Helmed by chef and vintner Dustin Valette, in partnership with Craig Ramsey, The Matheson is Healdsburg’s newest go-to wine-and-dine destination. The historically preserved, three-story spot’s menu features standouts like seasonal wood-fired flatbreads, along with other locally inspired selects that reflect the terroir and celebrate the craft, community and agriculture of Sonoma County. 106 Matheson St., Healdsburg
Another Healdsburg Plaza opening to note is the new Marine Layer Wines tasting room. Founder and owner Baron Ziegler of Banshee Wines and winemaker Rob Fischer teamed up with Sonoma-based Hommeboys to design a luxe space complemented by oversized couches and a stylish yet approachable atmosphere to enjoy the producer’s cool-climate chardonnay and pinot noir. The best part? There’s a secret curated bottle shop filled with picks from friends and local producers as well as an impressive Champagne selection. 308 B Center St., Healdsburg
