcat! Follow the Wine Road map to the cluster of wineries on Front Street near the river.  These small family owned and operated wineries--chat with winery owners about their wines.  

Half-day Activities

*Go back to one of the Wine Appellations you visited yesterday and visit a few more wineries. Use your trusty Wine Road map to plan your route.

*Buy picnic foods to take along and go to one of the wineries that has bocce ball courts. Eat lunch along with a bottle of wine from the tasting room. Play a game of Bocce Ball...it's okay if you make up your own rules. The Wine Road map tells which wineries have picnic grounds and Bocce Courts. If Bocce is too much like work, just eat, drink wine and breathe in the country air.

*Drive to Armstrong Woods and walk through an amazing redwood forest. It's about a 45 minute drive from Healdsburg.

*Like Peanuts and Charlie Brown? Visit the Charles Schultz Museum in Santa Rosa. 20-25 minute drive from Healdsburg.

Hope you fell in love with Healdsburg and it has become "your wine country."
