Travel + Leisure recently featured Amista Vineyards in its article, “This Tiny Town Is the Jewel of California Wine Country, With Some of the World’s Top Restaurants and Resorts.” We couldn’t agree more with the magazine’s affection for Healdsburg. It’s a wonderful introduction to our charming town and all it has to offer.
We were especially honored to be featured not once, but twice. With so many outstanding wineries in Sonoma County, it was a privilege to be included among the five wineries the magazine highly recommended for a visit.
The article also highlighted our vineyard walk, where you can stroll through our certified organic vineyards while learning about the Rhône varietals we grow and the sparkling and still wines we craft from them. Along the way, you’ll discover the story of our majestic 250-year-old oak tree and the restoration of a portion of Dry Creek to help preserve habitat for Coho salmon and steelhead trout.
The article beautifully captures many of the things visitors love about Healdsburg—its charming boutique hotels, exceptional restaurants, outstanding wineries, and abundant outdoor activities. It’s a wonderful guide for anyone planning a visit.
When you visit Healdsburg, we would love to welcome you to Amista. Relax on our solar-powered patio overlooking the vineyards and the oak-studded hills of Dry Creek Valley while enjoying our sparkling and Rhône-style wines. If you’d like to explore a little farther, join us for our half-mile vineyard walk. Children and well-behaved dogs are always welcome.
Reading the article inspired me to write my own companion piece from a different perspective. If you’re planning a visit and would like to experience Healdsburg the way a local does, I invite you to read A Local’s Guide to Healdsburg, where I share some of my favorite places, traditions, and the little moments that make this wonderful town feel like home.
