As you know from following me, I LOVE attending Wine Country Events. Especially when they happen in Healdsburg where I am now lucky to call home!

One of my favorites events is the Healdsburg Wine & Food Experience. 2023 was their second year and it just keeps getting better.  Follow along below to see The Healdsburg Wine & Food 2023 Experience.

The Healdsburg Wine & Food Experience

This event is all about celebrating those who make the magic happen. This experience is a weekend long celebration that features the best of Sonoma County food, wine and even spirits. The world-renowned food and wines deserve this celebration!

Marko Sotto GM of The Matheson. He is beyond wonderful. I describe him as the BEST front of house talent / angel in the restaurant world. Truly!

Maker’s Behind the Magic

The Healdsburg Wine & Food Experience showcases farmers, growers, winemakers and chefs. It  highlights the culinary diversity, sustainable farming practices, and connection to the agriculture of Sonoma. Something really special about this event is you’re able to meet and learn from the best. You can eat and drink with celebrity Michelin-starred chefs and world-renowned wine experts.

Delicious Wine & Food

It wouldn’t be the Healdsburg Wine & Food Experience if the wine and food weren’t absolutely spectacular. I am constantly impressed throughout these events since the food is exceptional.

Caviar was a big feature this weekend, this delicacy was paired so well with many different creations.

A great aspect of this experience is that you can see these famous chefs right in action. Then you get to taste their amazing signature creations.

Entertainment

It wouldn’t be the Healdsburg Wine & Food Experience if there wasn’t something to do or see all around you. Throughout the whole weekend there were great musicians, entertainers, and decorations.
