Feeling sleep-deprived or burnt out after months of working hard to score a promotion, land a new gig, or launch a successful side hustle? Take a deep breath, because summer is finally here and warm weather is the perfect reason to plan a relaxing getaway. While there are tons of popular (and jam-packed) cities and colorful places to scope out around the world, a more low-key adventure might be just what you need to de-stress and re-charge. Put your itinerary planning skills to good use with a visit to one of our fave small town destinations. We think you’ll love the change of pace and feel-good hometown appeal.

1. WONDERS OF WINE COUNTRY: HEALDSBURG, CALIFORNIA

One of many wonderful spots in Sonoma County, Northern California’s wine country, Healdsburg is a haven for anyone who appreciates a good glass of vino, flavorful food, and genuine, homegrown appeal. When riding your rented bicycle or walking around the picturesque downtown, hit up the Flying Goat Coffee for a morning cup of Mrs. Garland’s blend before treating yourself to an afternoon delight at Noble Folk Ice Cream + Pie Bar. When it comes to a delicious dinner, Chalkboard is perfect to enjoy with your S.O. or group of gal pals.

Want to take a piece of this small town with you? Visit SHED to snap up a local bottle of wine and classic breadbox before cruising on to enjoy another great summertime spot nearby, like the Russian River, for a picnic. You’ll be so glad you did.
