“I have been going to River’s end restaurant for almost two decades and have always loved the experience. This time, I decided to stay a few days at the new Home collection lodging and the getaway was completely remarkable. I will make sure to come back more often in order to unplug and relax completely in this paradisiacal getaway.”

With a great options to the menu and even better dessert, this place has me waking up craving a burger every day

I feel like this is a hidden gem so if you’re ever in the area, this is a must stop”

“Great sourdough and she's always trying new things.”

“Top 3 things I loved: 1) breathtaking views of the valley and a peaceful atmosphere, 2) the warm and knowledgeable service during the wine tour, 3) the stylish décor and well‑crafted wine tasting experience. I had a wonderful time and will definitely return – one of the best wineries in Russian River Valley.”

“Amazing wine! Got 10 cases 🙈
Our server Reed was very informative, great convo & not just about wine! We talked about business ventures, martial arts (nun chucks!), breathing exercises, wrestling & He also told us the best way to get sparkling glasses (magic erasers!) & the best place to buy them wholesale! (Sponge depot!) He will be missed but we'll see him next visit! 🥂”

“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”

“Jimmy & John are amazing! Cocktails are heaven! Vibe & service beyond stellar! Thank you!!”

“My husband and I have decided this is the best bar ever. We met some locals who were gardening out front (literally gardening lol) and they made us want to go in immediately. Speaking of, if anyone knows the gardeners name we cannot remember for the life of us! Which may be due to the very strong drinks and amazing 90s dance pop music. We felt immediately at home, the bartenders were lovely, and we can’t wait to come back.”

“So good! The pulled pork slaps and they had a very tasty, interesting take on potato salad. The man taking our order was friendly, too. Stop by!”

“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.”

“They have MY favorite clam chowder on the bay.”

“Amazing wine tasting in a natural beautiful environment”

“Huria's Pizza catered for our wedding in August 2025 and we loved it!! Adriana was responsive, professional, and knowledgable when it came to emailing and planning logistics for the day. The pizza trailer arrived right on time and set up efficiently. My wife and I didn't even have to think about it! Their decorations and presentation complimented our redwood forest venue nicely. The food was delicious! We had three types of pizzas and two side dishes. The pizzas were freshly cooked. Chef Mohaimen and his team were able to feed 120 of our guests in a timely manner. I would strongly recommend catering with Hurias for your wedding or big event.”

“Yes the food is beyond amazing, presented beautifully, and the ingredients of dish are explained. You can dine in their sweet terrace, or inside at the bar and watch them create. BUT what puts this into the 10-star category is how genuinely friendly, real, generous, kind, fun and alive the staff and chefs are.”

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

“This place is so cute!! It was very clean and the staff was super nice and welcoming. There’s no indoor seating but lots of outdoor seating. I got a latte and a breakfast burrito and it was super yummy. I will definitely be coming back on my next trip. :)”

“Great food and lots of it. It’s all good but my favorite is minestrone. Filled with veggies in a wonderful tomato broth. I always get at least one quart to go to eat throughout the week. Don’t forget the cookies”

“Very great experience. My cousin and I tried the Hot Mama, I think it was called, a mushroom mocha. It was delicious and we enjoyed sitting in the garden on a lovely October day. The woman who helped us was really nice!”
