Healdsburg Wine & Food Experience: A Weekend of Indulgence

Mark your calendars for May 14-17, 2026. The  Healdsburg Wine & Food Experience is returning for a weekend-long celebration of everything that makes Sonoma County special — world-class wine, exceptional food, and the kind of hospitality that keeps people coming back.

 

What to Expect

 

This isn't just another food and wine festival. The Healdsburg Wine & Food Experience brings together the best chefs, winemakers, and culinary talent in Sonoma County for four days of indulgence.

 

Located in the heart of Wine Country, Healdsburg provides the perfect backdrop for this upscale event. The charming downtown square, surrounded by tasting rooms and farm-to-table restaurants, sets the stage for an unforgettable weekend.

 

The Lineup

 

While the full schedule is still being finalized, past events have featured:

 

1. Grand tastings with 50+ wineries pouring their best bottles

 

2. Chef demonstrations from Sonoma County's top culinary talent

 

3. Intimate winemaker dinners at exclusive venues

 

4. Seminars and workshops on wine, food pairings, and culinary techniques

 

5. After-parties where the real networking happens

 

Why Healdsburg?

 

Healdsburg sits at the crossroads of three premier wine regions: Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley, and Russian River Valley. This means access to some of the best Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and Cabernet Sauvignon in the world.

 

The town itself has transformed into a culinary destination, with Michelin-rated restaurants, artisan food producers, and a vibrant downtown that manages to feel both sophisticated and approachable.
