Hop Kiln Winery, Healdsburg

An afternoon spent at Landmark Vineyard's Hop Kiln Winery is an enjoyable one! Here, in the attractive wine-tasting room made up of huge wooden vats, you can taste wine and munch on crackers and chutney for free! You can buy fresh-baked warm bread for only a few dollars and eat it with their free mustards and oils. Sit out on the gorgeously sunny patio and enjoy the day. There are gardens with a pretty pond. The nationally-registered historic house has a great feel to it. It also has an interesting story- when they moved it from its original location, it was too wide to fit through a bridge so they had to cut it in half!

You pass near Healdsburg on your way to Hop Kiln. It's a delightful little town on the upper Russian River. Spend some time walking around the town, or sit by the river and relax! There is a beach where you can swim in summer (see directions below).
