About Chalkboard

Chalkboard is one of Healdsburg's most community-oriented and locally connected tasting room experiences. Founded in 2012 with a 'Field to Fork' philosophy that celebrates the agricultural culture surrounding Healdsburg, Chalkboard pairs estate Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel, Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sonoma County Pinot Noir with seasonal small plates sourced from local farms and producers, creating a tasting experience that connects wine directly to the terroir and community that produces it.

The North Street Healdsburg location, steps from the Plaza, provides easy walk-in access to a program that distinguishes itself through genuine local food integration rather than generic charcuterie boards. The rotating seasonal menu features ingredients from the same Sonoma County farms that supply the grapes for Chalkboard's wines, creating an integrated agricultural story that most Healdsburg tasting rooms only gesture toward.

The communal, locally-connected atmosphere and the genuine commitment to food-and-wine integration make Chalkboard one of the more distinctive and thoughtfully positioned of the downtown Healdsburg tasting rooms, a natural stop for visitors interested in the relationship between wine and the broader agricultural culture of Northern Sonoma County.
