50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Healdsburg

“Love this place. Such delicious food and healthy options. I will continue to drive 30 minutes for this place. I get the plaza plate and choose my own meat, bread, etc. Love that they work with my substitutions. Staff are also very nice and attentive. It has become our regular weekend spot.“

“We have been members since 2019 and I highly recommend visiting! Not only are the sparkling wines absolutely delicious (my favorites are the sparkling syrah and mataro followed by the sparkling grenache) but it is also beautiful to sit outside. The staff have always been lovely. I highly recommend at least visiting if not becoming a member.“

“Such a beautiful winery I do wine tours and have visited many times and clients love Bella“

“amazing wines, the owners are super personable and helpful, the charcuterie and the sangria were delicious!🍷🥂 5 star by far⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“This place is beautiful and there was a sweet feeling of calm and tranquility. Drea was the absolute best! She is very well-versed on the Winery, its products, and the Jackson Family. Loved her stories, her jokes, and her delightful demeanor. I can't wait to go back for another visit.“

“Experience is superb! This family winery is large sale but still very close to their hearts. Katie, Hank, Linda and Harry were amazing hosts. Their winemakers were very busy yet still open to answer questions. Highly reccomend!“

“Hi… 4 of us were old time wine tasters. 2 never experienced wine tasting before. Darren gave the new guests a full tasting experienced. While he poured a variety of your best wines to satisfy an experienced tasters pallet. I joined your club and carried out 12 bottles of yum to go. Great experience. We will be back.“

“Had lunch for the first time here today, a delicious one! The menu is huge, so I look forward to trying so many of their authentic dishes. Happy to have them in Healdsburg. -Ali Story“

“Had a wonderful tour and tasting with Kat. Loved the history, philosophy of the winery/vineyard and current wine making practices. The food and wine pairings were spot on. Our entire grow up (6 in all) lives EVERY wine we were served which usually doesn’t happen. It was all so well balanced and smooth and just extraordinarily made. Truly a treasured find.“

“Fun time. Awesome grounds too.“

“Porter Creek Winery was such a peaceful gem and one of the highlights of our wine country trip. The team (Crystal) went above and beyond to accommodate us, even staying a little late so we could enjoy the experience — and we’re so grateful they did!

The setting was absolutely stunning — quiet, serene, and surrounded by natural beauty. It was the kind of view that makes you want to take a deep breath and stay a while. The wines were just as memorable, especially the Zinfandels — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced.

To top it all off, we were greeted by Poppy, the sweetest dog who made the whole experience even more charming. Between the warm hospitality, the incredible wines, and the peaceful ambiance, it was the perfect way to wind down our day.

Highly recommend Porter Creek for anyone looking for a relaxing, intimate tasting experience with a personal touch.“

“We had a fabulous visit to Limerick Lane Cellars! The setting was intimate and gorgeous. Andy set us up with a table between the stacked barrels in the barn with the door open to the beautiful autumn vistas of vines. We enjoyed the wines so much we took some back to our airbnb and shipped more home. Andy was enthusiastic and informative not only about the wines, but the history of the vineyard - it was one of our favorite visits in wine country this year.“

“Amazing salads, smoothies, and treats - all made with the highest quality organic ingredients and designed with nutrition in mind. My favorites are the cool beans salad with crunchy toppings and house-made ferments, the chopped salad, and midnight maca smoothie with almond butter, banana, and blue spirulina. The chai is heavenly too. And, the ingredients are clean - no seed oils, not gluten, etc. Additionally, the owners and employees are all wonderful. It is dog friendly and your pup will be welcomed with love and treats. Can't say enough good things. There are even cute little window nooks to sit and people watch :).“

“Loved the wines and loved the staff. Kyle is a gem.. super friendly, knowledgeable, entertaining and non-intrusive at the same time. Soda Rock is a hidden gem and I would highly recommend people visit this winery. The cabs are quite amazing for the price point and the atmosphere is laid back and relaxed. Loved it.. will definitely be back and thanks again Kyle! You made our evening much more memorable.“

“We had aof group of 8 do a tasting. Tasting was $25 per person and we tasted 6 wines. Ali is extremely knowledgeable about all wines with her past experience. I have done over 100 wine tasting in addition to numerous barrel auctions. This was one of my top tasting experiences. The passion Ali and Eric have put into their wines shows up in the quality of each wine we tasted. One of the more unique wines we tasted was the Brave, named for cancer survivors. I have tasted many rose' wines but the Brave was more rich and full bodied. Would go great during the holiday's and with appetizers. We bought all the varietals and plan on enjoying sharing them with friends. Working on planning another visit soon“

“2nd time to Kokomo. What a great place. Amazing wine and staff. We were lucky to get Rob for our tasting. Unlike the crowded big name vineyards in Napa, Kokomo is a gem where they treat you like your the only people in the world and not a number. If you are in Sonoma/Healdsburg and don't go there you are missing out!“

“A beautiful property with excellent wines. How exciting for Healdsburg to have an establishment experimenting with lesser-known indigenous Italian varietals. I appreciated their approach to making these wines to be paired with food (the Italian way) and enjoyed the lighter, lower alcohol, elegant touch to the winemaking style. It is a breath of fresh air to find a producer like this in California. In their beautiful tasting room, you will find a wide array of imported Italian goods from art, ceramics, candies, food, and ingredients. I enjoyed the display of the different regional flags from the various regions of Italy. Many people don't realize that Italy was only unified in 1861 and how unique the individual regions are. I see the effort made by the Orsi family to demonstrate this on their property. For the locals, beyond the wine, you find some of the best products from Italy. Grazie Mille.“

“So good! The Lox Toast was excellent and the super seed bread was to die for. I’d love the recipe.“

“Interesting tease, and very many delicacies“

“Every time we dine at Baci Café & Wine bar is a memorable one.  The food is delicious. The atmosphere is relaxing and inviting, and the staff.... Well, I can't say enough about the staff. Thank you for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend anyone looking for good food, and a relaxing evening to cap off any day choose Baci. It's one of our go to places in Healdsburg. Two thumbs up!“

“Beautiful tasting room and property. Probably the nicest sit down side by side we did all trip. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, Bri was great!

I felt the wines were not as impressive here compared to other wineries we visited. I felt bottle prices were high. Could just be me though (not super experienced).“

“First class wines! Very knowledgeable staff! Beautiful views!“

“Hunter provided in depth information about the vineyard as well as each of the wines we tried. It's by appointment only, but part of the wine club, if you're lucky enough to be a member already. Really liked the discussion on how Talty lets the earth and nature do the work, instead of trying to maximize yield as many others do. Looking forward to returning in 6 months for another tasting and allocation.“

“Everyone was so friendly, not sure if I’m just used to hostility from bar tenders in San Francisco but I had a really good time here. Live bands, good taps, and the music after the band was good too. Great parking situation. A bit more alternative / punk than the rest of the town in my opinion!“

“Located towards the back of an industrial park in Healdsburg sits a hidden gem. When you’re tired of wine tasting or if you truly love a unique experience come and try some amazing craft distilled liquor.

Tim and Shennon make some of the finest spirits I have ever tried.

The Highlight for me on this visit was the Hobs Heavy barrel aged gin, it’s truly exceptional.

The Sherry cask and Port finish bourbons are nice additions to their lineup. They have a wonderful single barrel 4 year 4 grain mash as well.“

“I thought this winery was totally awesome, Tony was very knowledgeable and helpful. The tastings and the food pairings were great. He went above and beyond what we expected, highly recommend.“

“They had 21 Pinot Noirs and one Chardonnay which was their first endeavor with that grape. They hit a home run with it. I was even able to get a chilled bottle, just what I was looking for on a hot day. The Pinots were all good, some very dry, some not so much but not jammy.“

“Thank you for the amazing experience and your flexibility. We enjoyed your beautiful property and the delicious wine. We will for sure be back.“

“Really great wines! Each wine is such a thoughtful & unique expression of the vineyard it represents. Congratulations on critical acclaim!“

“Great Wine! The Pinot Noir is wonderful and this Year the Chardonnay is out of sight!“

“We came here on a Platypus tour. Very happy we did! Historically, Saini have sold the majority of their grapes to other wineries, but their on site production is growing. Still quite small at 2,000 cases. Great family history on the winery. Beautiful day for a tasting and a winery tour!“

“The tasting room is housed in a lovely, broad building with walls of glass and attractive architecture. There is a raised back patio, but I was glad to see that tastings were held on the front lawn and garden this hot Saturday afternoon. It offers shadier spots, and I chose one along the path that felt like my own cozy corner among the plants and butterflies.

It was still hot under the umbrella! But the tasting room staff kept my water carafe filled.

A few wines stood out among this tasting of five, with two bonus wines offered by the staff: Mazzocco Stuhlmuller Chardonnay Reserve 2022 and Mazzocco Seaton Zinfandel Reserve 2022.“

“Visited this area for a long weekend and this was our first stop for wine, conveniently located next to our air bnb. We loved the wine and Jennifer was a wealth of wine knowledge. She showed us great hospitality and gave us recommendations on the area. We loved Jane Bond, who was such a sweet cat, and loved this small winery. Gorgeous location and we will definitely be back.“

“Came here on a Tuesday around noon to try the "block stars" tasting flight. I ended up being the only customer till about 3 and had a great time getting to know Pam in the tasting room and learning more about the history of the vineyards! The wine was great (especially the sparkling pinot noir) and their location is perfect for sitting out on the back patio to enjoy the vineyards and mountains. Definitely a great stop!“

“Beautiful day to enjoy great wine.“

“Great wine and great name. Good job family!’“

“Amazing winery. Probably one of my favorite experiences in recent memory was spending time at this winery during our trip to Sonoma. It is beautiful and peaceful. The service is top notch. The cellar wine tasting was fun, entertaining, with a delicious assortment of food pairings along with the wines. I highly recommend visiting Lambert Bridge. We will definitely come back here.“

“My friend and I stumbled across this hidden gem winery while biking. Colin graciously gave us an impromptu tour and tasting! He was very knowledgeable, sharing his insights on Zinfandel history and the Sonoma wine region. The two Zinfandels, Chardonnay, and Cab we tried were wonderful. The ambiance was relaxing and perfect. Don’t miss this stop!“

“If you’re visiting wine country in North Sonoma County, be sure to stop by this establishment. I rarely post reviews, but if you’re hungry for lunch, do yourself a favor and have one of their sandwiches. I had the French Dip and it is seriously one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. Top it off with a hazy IPA from the bar immediately next-door and attached to the general store or any beverage of your choice.“

“Come for the wine, stay for the beautiful grounds!

I proposed here a few weekends ago (she said yes!). I couldn't think of a more beautiful, intimate place! The tasting room has a beautiful view of the vines below the mountains, stunning in the afternoon sun. There is an area with some picnic tables below a clump of redwoods. And the gardens are the highlight for sure, gorgeous, well tended, and we got to sample a few kinds of figs along with our charcuterie!

We really enjoyed their GSM and seeing the wine in the making! Special thanks to Julia, she helped me find the perfect spot for the proposal and just went so much out of her way to make sure we had a time we'll remember for the rest of our lives! We'll definitely be back!

And be sure to say hi to Sir Winston!“

“We had a wonderful experience tasting the Merriam wines today and touring the vineyard with Peter Merriam . It was a pleasure to learn about their certified organic growing practices and their beautiful wines. We highly recommend a visit here.“

“Best espresso beans in Sonoma county! ...I buy ‘em and pour ‘em into my Jura machine at home“

“One of the best roasters in California, hands down! The people are amazing and hand craft delicious drinks, all while the roasting is being done a few feet away. Highly recommend stopping in and leaving with a bag or two of beans along with your brew!

Parking: Strip mall with lots of daytime spots“

“Great wines. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.“

“Matrix Winery is located on a beautiful property just outside of Healdsburg in northern Sonoma County. Like many of the wineries in this region, pinot noir is a specialty of theirs, but zinfandel and chardonnay are also strong contenders. I was a member for the last three years, and each bottle was quality.

One of the reasons I joined Matrix’s wine club is how much I love their outdoor patio and its view. It's also an affordable tasting at $25. Don't hesitate to ask if you want to taste something other than straight pinot or zin, too! I quite liked a recent 50-50 petit sirah and zinfandel blend.“

“Donuts are creative and fun, they come out warm and are so good. The music in there is far too loud, and I’m young lol. It’s so loud you can’t hear the person next to you, and the songs are cringy 2010 songs, I would say that was the worst part of our experience. They also called our names, but we never heard so we sat there for way longer than we needed to waiting for our donuts. If the musics was turned down we probably would’ve heard our names been called and gotten our donuts hot instead of warm. Like honestly the music ruined the whole vibe for us. I would try them again.“

“Great wines and good prices. Small indoor cellar bunker type tasting room, but tons of outdoor seating and 2 bocce ball courts (with instructions). Creek access for kids, and complimentary popcorn topped with estate olive oil. Thanks for hosting us!“

“We enjoyed our visit. The team there spent time with us but not too much - leaving us alone to enjoy our time. Luke, Isaiah, Felicia thank you. Thanks for the “comparison” tastings. We tried a few of our favorites when we were in Napa and based on our time there - this will remain one.“

“It’s grate for the weekend“
