Valette

Story

The Valette story starts with a dream and determination. When Dustin's great-grandfather left France to settle in Healdsburg, California in the early 1900s, he planted roots that would grow deeper with each generation. This connection to the land isn't just history. It's the foundation of everything we serve today.

Honoré Valette brought his French craftsmanship to downtown Healdsburg, where his "Snowflake Bakery" stood within the footprint of what's now The Matheson and his "Home Bakery" was located on the site now occupied by Valette restaurant. His commitment to quality, and hospitality, established the enduring family values that continue to guide both restaurant and wine endeavors today.

Two brothers, one shared vision. When Dustin Valette and Aaron Garzini opened Valette restaurant in 2015, they created more than a dining room. They built a community of growers and producers who care as much about their craft as they do. This obsession with exceptional ingredients revealed how great wine makes great food taste even better. Ten years later, that magic still happens every night.
