'Top Chef' Hearts Healdsburg and You Can Too

November 12, 2009 at 4:29 PM | by Heidi Atwal | 0 Comments

Top Chef and wine country fans alike will be happy to hear this insider scoop we were passed along: This season's finale was shot in one of Northern California's culinary havens, Healdsburg. Those in the know have long been trekking to Healdsburg to eat at restaurants like Cyrus, which one of our close friends—a nearby Sonoma resident—counts as one of her favorite places to dine. It was at Cyrus that part of the finale was shot, according to our channels.

With all of this Top Chef love being thrown Healdsburg's way, we thought it might be an appropriate time to list some hotel options for foodies whose trips are centered around tasting, sipping, and even gorging in extreme cases.

We've heard a lot of good things about Hotel Healdsburg—once again from Northern Californian natives who know the hotel and restaurant scene well. It's the home of Dry Creek Kitchen, which where chef and TC guest judge Charlie Palmer has made his name. One of the biggest events that the hotel hosts is Parker's annual "Pigs and Pinot" weekend, set to return in March of 2010, and involves exactly what the name implies: a helluva lotta Pinot Noir and pork goodness, with real-life top chefs contributing to the benefit weekend. Booking early for the popular event is a smart call.

If you believe that spa treatment is more than just hands on shoulders and should truly get to the heart of how and why we relax, then Honor Mansion, tucked into the heart of Sonoma County's wine country, is the place to immerse yourself in comfort and the quiet bliss of letting go.

Located just 80 miles north of San Francisco in the shopping and dining mecca of Healdsburg, Honor Mansion is a perennial AAA Four Diamond Award winner.

There are just 13 rooms and suites but the amenities galore on-site will keep you busy for your entire stay. There's a 40-foot lap pool, two regulation bocce ball courts, a competition croquet lawn, PGA putting green, quarter mile jogging/walking track, a quarter acre of Zinfandel vines, and on-site massage therapy and spa treatments. It is quite possibly you can do everything on your vacation list and never leave the grounds.
