“Whether you live in a city or a small town, and whether you drive a car, take the bus or ride a train, at some point in the day, everyone is a pedestrian.” — Anthony Foxx

I love coming across great quotes like this. Especially those that our Camellia Inn B&B in downtown Healdsburg can truly identify with. There’s no greater truth than coming to Healdsburg and wanting to become a pedestrian almost immediately. There are so many things to experience while on foot in downtown Healdsburg. If you want to do some shopping, stop into some wineries, or enjoy some gallery time, below you’ll find a guide that’ll help you meet any of these needs as you meander around downtown Healdsburg.

Christopher Hill Gallery

The Christopher Hill Gallery is exactly where it should be and that’s in the heart old downtown Healdsburg. The Christopher Hill Gallery is an exceptional spot, where you’ll be able to uncover for yourself a beautiful collection of treasures. The way the collections are presented to you and how it’s so significant and nestled within the area makes it such a beautiful choice to experience. We at the Camellia Inn know first hand just how unique their artwork is. We appreciate them, and we know that you will as well.

Erickson Fine Art Gallery

A San Francisco transplant, this art gallery has become fully immersed in the community of Healdsburg. They try and emphasize the art from Northern California Artists. They are in a Palladio style building in downtown Healdsburg. The Erickson Fine Art Gallery has three stories of light filled rooms, showcasing the gallery’s broad palette of talent from landscapes and figurative, to abstract work One World Fair Trade.
We think this is one of a select few stops you should make while roaming downtown Healdsburg. One World Fair Trade was established in 2002 and are independently owned. They specialize in authentic handmade gifts, jewelry, home decor, art, sculpture, textiles, clothing and women’s accessories representing the diverse cultures of artisans in Asia, Africa, Latin America, Middle East and the United States. The sale of their products improves the livelihood of disadvantaged artisans and help pay for food, education, healthcare and housing for those who would otherwise lack opportunity for a stable income. They have created a sustainable market with long term buying relationships with their producers representing over 50 countries.

Shoffeitt’s Off the Square

Who isn’t in the mood for a unique souvenir while on vacation in a town with a rich history like Healdsburg? If you said you, then make a pit stop into Shoffeitt’s Off the Square. This downtown Healdsburg icon has a beautiful, stylish and very well put together collection of Vintage, Antique and hand-made treasures for you and your family to look at. It’s a downtown Healdsburg staple!

Simi Winery

Simi Winery has come up in a few of our blogs and its not a mistake. It’s an absolute destination if you are hanging around downtown Healdsburg and especially if you’re a lover of great wine. Like it says on their website, Simi Winery is ‘Synonymous with Sonoma County.’ That’s 100 percent true. They’ve been going strong since 1876, and have been killing it ever since.

Zizi

Whether this trip is a work trip, vacation or just a getaway, Healdsburg has so many enjoyable things for you to partake in. Here you’ll find a handful of activities that we believe will help you to get the most out of your trip to Healdsburg.

Places to See in Healdsburg

Wine Country Walking Tour

It’s no secret our Healdsburg b&b is surrounded by some of the best wineries. Whether it’s the picturesque Jordan Vineyard Winery on Alexander Valley Road, to the rural splendor of Bella Vineyards, or to the beautiful and rich history of the Seghesio Family Winery. While staying at our Healdsburg b&b, you can take part in a unique experience through a Wine Country Walking Tour.
Our Healdsburg b&b can help you put this together. A great idea is to get some exercise while sampling some different local wines and cuisine while on a Wine Country Walking Tour through downtown Healdsburg. You can expect nothing short of exceptional service. The tour guides are friendly and educated in the rich history of local wineries and cuisine. They highly encourage you to ask any questions you have or may arise during the tour. Chat with local winemakers, meet gourmet artisans, and then savor the fabulous flavors they have created for you. The Wine Country Walking Tour wants you to be engaged in the whole process so that you can achieve the very best experience imaginable.
The Wine Country Carriage
Another unique experience to take part in while staying at our Camellia Inn, is a Wine Country Carriage Tour. Leave your car at the Healdsburg b&b and take a five-hour Belgian horse carriage ride through surrounding Healdsburg vineyards. During your horse-pulled carriage tour you’ll make stops at three different wineries. Bring your cameras so you can take pictures of the beautiful scenery that’ll surround you. You’ll get to see so many landscapes and vineyards that no car could ever take you to.
The Healdsburg Plaza
The Healdsburg Plaza is just a short walk from the front door of our Camellia Inn. If you don’t know what you are looking to do, then a walk around the Healdsburg Plaza is a decision you can’t go wrong with. The gazebos are a host to live music, and the small park is surrounded by boutiques, restaurants, and wine bars. There’s no map needed, just pick any direction and you’ll achieve your own Healdsburg experience. If you want ideas for a few great stops surrounding the plaza, then please ask the staff at our Healdsburg b&b. We’ll point you in the right direction.
Wine Country Bike Tour
There are so many reasons why the Amgen Tour of California keeps having Sonoma County as one of their anchors for this bike race. We believe the most prevalent one being, peaceful. What’s better than riding your bicycle on fantastic roads and the most picturesque settings? There are so many options for you if you want to go this route.
Whether you’re an experienced cyclist, casual rider, or a family with children, there are many itineraries for you to choose from. Our Healdsburg b&b has information for you, but there’s also a ton of information online for you to check out. You can head on over to the Santa Rosa Cycling Club’s website for some information on bike rentals and organized tours.
One local company that we highly recommend is Adventures in Cycling. Dave Brazell runs a boutique Napa-Sonoma County Cycling adventure. Adventures in cycling will customize your bike tour so that you can have the very best experience possible. You can choose a day bike tour, motorized bike tour or a multi-day bike tour. All their tours are packaged with fantastic views, engaging guides, a few great wine tasting stops, and some great food. Dave and the gang at Adventures in Cycling will customize your bike tour around your location. So, when you check into our Healdsbug b&b, you won’t have to worry about anything. Dave will meet you at a location, so you can begin your bike tour. All you’ll need to bring is a great attitude and be ready to have a fantastic time on your bike tour.
Healdsburg B&B
When you stay with us at our Healdsburg b&b, you’ve already made your first great decision. But, what you do while you stay with us, is entirely up to you. There’s no bad decisions in our opinion. If you decide on the Wine Country Walking Tour, or the Belgium Horse Carriage Ride, or that Wine Country Bicycle Tour, you’ll be sure to have a great time. But these are just a small list of options at your disposal. Healdsburg offers you so much more. Please ask us at the Camellia Healdsburg b&b about anything else. There are always so many new events that are in the works all throughout the year.

Nestled in the Russian River Valley, Healdsburg is known for its enticing restaurants and wine tours. Yet, if you are looking for a day out with nature, this small city provides the perfect launching point for fun both on, and along the Russian River. Beginning in the coastal mountain ranges of northern California, the river flows southward through Healdsburg and turns westward toward the coast, where it empties into the Pacific at the town of Jenner. From casual sunbathing and swimming, to paddling and rock-picking by the sea, there are many ways to enjoy a day on the water. Here are three of our top outdoor options, sure to relax and inspire.  
River and the Coast:

There is nothing quite like watching the river meet the ocean. Lucky for you, there are two ideal spots to watch and explore the end of the river. For a longer day trip, begin your scenic drive to the ocean mid morning. First head to Goat Rock State Beach. A short walk from the parking lot puts you at eye level with the mouth of the river. If you come in spring and summer months, Pacific harbor seals and their pups will be playing, napping, or surfing in the waves. Sand dollars, small shells, and colorful rocks can be found anytime of year. Those of you wanting a workout, try hiking the coastal Kortum Trail.
Once you have your beach fix, have dinner at River’s End Restaurant. Or, skip Goat Rock all together and come just for a meal at sunset. Order the oysters. This romantic dinner with a view is worth the trip alone! All tables are placed in front of west-facing windows to capture the scenery while you eat. Perched atop the hills above the shore, the wrap-around porch has panoramic views of the river, ocean, and coast. Peer south and upriver to see islands of willow and maybe spot a deer grazing on them, a testament to their strong swimming capabilities. Look north and giant boulders guard the cliffs.
Bring a warm jacket or coat. The coast can be anywhere from 10-20 degrees cooler than in the valley back at your B&B Healdsburg room.
How to get there:
This scenic drive to the coast is about 1 hour long, depending on your route. Make your way to Highway 116 in Guerneville. Head west on 116. With the river on your left and the redwoods on your right, this is a gorgeous stretch of road. Once you hit the famous Highway 1, turn right/north to find the town of Jenner and River’s End Restaurant. To find Goat Rock State Park turn left/south. After you cross the river and ascend the bluffs, the park entrance will be on your right. Meander down the road to the farthest parking lot to the north.
___________
Just Around the River Bend:
If a laid back and easy adventure is what you are looking for, then Del Rio Woods Recreations is the place to go. Just minutes from your doorstep at Camellia Inn B&B Healdsburg, this hidden swimming hole is a gem. Now managed by Sonoma County Regional Parks, it is relatively unknown to tourists. Picnic, swim, sunbathe, and relax. Wander out onto a sandy peninsula shaded by willows. This gives you a tad more privacy.
How to get there:
There is a reason for the secretiveness of the park: it is not well marked. Once on N Fitch Mountain Rd, you become aware of the river on your right. Go another mile and turn right onto Del Rio Rd (not marked!), which runs almost parallel to Fitch. It appears to be a dead-end street, but trust it. Soon an inconspicuous parking lot with Porta-Potties on your right appears. Park and walk down to the riverfront.
___________
Canoe and Kayak Trips:
For the more adventurous, call Loli at River’s Edge Kayak and Canoe to book a half or full day, self-guided trip. They provide the boat, gear, and shuttle to the upstream launch point, and you paddle back to your car at headquarters. Private guides are available. Choose from a 5-6 mile half day paddle (Rio Trip), or a longer 11-16 mile journey that puts you upstream into the more wild and pristine stretches of the river (Alex Trip).
How to get there:
River’s Edge is only a 3 minute drive or 20 min walk from Camellia Inn, on the banks below the Healdsburg Ave bridge.

No matter your mood, there is a Russian River adventure to suit it. Let us at Camellia Inn B&B Healdsburg be your base camp.  Contact us for more information.  

“I’ve never stayed at a bed and breakfast. If I did, I figure you would start to get hungry! “Is that all you got around here? Well, maybe you can direct me to a chair lunch dinner.” Mitch Hedberg
The weather is beginning to turn colder here in Healdsburg, California. There is Rain in the forecast, and the Holiday season has officially begun. The Halloween celebrations bring us that much closer to the Holiday season and those Healdsburg lodging decisions.
If you’re in school, with your significant other or with your family, sitting down to plan out your lodging for the Holidays can be stressful; but it can also be exciting. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah or whatever Holiday is coming up that you partake in, always brings people into their hometowns to visit with their families and friends, or it’ll provide some people with a nice Holiday getaway. If you aren’t staying with your families or friends, or just want that seasonal trip away, booking your Healdsburg lodging stay at the Camellia Inn Bed & Breakfast is a fantastic idea.

We are the Healdsburg Lodging Choice for a Holiday Getaway

If you’ve decided to plan your trip to Healdsburg, California for a Holiday getaway, then the ideal Healdsburg lodging choice is the Camellia Inn. If you’ve come to this blog then you are informed about Healdsburg, California and are probably intrigued. I know, the months of November and December don’t necessarily scream, “let’s go Golfing.” But, to be quite honest, if it’s not raining, it’s a great time to hit the links. The scenery is beautiful, and for the most part, you’ll have the course to yourself. If the Camellia Inn becomes your Healdsburg lodging choice, we offer a unique Special Package for Golfers. If you book lodging at the Inn, you’ll receive a 60-minute private lesson for two people from a local golf pro. Two sets of golf clubs will be included. You’ll be able to play and practice at Tayman Park Golf Course, just minutes from the Inn. Follow that with a couples’ massage with a licensed massage therapist in our new spa room. This Healdsburg lodging package can be fun for anyone.

If your Parent’s place is filled, Stay with Us

Our Healdsburg lodging is like waking up at home on Christmas morning. This isn’t meant to come across cheesy or sappy, it’s meant to come off real. In my experience, there’s nothing finer than coming back to your parent’s house during the Holidays and waking up to that once familiar setting. It’s comforting and makes us feel whole again for just a few minutes in time. Our goal here at the Camellia Inn, not just during the Holidays, but anytime, is to provide you with that type of lodging. A lodging that allows you to feel at home. Our Healdsburg lodging wants you to go to sleep in a bed that’ll make you feel like you are sleeping in between your parents on Christmas Eve. Wake up with us, then enjoy our seasonal breakfast, which is a selection of farmers market fresh egg dishes, fruits and bounty from the same earth that thrilled famed horticulturist Luther Burbank and still inspires Sonoma County winemakers. You can stay in your pajamas if you want. We don’t care. Maybe, we’ll open some presents together. I don’t know, but we want you to feel at home. Our Healdsburg lodging choices are vast. Click right here to peek at the rooms we offer.

Sonoma County Strong

The Holidays can’t always bring you home. There may be no home to go to. This is so true right now in our County of Sonoma. All of us here in Healdsburg, California have been affected by the recent wildfires. We’ve lost homes, or our families lost homes, or our friends have lost homes, we are trying to rally around one-another to help us rise from the ashes. This Holiday season will be especially tough on all the local business owners, whom have lost their homes. What they need is help from people outside of Sonoma and Napa County.
We hope that the Camellia Inn and our Healdsburg lodging is what you choose in that effort to help our communities. Our Innkeepers at the Camellia Inn will have all the information you need so spend your money that’ll directly support these local business owners and help them move forward.

When we sit down and define what we offer at the Camellia Inn in Healdsburg, California for today’s business traveler or any traveler for that matter, three things come to mind, Honesty, Value and Transparency. Hotels don’t need to throw a lot of emphasis on wooing the business traveler, but Bed and Breakfast establishments do.
Healdsburg, a Business Travelers Destination of Choice?

Healdsburg, California isn’t the first choice when it comes to planning your work trip stay. We also can admit that it’s an extremely difficult task to try and get the business traveler to stay with us over other hotels for that matter. But what The Camellia Inn, in Healdsburg does offer, is a location that’s only a short trip from Santa Rosa, where most of the travelers come to for work. Since the Santa Rosa Airport is located between Santa Rosa and Healdsburg, it could be a great option for you to come up North which is only 10 minutes from the Airport and stay with us. You can rent a car from the airport, head 10 minutes to the Camellia Inn and then travel 20 minutes into work in Santa Rosa. The Value in doing this, for us, is the overall well-being of you as an individual. Like I said above, we are in the business of Value and Honesty, and your work trip will be better if you choose to stay with us at the Camellia Inn in Healdsburg over one of the local hotels in the middle of the busy city.
Don’t get us wrong, we are in the business of catering to the romantic getaway or the quick weekend getaway, but the Camellia Inn in Healdsburg, California offers you, the business traveler, a location away from the busy town you are working in. We all know how work can be so Healdsburg is a perfect place for you to unplug from your workday. You can get out and have a delicious dinner at one of our fine eateries. The Camellia Inn is centered in the heart of Healdsburg and like us locals say, ‘You’re two minutes away from everything.” After you eat, or walk around the town of Healdsburg, you can head back to the Camellia Inn, and plug back into your work and enjoy free Wifi. No matter what time you must be in to work, you will have time to enjoy our breakfast that’s locally grown and organically sustained. If you woke up late, because you had the best night’s sleep on one of our exceptional mattresses and super soft sheets, we’ll make you up a breakfast to go. You won’t have to worry about a thing!
This is a great point by a business traveler, “The urban inns are the ‘no brainer’ locations for the business customer. For the more remote country B&B’s, you may not have a lot of large corporations or business centers near you that bring travelers to your area. But there may be smaller businesses, colleges, and hospitals in these more isolated areas.” This is so true! Healdsburg, California is close to many wineries. I can only imagine how many trips are being planned right now by restaurant owners wanting to go on tours and learn about these wines, so they can serve them in their restaurants all over the world. The Camellia Inn is the perfect place for those businesses to anchor down.
All in all, the Camellia Inn in Healdsburg, California probably won’t be the first spot you think about when planning your next business trip to Sonoma County. But, if you want to think about Honesty, Value and Transparency, then maybe it should be. My cousin used to work for Johnson and Johnson as a sales representative, and she traveled the United States. She stayed in many different hotels that her company put her up in. When she could start booking her own places to stay, and she had the option to stay at a Bed and Breakfast over Hotels, she always chose the Bed and Breakfast. She told me, “Staying at a Bed and Breakfast would always remind her of her mom. Being on the road 280 days a year could get extremely lonely. So, any chance I could get to feel like I was home, I definitely took.”
