Led by the legendary chef Charlie Palmer and hotelier Christopher Hunsberger, Appellation Healdsburg isn't just a place to stay; it's an immersive experience that celebrates the region's rich culinary heritage and wine culture. The hotel seamlessly blends locally inspired cuisine led by chefs Charlie and Reed Palmer and their culinary team with world-class accommodations, and that warm, authentic Sonoma County spirit that makes you feel instantly at home. From the moment you arrive and are welcomed with an amuse-bouche and a glass of wine to their on-site Folia Restaurant and Andy's Beeline Rooftop, it's clear that everything about the hotel pairs perfectly with a Wine Country culinary experience.
