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.

Healdsburg's best-equipped city park for a group picnic: shaded tables with barbecues, a bocce court and a playground, close to downtown. It suits birthday parties and family reunions, but it is not a place to open a wine bottle, because City code bans alcohol in every park except the Plaza.
