Getting There
Healdsburg is approximately 80 miles Northeast of San Francisco which is the nearest major airport. In our many trips to Healdsburg, we’ve found the quickest and easiest route is to fly into SFO, rent a car from the airport (where prices are reasonable), and drive to Healdsburg. Note that traffic can get bad leading into the weekend and during rush hour. Alternatively, there is a small airport in Sonoma County (Charles M. Shulz Airport).
If you’re interested in car-pooling or renting a car with other guests, please let us know. We’re happy to connect people so you can take advantage of the HOV lane and share rental cars!
For more information on getting to Healdsburg, check out their chamber of commerce website.
Getting Around
Healdsburg has a walkable downtown, with restaurants, tasting rooms, boutique hotels and galleries lining the town square. The Best Western Dry Creek Inn is approximately one mile from the town square and is an easy 15 minute walk. Uber and Lyft are plentiful and a great option if you’re staying a bit farther out.
Getting to and from wineries and vineyards requires a car and navigating windy two lane roads. If you choose to drive yourself/group for a day of tasting, please taste responsibly and make sure to eat in between tastings! If you want to avoid getting behind the wheel, drivers and tours are a great option. You can plan your own itinerary and hire a driver, or work with a tour company that will plan the itinerary for you. Some options include:
- Designated Drivers provides you with a private driver, however you chart the itinerary and the pacing.
- Napa Sonoma Wine Tasting Driver similarly offers drivers for a per/hour fee and you plan the itinerary. Drivers can drive your car or provide a car for an additional fee.
- Destination Drivers will drive your rental and follow your itinerary.
- Healdsburg Tours is a full service tour company offering party buses and a more guided experience.
