Indulge in Luxurious Wellness at Spa Montage Healdsburg

At Montage Healdsburg, amid a hilly patchwork of grapevines, rosemary bushes, scrub oaks and eucalyptus, my day starts with a swim in the resort’s immense pool. Positioned 20 feet above the terrain, it seems to float above the surrounding vineyards. It’s dark when I start my strokes, but by the time I finish, a veil of amber light begins to illuminate the landscape. The sun’s rays spill into the rows of fat grapes, fusing with snippets of fog for a swirling effect. I hop out of the water to drink it all in, suddenly reminded of the night before, the way I swirled the resort’s own house-made wine in my glass, sniffing and (gratefully) quaffing it.
