ealdsburg has been in a state of rapid evolution. There’s been a Cambrian explosion of wine consciousness and the businesses that serve this interest. Small towns, or technically “burgs”—it’s in the name, isn’t it?—often go through growing pains and awkward stages as they stretch and redefine. But Healdsburg is well past its adolescence, if not its sesquicentennial. The town seems to be experiencing a total rebirth, or to put it less natally, a renaissance. The rapid change is head-spinning, surely, for those lifers whose cradle-tograve plans for the place have given way to farm-to-table eateries with Michelin stars. But, as they say, change is good—or at least it’s inevitable. For those who have embraced it, consider this issue your handy guide. The following pages are more than mere listings. They’re the dividends and perks that make life worthwhile and— MEANWHILE The vineyard view from Jacobson Road is a pathway to the past and present. just as importantly—pointers on where to find them. Here you’ll discover the hidden gems and celebrated treasures of Healdsburg, a mosaic of culinary delights, artisanal craftsmanship and vinicultural mastery. From quaint boutiques offering one-of-a-kind finds to galleries that showcase the pulsating heart of local art, Healdsburg is an ever-unfolding tapestry of cultural vibrancy. Our guide peels back the layers of this charming town, revealing the best places to savor, explore and unwind. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned local, —DAEDALUS HOWELL, EDITOR prepare to be enchanted by the unique spirit healdsburgtribune.com of Healdsburg’s next chapter.

his conversation was overheard recently in the parlor of a Healdsburg B&B. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. “Oh, George. This has been such a wonderful trip. What shall we do on our last day?” “Well, Martha, we still have a couple of dozen restaurants to hit, excluding
the McDonald’s on the outskirts of town, and at least 67 wineries to visit.” “Oh, George. Man does not live by bread and wine alone.” “Don’t get biblical on me, Martha. We’re on vacation. What’s your point?” “George, my body has been fed and my liver is working on overdrive, but
my soul, George, my soul needs to be nourished.” “And how do you propose we nourish our souls, Martha?” “Let’s do something cultural, George! Let’s go to an art gallery or see a show! Maybe we can find a place where the locals hang out and hear some live music?” “Seriously, Martha?”
“Yes, George! I heard some other guests talking about this wonderful gallery downtown that’s in a Quonset hut!” “Great, Martha. I can relive my salad days when I was stationed in Guam.” “George!” “Alright, alright, Martha. But if we do that, I’m going to need a drink afterward, and NOT wine.” “Well, George, the young couple in the room next to us were talking about going to a place with live music and a beer garden. The Hippo in the House or something like that.” “Well, OK, Martha. I guess we can do that or maybe go shopping. I think we passed a mall on the way up here.” “I did not come to Sonoma County to go to a mall, George! Let’s grab a copy of the local newspaper and find something different and fun to do.” “What’s a newspaper, Martha?” “GEORGE!” —HD

here are more than 30 winners in our Best of Healdsburg Food & Drink awards, as selected by the residents of Healdsburg and the readers of the Tribune. This is our first year for a Best of Healdsburg, and judging by the response to our monthlong polling, we have a feeling it won’t be the last.
Naturally, there are winners for Best Business Lunch and Best Outdoor Dining, Best Chef and Best Sommelier, Best Caterer and Best Family Restaurant—those we’d expect. But there are also some awardees whose specialties might be overlooked amidst the glamor of the Plaza, of the
five-star hotels and the three-star restaurants. And it goes without saying that Healdsburg’s voters have strong opinions about the wine. After all, local winemaking families stretch back to the Old Country, and the heritage is deep here, as shown in the favored status of zinfandel
and pinot noir, chardonnay and rosé, and of course a sparkling to tease the palette. And a Best Shipping Company to send it all home. Whether it’s Best Tasting Room, Best Winemaker or Best Winery Dog, if you can’t find it in Healdsburg, maybe you don’t need it after all. —CK

Best of Healdsburg: Home Improvement
14
B
uilding a house used to be the signature of a mature family man. That definition has changed in so many ways we lose count, but there is something about the house we live in that takes precedence over all else.
We’ve all taken different paths to get here, to find our home in Healdsburg. Some families followed historical roots deep into the soil. For others it was a vacation home turned permanent or a fixer-upper that, over the years, came
to define us. One could take it step by step, and a handy task list can be found here, in the Best of Healdsburg Home Improvement winners. It begins with finding the Best Realtor or Real Estate Company, and then the
Best Mortgage Broker— and Best Insurance Agent, of course. Look up the Best Contractor to handle the plan, commercial or residential. The wood comes from Best Lumber Supply, and the Interior Designer and Paint Company are not far behind. By the time the Best Plumber is on the job, put them in touch with the Best Solar Company to integrate the home’s infrastructure. The family home should have a pool, of course: Call the Best Pool/Spa service and don’t miss a summer season. When move-in day approaches, the Best of Healdsburg Home Furnishings and Accessories Boutique is here to help out. Almost done … but don’t rule out a trip—or two, or more—to the Best Antique Store, for that final flair. —CK

n “A Place in This World,” poet laureate of the American teen girl’s soul, Taylor Swift, plaintively sings, “I don’t know what I want, so don’t ask me.” Well, since you’re in this section we know what you want, dear reader, and we know what place in this world it is— Healdsburg. Welcome to the Best of Everyday in the winesoaked city we call home. We’re constantly amazed by how much Healdsburg has to offer each day.

ebbie’s would like to start off by thanking the community of Healdsburg and Sonoma County for their continued support. People travel far with multiple generations of their four-legged family members. Debbie’s Pet Boutique opened the Healdsburg shop in November 2014 and Healdsburg has accepted Debbie’s Pet Boutique with open arms. Debbie Foster has been in business for 34 years now. Debbie’s specialize’ s in not only all breed grooming but earning the trust of others, our clientele includes four-legged family members whose trust is the most important thing to them, and then to earn the owners trust and educate them on feeding their pets the proper food, finding the right treat for them, fitting them for a harness, collar, or a sweater to keep them warm. Their team loves to make them smell, look, and feel amazing. There are multiple times when passionate pet owners come in and thank Debbie’s for being here in this community. Debbie graduated from Dog Grooming school in 1980 and worked for others until she became a single mom which made her decide to open her own dog grooming shop, then expanded into Pet supplies that’s were her husband Ron has been a huge help, it made sense to be a one stop shop. Being her own boss gave her the flexibility to raise her daughter. Crystal has been a huge part of Debbie’s, she works by her side; Debbie calls her a mini me. Debbie has her son-in-law Daniel and long-time employee Carolyn who greet you at the counter, they have all helped make Debbie’s what it is today, Your One Stop Shop. Debbie’s Pet Boutique has won several awards and is most proud of being “Sonoma Counties’ Best Dog Grooming Shop” for several years in her career, and now Best Pet Boutique is very special to Debbie.
