We stayed at the Ritz at Half Moon Bay while the wife worked, then a couple more days there. When we got to Healdsburg I was wishing we had moved up sooner! It was super charming and it seemed every other door on the square was a great restaurant or tasting room. Did a wine tasting at Lambert Bridge winery just a few minutes outside of town. Had a couple cases sent home. Cheers! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconator Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I lived in Northern California for 13 years. My favorite spots in Wine Country is Calistoga, and Sonoma. Calistoga is a really small town but built on hot springs. Go to one of the hotels in town and soak in a hot spring pool/tub. (The hot tubs fit like 30 people). In Sonoma, lots of local shops, tasting rooms, restaurants, and the home to the Northern most Spanish Mission in California. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Sonoma, lots of local shops, tasting rooms, restaurants, and the home to the Northern most Spanish Mission in California. We finished our trip years ago in Calistoga. Lovely! Home of Joe Montana I believe. We did the hot mud bath thing. Lordy! You get mud in every nook and cranny of your body! Once was enough. I still remember my last meal of that trip. We had been eating and drinking our way around that part of the state for an extended trip. We would often fill up on wine and amazing breads before the meal came out (I’m not generally a big bread guy, but WOW!). It was hysterical seeing couples come in 20- 30 minutes behind us and do the same thing! This was decades ago and I still remember those Kansas City style ribs being placed in front of me on the last night….and I wanted to throw up. I might have had one bite. Time to go home! Did you ever go to Healdsburg? It’s nicer now than Calistoga or Sonoma were then. By far. Nothing is cheap out there, but the hotel on the square might have been the most expensive nights we’ve ever personally paid for in a hotel room. Well worth it! I’d go back tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconator Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Honestly I've never been to Healdsburg. The only time it gets mentioned is when it floods, which unfortunately is quite often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife’s coworker waited 14 years to get in, and we happened to be there for one of the few times a year women are allowed in. It’s like summer camp for gazillionaires and artists and musicians! Thousands of acres with over 100 “camps” (often with outbuildings for live bands and commercial kitchens - we had a sit down lunch for 40) deep in the redwoods.

Over 100 “camps” with common areas and amphitheaters here and there. They have outdoor dining like Hogwarts with seating for 400 for breakfast. I’m not kidding. We had a terrific speaker before lunch, a fabulous sit down lunch for 40 at our little “camp” (with wine from my wife’s co-workers winery), then the big amphitheater for a show with 3 of the 4 main voices from a huge production (Phantom of the Opera?). We had to leave as the show amphitheater was filling up. Former Presidents and Kissinger belonged, along with guys like Jimmy Buffett. They have improv comedy between tech talks and Broadway music. 🤷♂️ Quirky does not begin to describe it. .
