WINERIES: From the George Alexander House you can walk to several tasting rooms and drive a short distance through beautiful hills and valleys to more than 60 wineries.
RESTAURANTS: Within walking distance you can find restaurants ranging from inexpensive tacquerias to those offering fine cuisine. Your biggest problem will be choosing one. That is, if you can resist taking a picnic into the countryside! Your finer restaurants will require advance reservations.
BICYCLING: Miles of relatively flat roads through the valleys of the surrounding area make Healdsburg a prime starting point for bicycle tours. A few blocks away is a bike shop that rents bicycles, or you can bring your own.
HOT AIR BALLOONING: Imagine drifting over miles of rivers, hills, vineyards...
HIKING: Nearby Annadel State Park is a favorite spot for hiking, picnicking, and feeding the ducks. Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve, with its 1200-year-old trees, and Lake Sonoma both offer miles of beautiful hiking trails.
GOLFING: There are 14 public golf courses in Sonoma County, some near, some far. The closest (9 holes) is walking distance from The George Alexander House Bed & Breakfast. The next closest, in Windsor, is an 18-hole professional course.
CANOEING AND SWIMMING: The Russian River and Trowbridge Canoe Trips are just a few blocks from The George Alexander House Bed & Breakfast.
SHOPPING: Take a two-block walk to a quaint town square; a simple pleasure for guests and residents alike is a stroll through Healdsburg, listening to a Sunday Concert in the summer; making sure the resident cats don't escape from our two bookstores; looking at wild and wonderful things at R. S. Basso, Friends in the Country, the antique stores; buying fresh, locally grown, organic produce at the Saturday Farmer's Market...
SPAS: Would you like an herbal wrap or a relaxing massage? A Simple Touch Spa, just a few blocks away, offers these and other therapeutic and comforting treatments.
