Answer four questions

Good to know

Where is the best Cabernet Sauvignon in Healdsburg?

Jordan Vineyard & Winery, Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery and Francis Ford Coppola Winery are the Healdsburg wineries best known for Cabernet Sauvignon.

How many wineries can you visit in a day in Healdsburg?

Three or four is the sweet spot: about an hour each, plus a proper lunch. Five is possible if the cellars are small and close together.

How do you get around Sonoma wine country without driving?

Private driver for the day (about US$95–150 per hour, 4-hour minimum); Small-group wine tour (about US$150–200 per person, full day); Walk the Healdsburg plaza (free). Every Grapevine itinerary lists these local options; book them directly.

When is the best time to visit?

Open year-round. Harvest runs mid-August to October; winter is quiet, rainy and the easiest time to get seated tastings.
