Stuff 2 Do in Healdsburg

Row Your Boat

While we didn’t have time to go canoeing on the Russian River, it sounds like fun and the perfect apres golf pursuit for a bunch of cigar-smoking, beer-drinking guys, er, we mean types, who can do without the wine-tasting scene. And, who knows, it could also be kind of romantic as well.

Get an Education

While we weren’t able to put the 11th Annual Grape to Glass Weekend (Aug. 18-20) on our calendar, it sounds like fun and just the perfect apres golf pursuit for a group who wants to embark on an unforgettable journey through the best of Sonoma County’s wine country. Created, organized and hosted by the people of the Russian River Valley, Grape to Glass encourages you to live like a local for a weekend of winery and vineyard tours, educational tastings, scenic bike riding, a magical mystery bus tour, a delicious brunch and a down-home barbecue. As always, the weekend promises an abundance of world-class Russian River Valley wines and farm-fresh Sonoma County cuisine. 707.521.2535

Lose Your Shirt

While we didn’t have time to go gambling at the River Rock Casino, it sounds like fun and the perfect apres golf pursuit for a bunch of cigar-smoking, beer-drinking types who are feeling lucky. And, if you’re getting lucky anyway, it could also be kind of romantic as well. Just a 15-minute drive — or inquire about the shuttle.

Pamper Your Body

While we didn’t have time to enjoy a spa experience, it sounds like fun and just the perfect apres golf pursuit for ... or even in lieu of golf pursuit for ... the visitor who prefers quiet time to decompress over busy time to decompress. Whatever works, but no cigars, no beers. The Hotel Healdsburg has the best soap to be found in a hotel bathroom, which means the spa has also got to be good. www.hotelhealdsburg.com
