Healdsburg's leafy central square is the easiest wine-country picnic in the north county: shop the surrounding bakeries and delis, then spread a blanket on the lawn. It is also the one public park in this region where the City explicitly allows you to drink wine you brought, as long as it stays inside the park. Summer Tuesday evenings bring free concerts and food vendors.
