About the host

Hosted by Kimberly DesJardine

Host profile image
My husband and I purchased the First Crush Cottage as a weekend getaway from our hectic life in San Francisco.

It is the refuge that we go to relax, unwind and exhale. Our girls, who are now grown, spent their childhood exploring the vineyards, canoeing the Russian River and discovering the rich countryside on hikes and bikes.

Over the years, our backyard has been host to a multitude of food and wine feasts with our friends and family. The fond memories are endless and rich.

Twenty years later and we still can't get enough of Healdsburg and our little slice of wine country heaven.

Why they chose this property

In the heart of Dry Creek Valley, the First Crush Cottage sits between miles and miles of beautiful vineyards and picture perfect countryside. You can walk to a half dozen wineries or mosey up the street to the historic Dry Creek General Store, where you'll find the best sandwiches in the county.

The bucolic town of Healdsburg is home to world class wineries, the best of farm to table dining and a host of unique specialty retail and antique stores line its quaint town square.

It is no wonder that Healdsburg continually tops America's Best Small Towns lists.
