Healdsburg: it’s another world.

Here’s the thing about Healdsburg: it really is another world. If you’ve been there, then you need no proof. You’ve already experienced some of the exquisite, unique, modern, even quirky places to stay. You’ve already sampled the melt-in-your-mouth, locally sourced cuisine. You’ve already sipped stellar from cellar wines that were born in this unbelievable valley. You’ve already fallen in love with Healdsburg (don’t worry, it happens to all of us). But if you haven’t been fortunate enough to visit Healdsburg, I offer the photo above—proof that this really is another world. Excuse the photo quality, I snapped it with my iPhone on my last visit. It was taken at the Irish Rose Inn. Rumors had been spreading that there was a new romance in town. I had to see it for myself. Look closely. There in Daisy’s “Pigloo” (she’s the resident pig at the Irish Rose) is her new object of affection: a chicken, whom I named Scarlet. Yes friends, you’re looking at Bacon and eggs, spooning from dusk ’til dawn. What will the neighbors think? Heck, what will the other chickens think when Scarlet shows up with a 200 lbs. pig? Oh who cares! This is Healdsburg. And things like that happen around here. Often. Welcome to another world. We can’t wait to see you.
