“Went for live music and had amazing bbq’d burgers made on the grill in front of me. Friendly staff, great food, excellent music. They were knowledgeable and able to accommodate my celiac requirements. Highly recommend!”

“The SingleThread team delivered the most exceptional hospitality we’ve ever experienced.

Every aspect of our two-night stay and dining experience exceeded expectations. My wife and I have stayed at many of the world’s top hotels and resorts, and this was the first time we’ve had a trip where every single touchpoint felt thoughtfully designed and flawlessly executed.

From the pre-arrival communication and concierge team, to the transportation arrangements, farm tour, personalized service, and countless small details throughout our stay, everything was handled with genuine warmth and care. The team made us feel less like guests and more like friends they were welcoming into their home.

The restaurant experience was equally remarkable. We’ve been fortunate to dine at many of the world’s best restaurants, and our dinner at SingleThread easily ranks among the best meals of our lives.

A special thank you to Kyle, Katina, Brianna, Alyssa, and the entire SingleThread team for creating such a memorable experience. In an industry where true hospitality is rare, SingleThread sets the standard.

We left already looking forward to our return.”

“I had not had such a good pizza in years! I am Italian and can honestly say that their Margherita is as good or better as any I ever had! I waited 28 years for this. We really needed it in West Sonoma county !”

“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.”

“Delicious and fabulous little cafe! Great service, brilliant food w fresh and delicious ingredients and a lovely neighborhood vibe. Great stop and not a tourist trap at all”

“We had a great prix fixe meal of 3 courses but the also offer 5 courses. No bad selections except for the cauliflower steak. I don’t think that is worth a steak or shrimp pasta but that is my opinion. Outdoor dining is available and they have heaters by the wall of sliding windows that open up totally he outside. Awesome deserts. I had the cookie butter cheesecake. I died and went to heaven.”

“I love this place! Especially the “us vs. them” side by side tastings of new world vs. old world European wines. The recent pop-up dinner with second staff was very well done!”

“Staff was super friendly and polite, quiet little burger joint with quality food, the burger was better than in n out the patties are kind of thin. Krinkle cut fries were decent and they serve more than enough! Someone said this was better than sequoia burger and right down the road however I’d rate this burger a 4 compared to the full 5 star sequoia burger in comparison”

“Excellent. The service was attentive and friendly, the chef was in the open kitchen talking to guests (and telling us how they make the ribs, OMG so good!) and every dish was thoughtful and truly delicious. Will make a reservation here every time we come to Healdsburg. An 11/10 experience in every way!!”

“Amazing view to eat lunch to! Love the organic, gluten free and dairy free options. Love this place!”

“Every bite was so good! We had the chili, Rueben panini, a salad and the Parmesan pasta salad. Views of the river while we ate made the visit even better. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!”

“Delicious wine and knowledgeable staff!”

“Top notch and the perfect setting for a getaway.”

“I have lived in Sonoma County for over 25 years and the Emeritus Pinot Noir is my favorite wine in the world. I have tasted many of the Napa and Sonoma wines and Emeritus is better than all of them.”

“Agave Mexican Restaurant has the best, most delicious dishes north of Marin. Delicious authentic homemade Mexican dishes. The best Mole sauce with almonds, herbs, chocolates, the best Mole sauce in the United States of America.”

“Valette is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out is an experience, not just a meal. The Day Boat Scallops en Croûte is an absolute showstopper—encased in a delicate, golden pastry, it arrives at the table with a dramatic tableside pour of velvety sauce. The result? A perfect balance of buttery richness and ocean-fresh sweetness. Another amazing is the Sashimi Grade Hawaiian Ahi Poke Style. This is not your ordinary poki as it is made with 24 Month Barrel Aged Soy. The level of freshness of the fish truly comes through as the flavors blend perfectly with the crisp avocado. It is a fine line when adding a flash fried avocado to a dish that’s usually served cold. Vallete executes it perfectly! For the main course, the Dry-Aged Duck is a must-try. Crispy skin, succulent meat, and a medley of locally sourced seasonal veggies. Dessert is not an afterthought here. Strongly Suggest even if we do not have room at the end we always order the ItsNotA ‘Snickers Bar’ Deux. Service is impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and the staff exudes genuine passion for the food and wine they serve. We love the whole team but especially Aaron-Jake-Sean-Isaac are amazing !?!?”

“We came to Bricoleur Vineyards for a “Girls Gone Mild” bachelorette weekend, and while there are plenty of amazing wineries in the area, this one was everyone’s favorite.

The wine and food were absolutely top-notch (pro tip: order the Isla Rose Brut Rosé and the French fries, you won’t regret it!). What truly made the experience exceptional, though, was Anthony. He went above and beyond to make sure we had an incredible visit, helping us explore different wines, answering all of our questions, and even sharing recommendations for the rest of our trip.

The grounds are breathtaking, with gorgeous views and a welcoming atmosphere that made us want to stay all day. Anthony made us feel less like visitors and more like family.

We’ll definitely be back with our families on future trips. If Bricoleur isn’t on your itinerary, you’re missing out!

P.S. Ask for Anthony, he’s fantastic and deserves a raise in our opinion!”

“What a gem of a wine stop in a beautiful spot! Super unique wine cave with excellent varietals. We got a tour with the owner himself! Really amazing history of Sonoma county wines. All the way to the beginning! If you're looking for something unique and memorable, take advantage of this experience. You can just stop by and enjoy a bottle with friends in the beautiful Sebastopol outdoors next to the 9 hole golf course. Another affordable gem of West county!”

“Decent sushi but overrated. When we ordered the rolls, she offered snow crab instead of imitation crab. When the bill came, we were surprised there was$ 4 extra, but we were never informed in advance that there will be enough charge. We told the other staff person there but they did not adjust the bill. Edame did not come salted as requested. They fixed but had little taste. Miso soup was bland too.”

“Visited Thomas George Estates recently and had a wonderful time exploring the location in the Russian River Valley. The atmosphere was relaxing and inviting with kind attentive guides walking through the tasting room experience. It is one of the best local spots to visit if you are in the area since it feels so community oriented. The regional setting made for a peaceful outing without feeling rushed or commercial. Will definitely return.”

“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!”

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

“What an absolutely darling little place! Situated in a veritable paradise - a blossoming community garden, delicious food and coffee and wonderful service! A must stop when in Sonoma”

“I’m making a special trip from Illinois just to eat here. Gonna revolve our Vacation around the area. Looking forward to coming”

“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”

“We had such a lovely experience day tasting wine with the special food pairings. We will be adding this as necessary stop for our yearly gals vacation.”

“It was a good day even though it did get very windy. Our server was very personable and brought us wine we wanted to try. He was very nice and put the wine in our trunk for us.”

“I wish I had pictures. The perfect burrito is all I can say. Been eating here for years and it’s never missed. I literally can’t drive through town without eating here if it’s open.”

“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.”

“Sean was delightful and educational during our wine tasting. The wines are superb, we loved learning about the terroir from which they are grown, and the different personalities that each winemaker brings to the table. Absolutely worth a visit when in Healdsburg”
