Windsor

Tucked ten minutes from Healdsburg and ten from Santa Rosa, edged by the Russian River and surrounded by vines, Windsor is the base the regulars keep to themselves. Its renewed Town Green fills with summer concerts; the Russian River Valley wineries begin just west. Stay for less, drive less, and reach more than you would from the marquee towns — then come home to a quiet green at the center of it all. A secret landing, hiding in plain sight.
