The Raford Inn

Our inn is located in the Russian River Wine Valley, of Sonoma County, just a half mile from the Russian River and a 15 minute drive along gorgeous vineyard country roads to the Healdsburg Square. Gently perched on a South facing slope above sweeping Russian River Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards, ringed by redwood forested mountains, near a small country crossroad, the Raford Inn is a welcoming beacon of hospitality. This 1880 Victorian plantation property is graced with luscious gardens, a working estate vineyard, and towering palm trees that are home to some of the region's most exotic birds.

Our Healdsburg area B&B is a great starting point to venture into the Sonoma Wine Country appellations of the Russian River Valley, Green Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley, Chalk Hill, and more.
