Dry Creek Kitchen
Set on Healdsburg’s historic tree lined Plaza, Dry Creek Kitchen marries Chef Charlie Palmer’s vibrant American cooking and world class bottlings with the intimate charm of a small town and true wine country hospitality. Since its inception 20 years ago, Dry Creek Kitchen has contributed towards the town’s recognition as a national and much-revered culinary mecca. Recognized as one of the very first Michelin-star restaurants in the area, the concept is celebrated for its innovative cuisine and extensive Sonoma County-only wines—and recently completed an expansive redesign that features a reinvisioned bar, a signature Terroir Table, a glass-enclosed wine cellar and much more. Helmed by Executive Chef Shane McAnelly, Dry Creek Kitchen invites dining guests on a culinary journey with ingredients grown and raised by farms up the road, and wines by vintners visited earlier in the day.
