Agree with Honor Mansion as the place to stay. As well as Cyrus as The place to eat. Better than French Laundry in Napa!
We also took a wine tour with a gentleman named David Rasmussen of Eclectic Tour. He took photographs throughout our day and sent us a CD of the memories as well as knowing the smaller boutique wineries that we would never have found.
Have a great time!

We have dined at Cyrus twice, it is a truly amazing place! The Hotel Healdsburg is very nice, we had a room with a balcony and a 6' soaking tub. Great breakfast in the am and friendly staff here. Dinner for 2 at Dry Creek Kitchen was included with our room, we did the tasting menu, everything was wonderful. :)

Nice to hear good things about Honor Mansion, we are considering a stay here this Spring. I hope you have a great time in the wine country! ***kim*** ((l))

I finally booked at the Honor Mansion partly because they have a special rate for when I will be there...stay one nights in a suite and get the second night free. They also will call a month ahead of time and get a reservation at Cyrus so thats good. They were very nice on the phone so hopefully it will be a great time. Thanks for all the help. Any recommendations for another dinner besides Cyrus...doesn't need to be fancy just yummy.

Healdsburg Inn... a B&B...was terrific when my bride and I stayed there a few years ago. The bed was so comfortable that I purchased a like mattress set as a Christmas gift to my wife that year. The breakfasts were wonderful.

Strike my previous, sorry. That place was called the Haydon Street Inn, NOT the Healdsburg.

Ahhhhhh and a calm fell over the land. =D>

It neverfails...???????

Now I am really lost - Is it Miss Scarlett in the library with the lead pipe?

<i>SCARLETT</i>??

NEVAHHHHHHHH!

Not Fodor's Scarlett! Clue's Scarlett - like Colonel Mustard et al.

No more ***klues***((L))

Over and out.

Yes, the Grape Leaf is on a quieter street than the Honor.

I love Willi's Seafood. We booked our reservations on opentable.com before we left town! Been there three times and LOVE LOVE it!


I have not done Cyrus. I don't know, I'm kind of weird about spending that much since I don't eat meat (a little seafood) but we did like Dry Creek Kitchen. We ate at Auberge du Soleil in napa, but did it at lunch. It was still over $150 and not worth it, IMO.

***klueless wonder***

R5, how could you leave out Carmel, Monterey, Laguna and San Diego?
