Spring in Wine Country | A Colorful Guide to Healdsburg in the Spring

Spring in Wine Country is a gorgeous time of year.  Yes, we have had some rainy days but it has made the hills turn green, we have experienced an explosion of wildflowers where the scars of the fires last year were, and the vines are budding!  With warmer weather on the horizon now is a perfect time to plan your trip to experience spring in wine country and we have the perfect seasonal guide for your trip to our favorite little town, Healdsburg, CA!

Willi’s Seafood and Raw Bar

403 Healdsburg Ave

 

Willi’s has long been a favorite of ours in Healdsburg.  Their focus is on seafood and their raw bar (I guess you couldn’t guess that by the name… huh?) but they also have some amazing small plates on offer as well.  Grab a seat at the bar and watch the masters work as they shuck oysters in front of you, put together amazing seafood plates, and create some of the best ceviche we have had this side of Lima.

Or on a gorgeous day snag a seat on their patio with friends. Open a few bottles of wine and be sure to order the ooey, gooey, delicious melted cheese and chorizo topped with pesto and served up with not house made corn chips.  This is our go-to restaurant during spring in wine country no matter the weather.
