Dining in Healdsburg for Christmas Dinner and the Holiday Season

Sonoma County is a wonderful place to spend the holiday season, and Healdsburg offers a number of excellent dining options to celebrate in style. Whether you are looking for a traditional Christmas dinner, festive events or gourmet tastings, California wine country offers an incredible selection of holiday restaurant ideas.

A highlight of the holiday season is the annual Healdsburg Dine Around event on December 2-3 and 9-10. Guests can stroll through charming downtown all lit up for the holidays as they visit four unique restaurants for a progressive multi-course dinner. It's a great way to sample the gourmet offerings at several restaurants in one night. As Christmas Day approaches, many of these same restaurants will be offering delicious holiday menus. Participants this year include Barndiva, Chalkboard, Mateo's Cocina Latina and Café Lucia.

Another great way to explore Downtown Healdsburg is the "Holidays in Healdsburg: Sip, Savor and Shop" walking tour. Revel in small town ambiance as you learn about gourmet food and California wine with the help of an expert. Offered only during the holiday season, this is a fun way to combine gift shopping with experiencing a taste of Sonoma County. Led by a resident gourmand, you'll visit three boutique wineries and two local food shops where you can pick up everything from famous wines to artisanal chocolates. It's the perfect way to spend a holiday afternoon in Healdsburg!
