If you wish to get away from the hotel bright and early, wander into town for some tasty treats from Downtown Bakery and Creamery or Costeaux Bakery for your coffee and pastry fix.

We invite the entire wedding party to join us for a hot air balloon ride on the morning of the wedding. Watch the sunrise from up above the beautiful rolling hills and vineyards of Sonoma. Then join us for a gorgeous brunch at the Kendall Jackson Winery, complete with quiche, chocolate-dipped strawberries, local cheeses, coffee cake, creamy spreads, and champagne.

If you choose to arrive a couple of days early, take the opportunity to explore the valley. What better way than by bicycle! This tour will also allow you to enjoy a few sips along the way.

Planning a wedding (and traveling to one!) has left us all with the need to unwind. The day before our wedding, let's retreat to the Calistoga Hot Springs and let our cares melt away. We'll be mentally and physically restored, and refreshed for the big day!

Not to be forgotten: Wine tastings! Chappellet, PlumpJack, Hall Rutherford and CADE all offer excellent and exclusive selections from their cellars. You better not leave without going to at least one! (or two, or three...)

Join us at Auberge du Soleil for our rehearsal dinner on the eve of our wedding day. Settle in for a romantic evening garnished with incredible views.

We are staying at the Hotel Healdsburg. We have booked out rooms for all of our guests – please let us know if you will not be in need of accommodation. The Hotel Healdsburg is equipped with a gorgeous spa, the Dry Creek Kitchen, and was voted by Travel + Leisure as a top hotel in the United States in 2011. We will be in walking distance from some of our favorite wineries (girls, we will be headed to La Crema for chardonnay!), plenty of dining options, and beautiful valley views.
