Why Healdsburg? Episode 5: Sarah Opatz

Episode 5: Sarah Opatz, Co-Founder of Young & Yonder Spirits

Most people who visit Healdsburg come for the wine. In recent years, however, several breweries and micro-distilleries have stolen some of the spotlight and generated interest of their own. One such brand is Young & Yonder, an artisan spirit producer with a distillery and tasting room just behind Healdsburg’s City Hall. The brand was founded in 2017 by local wife-and-husband duo Sarah and Josh Opatz.

“We have such a vibrant community here and it’s exciting to see the community—and the city itself—continue to grow. You always see Healdsburg on travel publications ‘Best Towns to Visit’ lists but it still has a small community vibe that I don’t think it will ever lose. The fact that our little company gets to be a part of that, the fact that we get to keep people happy while they’re making Healdsburg their home, that’s one of the best things about this job.”
