CULINARY DISCOVERIES
Celebrating the Region's Flavors and Artisans
The restaurants, wineries, and culinary experiences that reflect why people fall in love with this region—not just what's new, but what's meaningful and worth your time.
Troubadour's Le Dîner
By day, it’s a local sandwich staple; by night, it’s a prix fixe Parisian bistro that feels more "Left Bank" than Wine Country. Led by a SingleThread alum and a Food Network champion, Troubadour’s Le Dîner is the perfect example of why Healdsburg continues to lead the region’s culinary evolution—offering sophisticated, high-level dining without the formal stuffiness.
Gentleman Farmer Bungalow: A Masterclass in Interactive Hospitality
Tucked inside a 1926 Craftsman cottage on First Street is a private world that vintners Jeff Durham and Joey Wolosz are sharing with Napa—and you’re invited to lunch. It's not a traditional tasting room, but rather a 'studio for gustatory well-being' where the hosts themselves step behind the stove. Discover a thoughtfully layered space where no two visits are ever quite the same.
Wine Crush: Palmaz Vineyards
What happens when a renowned medical inventor applies precision technology to centuries-old winemaking tradition? The answer lies deep inside Mount George at Palmaz Vineyards—and it's an experience worth planning ahead for.

This new café and marketplace bills itself as a "culinary playground," and that playful spirit shines through in everything they do—without ever compromising on quality. In a valley known for culinary excellence, Under-Study stands out by balancing precision with playfulness—and delivering genuinely delicious food at every turn.
