The Raford Inn

The Raford Inn 1880 Queen Anne B&B in the heart of Russian River Valley wine country, southern tip of Healdsburg.

Dane Pitcher and Rita Wells welcome you to a relaxing stay in the Healdsburg countryside. Long-time residents of Sonoma County, Dane now farms Raford's estate vineyard and makes award-winning Russian River Valley wine. Rita has a thriving practice as a hypnotherapist and wellness counselor. It is hard to miss Dane's jovial smile in the evenings and Rita's special flare at breakfast. In 2004, they

realized a 13-year dream of becoming innkeepers, when they purchased The Raford Inn.

“Farther from the modern world than the eye can see, yet only fifteen minutes from everywhere, we of the Raford Inn invite you to experience a warm and memorable visit to a time and place that has not quite yet gone by . . .”
~ Dane and Rita

Sonoma County offers more than great wine, food and art- it’s a wonderful place for hiking, biking and just enjoying nature. 😊

“Oh do you have time
to linger
for just a little while
out of your busy

and very important day
for the goldfinches
that have gathered
in a field of thistles

for a musical battle,
to see who can sing
the highest note,
or the lowest,

or the most expressive of mirth,
or the most tender?
Their strong, blunt beaks
drink the air

as they strive
melodiously
not for your sake
and not for mine

and not for the sake of winning
but for sheer delight and gratitude –
believe us, they say,
it is a serious thing

just to be alive
on this fresh morning
in the broken world.
I beg of you,

do not walk by
without pausing
to attend to this
rather ridiculous performance.

It could mean something.
It could mean everything.
It could be what Rilke meant, when he wrote:
You must change your life.”
Mary Oliver - Invitation, from A Thousand Mornings, 2013.
