The bed linens were superior; I called owner to obtain information on what and where to purchase and if I could find on the East Coast. The owner was most helpful and really went out of her way to locate the brand, etc. She had purchased herself. By the way, the food was great ! quite clean. I found it to be just the best.

After quite a bit of research, we settled on the Grape Leaf Inn for the last three nights of our honeymoon and I don't think we could have chosen better. The town of Healdsburg is lovely but the Inn definitely made our stay there.

We stayed in the Merlot room... the favorite of both guests and staff, we were told. It was a beautiful room in the original part of the house. We were turned off by many B&B's websites because of the pictures of their rooms that looked like a Laura Ashley store exploded in there... but the décor at the GLI was tasteful and understated and felt authentic... but with the modern amenities like a jacuzzi tub, light dimmers, and free Wi-Fi (not that we used it). Not much noise from our neighbors on our floor, if any. It was everything we wanted in a honeymoon suite.

Parking was easy... this is a small place in a residential neighborhood (but within walking distance to the town plaza). The area was peaceful. The gardens on the property were really really lovely but unfortunately we never really got to enjoy them as much as we would have liked.

Another super-cool thing about this Inn is the complimentary wine-tasting! It's every day in the "speakeasy" wine cellar and it's a great place to unwind after a long day touring the wineries and Julie, the pourer, was very knowledgeable about the wines and the area. She recommended some fantastic restaurants as well. The tasting is also nice to chat with your fellow guests and compare notes from the wineries you visited.

Probably the highlight of our stay were the breakfasts. Kae or Richard, the owners, are your chefs and we have never had such amazing breakfasts in our life. Just to give you an idea... our last day we had a cold watermelon soup shooter to start, then a poppyseed creme-filled crepe with whipped cream and apricots, bleu cheese creme-bruleed poached egg, chicken parmesan sausage, and for "dessert" a cherry cobbler. That was just ONE meal!!

I'd highly recommend the Grape Leaf Inn to honeymooners and couples as well as families. It's the perfect place to get away...

I have never been a fan of the Bed and Breakfast Expererience. Four Seasons is more my speed, but what a wonderful experience i had recently at the Grape Leaf Inn in Healdsburg, CA. My wife and I recently went for a long weekend of wine tasting, and couldn't have been happier with our selection of the Grape Leaf. From the delicious breakfast prepared every morning, to the evening wine tasting events held in the basement of the Grape Leaf it was perfect in every detail. Not to mention the beds, which were the most comfortbable I have slept in at any hotel.
The owner, Richard Rosenberg is extemely knowledgable of the local wineries, especially
the smaller boutique types, that you may not usually visit. Have him point you in the right direction and you won't be dissapointed.
We will definitely be back to the Grape Leaf Inn. It was a completely relaxing weekend in every way.

This is one of the neatest places that I have ever stayed. First of all, it is set in Healdsburg, CA, which is, in my opinion, the very best city in the California wine country. It is full of high caliber restaraunts with interesting menus (including Cyrus, second to none), wonderful shops and galleries, and cute local businesses, while surrounded by some of the best wineries. Healdsburg has the class of Napa, but not the snobby attitude or herd mentality.

But back to my point, the Grape Leaf Inn, which is hands down the best bed & breakfast that I have ever had the opportunity to experience. Just a few blocks of the Healdsburg town square, it is convenient yet unexposed. The groomed and fragrant landscaping, as well as a cute cat, welcome you to the large porched estate. We walked in just as the wine tasting was taking place within the "secret cellar". Mr. Richard Egbert, co-owner of the inn was pouring the wine and chatting with guests. There was an extensive wine selection to peruse, as well as various interesting wine oriented items, such as a blind wine tasting kit. We sampled some great wines accompanied by other gracious guests and even had a chance to taste the barrel wines in the cellar!

The moment I walked into my room, which was the Zinfandel room, I felt as though I was transported into a dream. Frank Sinatra serenaded me from the radio as I encountered the impeccably, yet classicly decorated room. There was a king size bed with nice linen and the wallpaper was great and interesting to examine. The skylight windows were fantastic and kept the fresh wine country air circulating through the bed and bathroom. The bathroom was stocked with great Aveda products and other amenities. We found the common areas exremely comfortable as well.

One of the best things about the Grape Leaf Inn is the 3 course gourmet breakfast. We experienced Kae's culinary expertise and were blown away. I am still thinking about the strawberry salsa and vegetable fritatta. But not too the late sleeper, try and arrive at least 10 minutes early to secure a seat next to your party.

I suppose the most remarkable thing about the Grape Leaf Inn is the management. Everything is so well run. The owners have extensive knowledge about the area and are extremely friendly and likeable. They will go out of their way to help you find what you are looking for in your visit. I think that this element makes the inn a step beyond its competition.

If you are in Healdsburg, stay at the Grape Leaf Inn.
