The Camellia Healdsburg Inn is the place to stay this October

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.” — Ashley Smith

Oh, you bet big time buddy! Doesn’t this quote just get your fired up??? It fires all of us up at the Camellia Healdsburg Inn. The thought of living life to the fullest is so enthralling because it’s different for everyone. We’ve met so many different people when they stay with us at our Healdsburg Inn. Some of them have known exactly what it is that they want to do and see when they come to Healdsburg. Others need a little help. And some, just want to be left alone. No matter the reason for your stay at our Camellia Healdsburg Inn, there is so much for you to do. Even though the rain and cold weather is just around the bend, we’d like to give all of you an insight in what events are happening this month, so you can enjoy the very best of Healdsburg.

Bed and Breakfast in Healdsburg – Only Enjoy the Best

“If I make the mistake of eating breakfast, I want to go back to bed and/or eat again immediately.”   –Stephen J. Dubner

Isn’t this the truth. The great thing about a bed and breakfast in Healdsburg is that eating breakfast and then wanting more is available to you. Eat all you want, we don’t care, we encourage it! We believe in supporting our local farmers, ranchers, and local businesses, and do so whenever possible when crafting our Healdsburg breakfast for our guests.  Breakfast ingredients are locally-sourced, organic and sustainable, in-season and “right off the farm” fresh. If you’ve never had an egg that wasn’t shipped to a grocery store from far away, eating breakfast at the Camellia Inn will be a revelation. Our eggs come from local hens that are well treated, and they’re delivered fresh daily. Breakfast is a major part of our bed and breakfast in Healdsburg experience, but there is so much more that’s available to you when you stay at our bed and breakfast in Healdsburg.

Although Healdsburg and Sonoma County are known for producing renowned wines, many people don’t know that the terroir (taste of the earth) that is essential to producing those award-winning grapes is also responsible for our amazing agricultural bounty. Not only are fabulous grapes produced here but so much more comes from the soil, the individual farmers and a dedication to sustainability and producing the very best.  That best is on display in the wonderful Healdsburg breakfast we craft for guests.

If you must be somewhere before we start serving food, we are happy to put together a package to go for you. We don’t want you to miss out on anything.

If it’s good enough for Brooke Shields, a Healdsburg Spa Day is good enough for you

“I love getting baths and going to the Korean spas and getting pummeled and scrubbed, and its so hot in the sauna you can’t even stand it. I have to do things in a pretty extreme way to calm down. So a Swedish massage is not going to do it! I need to know that they’re in there with their thumbs and moving stuff around.” – Brooke Shields

Oh, you better believe it Brooke! The longtime actress has it all right with her quote when she discusses the need to calm down. There is no better way to calm down than to have a visit to a spa for a massage in order to let go of the stress that is ailing you; while helping your body rejuvenate properly.

Don’t Hesitate to book a Healdsburg Spa Treatment

“It’s very important to take care of yourself. Everyone’s lives are so busy. Take at least an hour a day to recharge and do whatever makes you better. For grown-ups, whether it’s a spa, sitting in a park with a book, or coffee, take time for yourself.” – Ana Ivanovic. I think we all can agree with Ana, a former professional tennis player, that taking care of yourself is one of the most important things, if not the most important thing in life.

Downtown Healdsburg – Sonoma County is a Beer Lover’s Dream

“You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.” Frank Zappa

A little humor goes a long way in our book, but what Frank Zappa is saying about Beer, rings true to us in the Sonoma County Area and most definitely in downtown Healdsburg. The beer scene in Sonoma County is unbelievable. From Petaluma, to Rohnert Park, to Santa Rosa, to Windsor and to downtown Healdsburg there is a vast number of taprooms and breweries to wet that whistle of yours. So for you beer lovers, here is that ultimate list of our most favorite places to drink some tasty beer and some places to eat some great food.

Bear Republic

Downtown Healdsburg

Let’s get started with our prized possession in downtown Healdsburg! That being the Bear Republic Brewing Company which is located on Healdsburg Ave and two minutes away from our downtown Healdsburg Bed and Breakfast. At Bear Republic they take pride in understanding how hops work and how they make beer special. Each one of their beers starts with a unique recipe that incorporates quality ingredients and hand selected hops. You can enjoy seasonal beers and year around beers. We suggest the Hop Shovel and Racer 5. If you head into this downtown Healdsbueg Brewery you can enjoy their Racer X which is a Double IPA that is delicious. This is one of those stops that you’ll be able to enjoy beer and food. They have tasty chicken wings, delicious salads, exceptional burgers and so much more. You’ll delight in everything the Bear Republic Brewing Company is offering in downtown Healdsburg.

Barley & Bine Beer Cafe

This 7-month old taproom is a secret gem. Located about 15 minutes from downtown Healdsburg, Barley & Bine Beer Cafe can offer you an experience like no other taproom we’ve seen around Sonoma County. They have 28 beers on tap in five gallon kegs from breweries all over the state of California. They have Ciders and wine and a delicious food menu that’s expanding as we speak. They have a fresh and tasty Watermelon Salad everyday, Flatbread Pizzas, Tater Tot creations, and Tri-Tip or Pulled Pork Tacos on Friday-Sunday. Barley & Bine Beer Cafe should be on all your lists if you love beer and a great time. The kegs tap quickly and are never the same. That is what makes this place so unique. So take that 15-minute drive from downtown Healdsburg and enjoy this exceptional Windsor Beer Cafe!

Henhouse Brewing Company

Henhouse Brewing Company is the place to be in our opinion! They are not to far from our downtown Healdsburg b&b in Santa Rosa. I don’tthink we can say it any better than they do on their website, so here’s how they describe themselves and we couldn’t agree more, “The HenHouse Brewing Company is an intentional business. Our intention has always been to make beers that you can be proud to drink. We make delicious beers of excellent quality and we make them in ways that anyone would be proud to support by drinking them. Our purpose is not only make beers, but to make living wage jobs, to make careers for our employees, and to make a difference in our community. From top to bottom, our company makes, sells, delivers, and serves beer with this intention and purpose in mind.” We love this place and all its staff. Very friendly and very educated. They offer a food truck on the weekends but don’t hesitate to come during the week because they have little baskets of popcorn. Through and through it’s a great time. We recommend the “Fresh Pots” IPA or their Big Chicken. But they have so many other wonderful choices. Take a Growler to go at a great price.

BeerCraft Tap Room

This taproom is a little bit of a ride from our Downtown Healdsburg Camellia Inn, but well worth the trip. Beercraft offers many things. First off, their tap room is exceptional with about 15 beers on tap that come from all over the place. Their bottle inventory and taps are constantly rotating, so you can always expect 10 to 30 new beers in the store, plus 8 to 10 new beers on tap each week. In addition to many local favorites, they travel out of market to procure beer not available through the local distribution channels.

Stay with us at our Downtown Healdsburg Inn

Honestly, the beer scene in Sonoma County keeps getting bigger and bigger. Our downtown Healdsburg location is a perfect place to begin a beer tasting day or weekend. There are so many more breweries and taprooms not far from downtown Healdsburg, but we wanted to give you some of our favorites to help you get started.

After a tasting, grab a bottle and some glasses and wander with your leashed pup through the estate gardens, where poop bags are plentiful and picnic areas dot the landscape. The same is true for Sbragia Family Winery. Dogs are welcome in the tasting room, on the patio and even in the vineyards. On the patio terrace, which overlooks the family’s estate vineyards and the surrounding hills of Dry Creek Valley, staff provides humans with sauvignon blanc and zinfandel, and dogs with water bowls and treats. At Portalupi Wine’s downtown tasting room your dog can people watches through the large, open picture window from big purple lounge chairs. At Dutcher Crossing Winery, dogs are welcome in the tasting room, where they can try on winery-branded dog collars for purchase while their owners taste estate zinfandel and other small-production wines. The back patio and lawn offer a grassy, sunny spot to nibble on cheese and charcuterie, and play catch, while overlooking Dry Creek Valley. Flanagan Winery
