Dry Creek’s charming tasting room is a great way to spend your afternoon sampling wines. Sample their world-class wines, including limited-production, single-vineyard bottlings only available at the winery. They also have a delicious charcuterie board available for purchase. We had an amazing tasting experience at Dry Creek Vineyard. Support family-owned wineries!

Ask for Aaron. We had a fabulous visit. Learned a lot. Great wines. Highly recommend the $20-ish Sauvignon Blanc as a great value. Lovely setting. Great people.

Stopped in for a quick tasting and to pick up a couple bottles of the Sav blanc. Ian was so helpful and gave us the exact right amount of information without pressuring us into wine clubs. We were in a hurry and didn’t intend to do a tasting but he gave us a couple samples and helped me select a couple bottles we hadn’t tried before. Dry creek has an amazing indoor and outdoor set up that I highly recommend if you’re in the area! Definitely suggest asking for Ian and having a glass of wine or tasting!

Great place with outdoor seating for wine tasting, knowledgeable staff that gave good pours and provided tastings of wines that weren't on the tasting flight if requested. Tasting was $25 and was waived if 2 bottles were purchased They have good wines at reasonable prices

Had a wonderful time at Dry Creek Vineyard. The grounds are beautiful and perfect for an afternoon of tasting fine wines. We did the tour and tasting which was very interesting and worth the time. Darren did a great job giving historical perspectives and explaining sustainable in the business. Would highly recommend this tour and enjoyed every drop of the wines we tasted….so much so that we’re having some shipped to our home. Thank you Dry Creek for a lovely afternoon!

Had a great Bordeaux tasting at Dry Creek this week. Nick was excellent and we felt welcomed from the moment we stepped out of the car (even with being late for our reservation). Initially had a table inside but they graciously moved us outdoors, which made it easier for us traveling with an infant. Both wine and service were fantastic! Don’t miss out on Dry Creek when coming to the Healdsburg area!

Stopped in on a whim and was thoroughly impressed. I’ve “known about” Dry Creek Vineyard for years and have enjoyed some of their wines but for whatever reason had never stopped in. Today we had some time between other appointments so decided to pop in and holy crow I am glad we did. First of all the place is just gorgeous. Like pack a lunch and get comfortable kind of gorgeous. Lots of shaded seating outdoors with nice views and a totally relaxed vibe. Second - the tasting is more of a guided tour through an impressive portfolio of wines that you can only get at the cellar door. I had NO idea. The staff are all well informed, cheerful, and incredibly friendly and down to earth. No snobbery or condescension here. An absolutely fantastic visit and on the list for a return for sure.

Dry Creek Winery is fabulous and the wine is one of the best I've had the pleasure of tasting. Paige was the wonderful lady that made the experience extraordinary. She is vivacious and truly enjoys what she does. If you get the chance to visit, ask for her. She's one of a kind! I would recommend making a reservation as it gets quite busy.

Great wine and beautiful winery! The 4 stars only is because I was pretty surprised by the winery staff. I don’t believe all of them were this way but our person was mostly absent, took over 30minutes between pours, and didn’t seem super interested. Could of been having a bad day so I would still recommend stopping by and enjoying the wine and atmosphere.

This is a beautiful winery and a must stop on your adventures thru Napa. Our tour with Darren was the best. He was informative and engaging and spent time with us out among the vines sharing the ins and outs of growing, harvesting and even the ecosystem! Thank you Darren for a wonderful experience. You are the bomb 😜😁

Thoroughly enjoyed our wine tasting experience at this beautiful winery. The wine selection poured was excellent. Our pourer was very knowledgeable and truly enjoyed sharing her wine knowledge. The setting is lovely. It was a windy day so we were in the Secret Garden which was perfect. The price point of the wine was good for the region and they have a nice portfolio. They have gardens to wander after the tasting and the views of the vineyards add that special touch.

Bernie was awesome! The weather outside was wet so they set us up in the cellar, what a nice set up inside. We had a fabulous tasting and got all the highlights of each fantastic wines. Do not miss out on Dry Creeks amazing Winery with all that they have to offer. Put this on your bucket list it will not disappoint.

Page was an excellent host for our reserved tasting. It was a perfect day to taste these iconic wines. Darren also came by to greet us. My wife and I have been club members for over 10years and seems like every year the wines keep getting better.

We came to Gary Farrell mainly because they had Tesla chargers on-site but also wanted to enjoy some wine. I’m so glad we visited because this was an unforgettable experience. The view, the wine tasting, food pairings, just all of it was perfect. If I lived nearby, I would definitely put this place in my rotation. And definitely can’t forget the most handsome, charming, and chonky black cat, Bennie. Will be back next time I’m in the area!

Absolutely recommend the elevation tasting at Gary Farrell! Service was great and all wines were amazing too! Cheese pairing was delicious and views were beautiful as well! We will definitely be back for another tasting, but I couldn’t recommend more if you’re looking to try some great Pinots and Chardonnay!

We had a great time at Gary Farrell! The wine and cheese pairings were wonderful, and the wine was so impressive, we joined the wine club. We were impressed by the personal touch of seeing our name on the tasting menu. Ellyn was our host and she was very fun!! One of our most favorite experiences of the week! Highly recommend!!!

This winery has the most beautiful scenery. It is a stunning view. The wine was delicious and I really loved how the cheese was paired with each wine specifically. I would absolutely come back.

Starting with Allen, everyone we met was really great. You can't beat the view. And the sophistication of this tasting is very appreciated. Most organized tasting we had all week. Highly recommend this. And it's even better with a driver so you don't have to remember how you got there!

Fantastic wine tasting with a beautiful view. We tried two Chardonnays and 3 Pinot Noirs with a cheese pairing. All wines were great, nice to try them next to each other and there was a wonderful surprise with Benny the vineyard cat

a consistent producer of exceptional Cali wines. Their picturesque and intimate tasting room is well worth the visit. apologies for the lousy deck photo: gorgeous day but people kept walking into the camera frame. staff is utterly courteous and professional. even if you get lost finding it (it's on a hill but easy to miss if traveling east/NE on Eestside Road), there are at least 8 othet similarly excellent wineries in a three mile radius.

Did a tasting here, very impressed. Great Pinot and Chardonnay, cheese pairing was perfect, and the staff was very helpful in explaining the background on each wine. Tour of the production area was also nice, was the only winery of 8 we visited that still offered one. Bought a case, only 1 bottle in so far but will be breaking out their wine for special occasions.

We went to a number of wineries over the weekend and Gary Farrell was far and away our favorite in terms of wine quality, ambiance, and service. Their location is beautiful. They offer a cheese pairing with the wine which was incredible. They really did just have the best experience overall. Can't wait to go back on our next trip to the area!

I was just passing through. The plaza is pretty clean and inviting to sit and relax, read a book, paint, or do something else you like it. The town in general is beautiful and worth the visit! For sure, I will be back to enjoy some of the many wine tasting rooms and cute stores and boutiques and nice restaurants 😋

Beautiful town square. Great shopping and dining around the square. Bandstand, benches, and a Christmas tree 🎄 in the season.

A fun spot for people watching. The streets around the square are lined with trendy shops, restaurants, and tasting rooms. Check out the live music at the gazebo stage.

A square shape, small but well designed cozy place. Many shade and places for sitting.

Small but magical, That is the only way i can describe the Plaza. well maintained, Restrooms were clean, surrounded by shops, Restaurant and in very short distances Safeway store located. I spent two days visiting the Plaza and i strongly recommend it to everyone. Also bring a blanket if you feel like laying down and enjoying the atmosphere and your day off. Go there!

I'm a little biased here, since we have family living in this great little town. Healdsburg has changed over the years. Now an enclave of boutiques, art shops, wine tasting rooms, and a number of resorts. The new Calistoga on the Sonoma county side. That being said, wine tasting is a non cholant exercise for us. Drink what you like, not what "experts" say. Same thing with food. Even if it is simple, and you like it that is good. The Healdsburg plaza becons to an older time. Mature redwoods line the plaza square. There are times when crafts and art fairs, live music and wine tastings are around on weekends. The streets are lined with art galleries, restaurants from simple fair, to more refined foods, as well as wine tasting everywhere. Lol It is October and wine crush is here. A last tourist push. You can find some good bargains at the art fairs. I was able to find music photos from concerts in the day of the rolling Stones, led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Santana, heart, and lynrd Skynyrd. Showing my age, but very nice photography. All unique and unpublished. I bought quite a few to take home and mat and frame. In all a nice town to visit, and look around for 3-4 days. An addition for the holidays. A Healdsburg Christmas 12/25/2033

This plaza is really awesome. There is a gazebo there and a fountain which isn’t running at the moment. Tonight there was a DJ under the gazebo. Families and people were dancing and it was cool. The plaza is all lit up with cool lights and has this lighted tunnel that’s super cool.

Gorgeous plaza in old Healdsburg. No wine tastes, gelato or tasting menus. Just a place to relax in the shade of old trees. La dolce vita!

The City of Healdsburg utilizes the Plaza perfectly - art, music, retail, exhibitions & fairs, and wine tasting - according to permits, and local & state laws. The setting is expansive yet intimate for local artisans and visitors alike to enjoy a respite or education or a picnic lunch. Cyclists and families traverse through freely, with quiet respect of others' enjoyment.

This is my new weekly post for a local guide. I will be showing different locations, shops, wineries and restaurants in Healdsburg and surrounding areas✨ For this video I’ll be taking you around downtown healdsburg at the square. It’s a couple blocks away from my office and the environment here is very welcoming. #localguide #healdsburg #tour

Cute town square, live music occasionally and friendly locals. Lots of cute little shops to pick up coffee, ice cream, or a brand new fit to wear to brunch. Feels very safe (I wandered around alone a lot)

What a wonderful small town atmosphere in this beautiful Plaza. Lots of great shops and eating in the area. One restaurant even provided us with a Pup friendly guide to dining around the Plaza.

Beautifully landscaped and elegantly designed downtown area, with a beautiful plaza, cute shops, and delicious food places.

Even though the weather didn't cooperate and we had some drizzle, the holiday festival on the Healdsburg Plaza was sensational! The live entertainment was top-end, the craft stalls had great products with wide variety and there were numerous food-truck choices! No surprise, the turnout was fantastic!!

Wonderful park surrounded by unique shops and restaurants. Great way to spend the day.

Well maintained plaza. We went a few days before Christmas and heard carollers sing. The Christmas tree set up is amazing and the singing really brought on the Christmas spirit.

Very nice and people really socialize here, kids as far as I can see they love it and the police station is a block away so no worries about people being disrespectful. The city is pretty expensive but so is everywhere else right! Other than that my dad grew up in this town and I can proudly say that.

Gorgeous little town! Great art, food and wine shops.

Beautiful central park with a lot of mature trees providing much needed shade. There's a central stage for performances, and other public events.

Beautiful property! We thoroughly enjoyed our Molto Bene wine and food pairing. Juan was our host and we found him to be quite knowledgeable and informative about the wines and the history of the Vineyard. We knew some history having read the book “A Very Good Year” about the winery, but it was fun to catch up with the 22 years that have happened since the book was published. (Read it twice, When it when it was first published, and then again recently ) We got to meet the chef and he explained everything in detail and how and why he complimented the wines with his food preparation’s. Special shout out because he was able to accommodate me! The wines were beautiful and were perfectly paired. Amazing wines that you do not see in your supermarket or in the cellars of your favorite restaurant. Definitely recommend!

Have visited many times in the past to enjoy wine and gardens. Did 2 tastings @$30 then bought wine for $80, usually that gets one of the tastings complimentary, not anymore! Probably won't visit in future as there are others that have nice gardens and will give a complimentary tastings for the amount we spent.

This is a mandatory visit for me when Sonoma. Beautiful winery and great tasty wine. The prices are reasonable for the high quality. The winery went with the reservation model that the whole industry is adopting. I am not a fan of this model. To me it seems a way to extract more money from the customer. I do not need nor want a staff talking to me for minutes about the wine just to justify the $60/tasting for 3-5 2 oz pours. Wineries want to charge that much, better put some food pairing. On this visit, I asked for a glass of Tapestry and told the guy I did not need anything else. I think they appreciated and even gave us a table. I appreciated that. Overall, a great winery but perhaps best to call over and reserve or just ask for a glass of wine you know you would like.

So beautiful! We last second scheduled the wrong day. They still accommodated us. The grounds and the property are stunning! Def a go-to. Got two club memberships, one for us and one for a gift! Can’t recommend enough.

Great experience, thank you so much Ibis, you were a wonderful host. Wine is great, beautiful winery

Beautiful winery with excellent customer service! The wine pours were pleasantly done without pressure to join their wine 🍷 club (which is always nice). The gardens are so beautiful! Kodak moments galore…Overall it was an amazing experience, two thumbs up. A must do when in the area!

Beautiful place. The dessert wine tasting was superb. Bought a case to ship home. Definitely a place to put on your bucket list when visiting wine country.

Ferrari-Carano was my least favorite of the vineyards we visited this past weekend. The grounds are completely closed and you can't even go outside to look because of some construction. The wines here were really not terrific, which was a downer.

Pizza and wine evening in early November was great. Tatiana was a wonderful host, we enjoyed chatting with her and her knowledge of the winery and property.

Embrace the magic and let Ferrari-Carano whisk you away on an extraordinary wine-filled adventure.

The grounds are immaculate and breath taking. I 100% recommend making a stop and doing a tasting. There are two different types of tastings offered here (general tasting for $15 or the reserve collections for $25). We did the $15 tasting and split it because we had a very long day of tasting already under our belt. The bartender was hilarious and was super helpful! Of course we left with 3 bottles of wine and chocolate covered cherries 🤷🏼‍♀️even if you don’t want to do a tasting, I still recommend visiting the grounds and walking through the gardens.

I’m a foley member and was super excited to try this winery! Sadly, if you do the last tasting you may get locked in and have to climb over the fence to get out 🙄 totally fine if you’re a young buck and agile. but totally not okay if you ask a 65 year old woman to hop a fence. They knew once we headed out that they’d have to open the gates and told us they would keep the gate open. But when we got to the gate it was closed. We were forced to climb over. Would recommend this winery if you’re up for an adventure to climb out and hop a fence post tasting! Deeply disappointed in foley. Recommendation: keep the gate open until all guests are out. They didn’t mind taking our $$ for wines before locking us inside the property :-)

Fantastic winery known for their award winning Pinot Noir and situated right next to the Russian river. The owners and staff are just as great and friendly. We enjoy coming here to pick up our membership wines 2x a yr. Highly recommended. Kids and pets allowed on premise.

Wine tasting at Gracianna Winery is by far one of the best experiences. You truly see and feel how much passion they have for the wine making process. There is a lot of significance and meaning everywhere you turn, their logo is a “gift” so at your tasting ask them to share the story behind that (I don’t want to ruin the surprise). One of their wines was titled “resilience” after the 2019 flooding when they lost their entire harvest. Hands down such a humbling experience, wine was fabulous, customer service fantastic, and atmosphere superb! Thanks so much, we are locals and will be by more often!

We had the pleasure of staying at the Airbnb at Gracianna and also did a tasting in the tasting room during our stay. Everything about the experience was fabulous - from the wines, to the hospitality, to the views, I can't recommend this place enough.

Our tasting at Gracianna was one of our favorites in the whole area. Lafayette welcomed us with a some delicious wine and let us get settled. Shortly after that Trini came to introduce himself and poured our next taste while explaining what the procedure was for deciding when the right time is to harvest the grapes. Lafayette finished our tasting with more wonderful wines. Of course, we shipped some home so we can enjoy it again at a later time.

Trini and Lisa are the most gracious hosts, welcoming guests to their winery (and home!) and inspiring you by their family history, philosophy and of course, excellent rosé and Zin.

We had such a wonderful experience here with a group of work friends. Fernando was so fun and informative about the wine making and tasting process as well as the beautiful history and meaning behind this unique family-owned winery. The wine was fantastic!!! Thank you so much!!

The wines were all amazing. Very few wineries I’ve visited where I loved them all. This is small batch wine as they only produce 2000 bottles a year. Fernando was awesome and shared their great family story with us. Great experience and great wines!

Everything about Gracianna was fantastic. My wife and I stopped by on our honeymoon. When we arrived the owner was taking club members on a tour of his home and invited us along. This was characteristic of how hospitable every person was at Gracianna. Everyone went out of their way to make our experience the best it could be. The vineyard itself makes you feel like you could actually be in Tuscany, and the wine was exceptional. Best Pinots we had on our honeymoon by far. We loved it so much that we made an extra trip back before our honeymoon was over.

Do not visit this winery if you are not a real person! Walked up and was greeted by the Winemakers son selling lemonade. Loved it. Then he shared the excel spreadsheet of his revenue and expenses. Loved it. Grabbed a glass of wine and 5 minutes later the Winemaker sat down at our table to discuss winemaking and our trip. Loved it! Not the best wine we had, but an experience we will never forget.

Had a fantastic return visit to Gracianna last week! It was a pleasure to be served by the very knowledgeable, but also charming and relatable Fernando who gave us a great tour of the wines. The pinot noirs especially were all incredible, but the Zin we tried and the whites and a rose were so very good as well. Loved hearing a bit of the rich history of the place and this winery's philosophy. We were lucky enough to meet the owner Trini once again this time - to learn more from him and have a very nice genuine conversation like we'd known him for years. We definitely treasured our time at this beautiful winery and can't wait to return!

This was my first time visiting this winery for my friend’s birthday. It’s nice because they can accommodate larger groups at this time. The winery is absolutely beautiful and we got to sit outside right next to the vineyards while we were drinking wine. The wine is DELICIOUS and refreshing. Hospitality was phenomenal. And their cute dog, Sadie, came and joined us while we were tasting wines. Couldn’t have asked for a better tasting!

We visited Gracianna Winery about a year ago at the last minute recommendation of our driver. Thank goodness Jersey Tom made this rec. We experienced some amazing wineries during our 3 days in Sonoma, but the combination of great wine and hospitality found at Gracianna put this little boutique winery heads and shoulders above the rest.

I've been to Gracianna several times in the past as It's a favorite destination of both my wife and car club. Everytime I stop by I always get at least 1 bottle of Pinot Noir and a Sauv Blanc and/or their Zin. They probably have one of the best Pinot's IMO. The owners are very nice and have always been more than accommodating to us. They've gone well out of their way to open up their winery to our car club so that we can have event's/car shows at their location. Speaking of, their estate is amazing. Gorgeous views with open spaces to sit and enjoy their wines and the view. Try the Mercedes block Pinot, trust me...

We had an absolutely amazing experience at Graciana. The staff were all lovely and we had the opportunity to chat with the owner who told us many fascinating stories about the history of this family-owned vineyard and the wine. This place is a gem. We loved visiting this vineyard and hope to return on our next trip to Napa!

Super chill and laid back to just kick back and relax. Beautiful location off of Westside Rd. Cindy as your wine educator and hostess is friendly and genuine with a ton of local knowledge. Great varietals and a true representation of Sonoma County wine country. Great experience!

Been members and have been coming for years since we visited from out of town. Lovely variety of wines and we enjoy sitting outside. Great staff that take of us!!

This was one of the best wine tastings. The building and park-like grounds are relaxing and beautiful. The pours were better than any other winery in the valley. Warm and friendly staff.

Five stars for Natalie alone. Great presentation of the wines sampled. Very personable. Beautiful setting inside.

Its Old Vine Zinfandel is complexly rich and bold, as its classic name suggests. The host was so nice and attentive too, plus it's quite close to Healdsburg's town square that it's walkable. Go check it out!

We love the wines that we can purchase from Seghesio in MN, and the winery experience did not disappoint. Very know staff and very friendly! Thanks for baking us feel at home and glad to be part of the membership now that we've been to the production facility!

Beautiful setting. Fantastic wines. Tasting was $30 per person and for an extra $5 you could add a library wine to raster against its current version. We spent 90 minutes and enjoyed every second of it. I shall return. Highly reccomended..

Amazing experience at the chefs table! A 4-course meal with wine, plus extra wine and surprises. A great start to a Healdsburg weekend! Big bonus that the vineyard is walking distance (easy) from the Healdsburg square. Go here! If it’s sunny, the outdoor space is beautiful too. Even having a quick tasting and a saffron arancini by the bar would probably be amazing too, but if you have time for the food and wine pairing do that. If not, stop by and taste great wines, enjoy friendly service and sample something small from the incredible chefs menu.

Beautiful tasting area under large, shady trees! Great socializing with the tasting specialist! Vibrant wines, flavors, color, and selection! A customized experience and a very pleasant surprise near the heart of Healdsburg!

Seghesio was the first wine stop of our girl's trip last weekend. We arrived to a lovely table with Tony as our host. He was extremely knowledgeable about the wines and the family history. We tasted some delicious reds and ordered several to ship home. The tasting room is very pretty and comfortable, and Tony made it extra special. I was already a fan of Seghesio wines, but now I'm a super fan- thanks for a wonderful visit!

Seghesio was our second wine tasting for the day and it was our favorite by far! Tony Sciullo was our VIP liason and he was such a pleasure to host us. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to our questions. The wines were so delicious that I decided to sign up for their wine club as well. After our tasting, we bought a bottle of wine to drink there while watching others play bocce ball on their grounds. So worth a visit if you are in the area and love wines. Also ask for Tony.

Seghesio definitely has been the best wine-tasting I’ve been to so far! They have a lovely outdoor seating area and a convenient reservation process. The staff were very hospitable and informative- they accommodated our group despite the delays and changes to the reservation. Tasting rooms are both indoors and outdoors- depending on the weather. The outdoors section has rocking chairs and beautiful big trees providing shade- I could spend hours there! There were a total of 8 wines- with the tasting we selected. Mostly Zinfandels, which are my favorite. Each vintage had a history and distinct taste. Our favorite was the wine made out of grapes grown in Rockpile. I’d highly recommend Seghesio for wine-tasting, it’s a very personalized, warm experience. Note- they are pet-friendly, we left our pups behind but they do allow dogs in their outdoor area.

Definitely worth the trip! The selection of wines was impressive, with a perfect balance that complemented the various cheese pairings offered. As a Pinot Noir enthusiast, I was delighted that they accommodated my preference and even went the extra mile to enhance the experience. Tracy, the host, provided exceptional service, making sure my visit was memorable. Highly recommend this place for wine lovers seeking a top-notch tasting experience!

Williamson has fantastic wines. The owner is Australian, but the focus is on French varieties. Their wine tasting includes cheese and jams, and there an optional food pairing. (We're doing the food pairing later, will review then). The cheese and spreads are creative, different, and very tasty! . Thier bottle prices are on the slightly higher side for the area, but the wine is worth it.

A delightful way to spend a rainy, cool Tuesday evening. The happy hour was a splendid deal at $15 that included a chicken slider, truffle popcorn, a few homemade chips and my choice of a full glass of wine from any of their open bottles. The server was a kind, attentive young man who shared part of his story while also teaching me more about the family and history behind the wine. It was a fantastic find in Healdsburg that I would recommend to anyone. Good food, great wine, and considerate staff and service.

Had an amazing wine tasting experience here. On a bit of a spontaneous trip exploring the area they were able to accommodate us without a reservation. Staff were very friendly, patient and informative even though my friends and I are wine naive. The wine and food pairings so so much fun and delicious.

We enjoyed the food and win pairing. The food pairings were top notch, absolutely delicious! The wines were excellent as well. The staff was very knowledgeable

Nice place to visit, food is good! ,I hear the food is rotated and can be different but good, the service is great, Allison has a great personality and is very engaging, I would totally recommend! From San Diego! Oh and nice being greeted by the owner and asking what we liked best.

My husband and I had an exceptional wine tasting provided by Kyle. It was their wine club pick-up party so they were not initially taking walk-in tastings. As we were headed out to their other location, a gentleman ran to fetch us saying they could accommodate our tasting - which we thought was incredible customer service. In a very busy environment, Kyle provided our tasting, full of knowledge and good conversation. The wine was an added bonus as it was delicious - and don’t forget about the cheese pairing! Definitely the best money spent on our trip! We’ll definitely be back!

The Williamson tasting was unique because for every pour we got a cheese pairing. It was remarkable to taste the wine, try the pairing and taste again. We also bought wine, mustards, jelly and truffle salt. The staff was very attentive. We enjoyed our stay. The bathroom was I think clean but they were having power issues and there were no lights in there. You had to use your phone as a flashlight.

If you haven't been to Williamsons...you don't know what you're missing! Their wines are top notch and their accommodations are spectacular. Definitely sign up to to a member....you won't be dissapointed!

Avoid Williamson Wines if you are young and melanated Owners Dawn and Bill act like they don't want to be there, but if you are young and melanated, they will make sure you know you are not welcome. I have been going to their first tasting room since 2015, and the tasting room staff (other than one of the older managers) is always a delight. They are really wonderful. We finally joined the wine club and cheese club in 2022. We started attending member events, which owners Dawn and Bill seem to be obligated to go to, and we realized how they both made sure to avoid us (usually the youngest and almost always the brownest customers there). This weekend was the last straw, and we canceled our membership after being blamed for something staff forgot to do on a past order. They checked my account and realized they were in the wrong, admitting it to us, and still managed to blame us for their mistake. Update: this was not a one off issue, we have noticed being treated differently than other guests many times. I emailed in full detail of the many incidents, this was the full response: We are acknowledging your cancellation and have removed you from both the wine and cheese club moving forward and wish you well.

Amazing food and wine paring with great value given the price ($50!) They offer generous protion for both wine and food. The host is also very personable and give great intro.

The Icon Tasting - you do NOT want to miss! We selected the lunch; all of the food was creative and delicious. The wine pairings were well thought out. Not one of the four of us left hungry or thirsty. Tracey was our host - she was friendly and very knowledgeable with excellent recommendations for the wine. In fact, we enjoyed the food and wine so much, we came back for the happy hour and enjoyed that as well! Allison was a great host! We will definitely return!

GREAT experience here! If you only taste in one tasting room in Healdsburg, choose this one. Wines are all very tasty, and the cheese pairings are a fun peek into the worldview of Williamson, which is to pair food with wine and wine with food. Also, the hosts have such quick wit and have clearly mastered the art of making a visit enjoyable for everyone, regardless of experience with wine!

I can't tell enough good things about this tasting. Take your time and stop in.... The food pairings will astound you.... At least they did me... Everything was so thoughtfully planned and executed - each time a new wine and food pairing were brought out I was surprised how much they complimented each other. So... Tell a long story short, now a wine club, cheese club, and spice club member. It's that worth it.

Having enjoyed their wines in the past, we'd been wanting to visit the winery for some time. We booked the Winery Tour & Tasting with the hopes that the typical February weather would not "dampen" our experience. As it turns out, we could have not been more pleased! Christine was an excellent host. Her style put us at ease and encouraged a fun and informal discussion about the history of Jordan, the inner workings of the winery and, of course, their wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. And to top all of this off, the food pairings were amazing! Definitely a top tier winery experience. We can't wait to return during the summer months to try the estate tour and other featured events!

We did the library tasting. It was pretty good. Beautiful place. I would have appreciated more information about the wines we were tasting. A final splash of your favorite wine would have been a nice courtesy, especially when your group purchased over 600 dollars in wine bottles. I think they can improve on that.

Lovely winery and vineyard. The place has an incredibly peaceful vibe to it, and the music choice is perfect. They are some Italian/French cafe songs. Decent amount of parking here. It's a shame they ripped the vines off of the building, during the fall the leaves all turn red and it looks incredible.

Beautiful Tuscan style winery, the barrel room smells sooo good. Excellent wine and hospitality, wish the tours of the beautiful property didn’t cost so much but it’s worth it to visit.

Modeled after a First Growth Bordeaux, Jordan Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has remained one of Sonoma’s best Cabernet Sauvignons for four decades with an unwavering commitment to food-friendly wines of balance and elegance. Every vintage of Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted with a focus on striking a perfect balance between beautiful fruit, silky tannins and a lingering finish. It is this delicate balance all done by taste that allows for the gradual, graceful evolution of Jordan’s Cabernet Sauvignon in bottle.

We had a wonderful stay at the Jordan Winery. The property is gorgeous. In the morning, there is a mysterious fog which covers everything. Our suite was absolutely beautiful and very comfortable. The undercounter refrigerator was stocked with fruit and water, and there was a bottle of Jordan Winery Chardonnay on the dining table for us. We had the opportunity to have lunch on the outside patio as guests of a private event. Chef did a wonderful job pairing the five course meal with four of the Jordan Winery wines. I really enjoyed the Chardonnay. I hear that the Russian River is close by, unfortunately I did not get a chance to go for a swim. Next time. There is a garden and a bucolic farm on the estate. Ask for a tour.

Molly was our awesome tour guide and led us through the Winery tour followed by a seated tasting featuring generous pours of two Chardonnays (2015, 2020), and two Cabs (2015, 2018) and cheese and small bites for pairing with the wines. They even features estate grown olive oil. The wine and food tasted great and the scenery was hard to beat. They were accommodating of our vegetarian diet and also had a delicious non alcoholic beverage option. Highly recommend and would visit again.

This winery is stunning and such a great tour to be had. The wine is one of a kind. The food pairing was delicious and we enjoyed every dish. So happy they ship wine to Arizona. Lots of great memories were made here and can’t wait to return.

This is gem of a winery with beautiful scenery and buildings as a bonus. They specialize in Alexander Valley Cabernet from their Estate Vineyards and Chardonnay that they bring in from the Russian River Valley. The result is beautifully balanced wines in the style of Bordeaux and Burgundy with nuanced use of oak. Try their tasting experience, which is made better by great staff to take you on a tour and answer your questions followed by a seated tasting paired with small plates. It was simply excellent!

Jordan has a series of estate experiences for guests. I took the estate tour which included visits to winery, garden, vineyards, and hilltop tasting room. Michael was the host and did a great job of presenting the estate. And....the wine wasn't so bad either! Highly recommend

Jordan Winery is in my top 5 favorite wineries to visit globally. I recently had the pleasure to enjoy their Picnic Lunch Experience and it was a fantastic way to spend an afternoon relaxing on the Estate Chateau lawn enjoying the views, food and wine. Guests were provided with everything needed for the picnic from the moment they arrived. Simply bring yourself. The winery takes care of it all... from the high end blanket, to the picnic basket, to gourmet lunch items to choose from created by the estate chef using local ingredients and of course guests also receive a bottle of wine to enjoy together and a glass of bubbly handed to them as soon as they arrive. Jordan Winery knows how to create a memorable experience for guests!! The service, staff and property is always presented at the highest level of quality. Thank you to the whole team for making my last visit so amazing! Check out the photos! It really was an awesome time. When in Sonoma County, Jordan Vineyards & Winery is a must visit location.

I had a flew friends fly out for my birthday. I had gotten some recommendations to hit Bella and it did NOT disappoint. We booked the private tour. I’m so glad we did. The first thing we were told was to not feel rushed. We were taken through the property with such care and passion. The wine was amazing. I included a ton of pictures. The property is gorgeous. My group couldn’t say enough great things. Can’t wait to come back. You won’t regret booking. Thanks for making my birthday trip so memorable.

My husband and I had an amazing time at Bella Vineyards. We only had time for one winery while in the area, and Bella Vineyards turned out to be the perfect choice. The atmosphere was beautiful and peaceful, with live music and great views. Alex was so friendly and knowledgeable on the wines served. You can tell how much love and passion he has for wines. He even took us for a walk around the wine caves after our tasting. Could not recommend more!! If you are in the area, you need to stop here.

Loved the atmosphere and the wines. The ru brand was our favorite and took home a few bottles of the sparkling rosè. Would have loved to give the place 5 stars but we didn’t have the best experience with our tasting guide. The caves are well worth the visit and it was also a beautiful day to sit outside by the picnic tables. Really nice place to visit when in Healdsburg!

I loved this visit to Bella! I’ve been twice before; it’s a favorite spot due to the small, family nature of it. It’s Sonoma County winemaking the way it should be… local, connected, fun (I.e., not stuffy and corporate). This time around we took the tour, which I recommend if you want an intro into the process, or if you just want to know more about Bella Vineyards’ winemaking. You taste wine on the go throughout the tour, which I thought was a nice touch. Garrett hosted our tour and was excellent - willing to answer questions, have fun, and go with the vibe of the group. He was also very knowledgeable of the local wineries, restaurants, history, etc. One bit of advice… you likely need a reservation to get the most out of your time. Sure, you may get to taste the wine without one, but you won’t have the same experience or attention (especially if they are busy).

We had such a great experience with Bella.First of all, each wine in the tasting experience was exceptional. Secondly, I called ahead to request space for my party of 8, as a surprise party. Everyone at Bella was extremely helpful in helping my group have a great time and surprising my fiancé.

We had a great time and the staff were all super friendly. We had made a reservation and it somehow got lost, and they still made time to give us a private tasting and tour. It was such a cool place and the wines were very good. It was a chilly day when we went and they provided us with blankets. I absolutely recommend making a reservation because they are normally pretty busy.

Jackie did an amazing job deconstructing each wine and made us feel so welcomed and cared for during our visit today. We're from chilly Idaho and we felt blessed to have her guide us through the tasting as we basked in the sun. Ryan's work as a winemaker is second to none and chatting with him about everything from winemaking to sailing as the day drew to a close made for an extraordinary visit. Please relay our gratitude to Ryan and Jackie for a genuinely memorable experience. - David & Ann

One of our favorite wineries in the region! The wines are delicious, everyone working there is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. On a sunny day there is no better spot to spend a few hours tasting some wines and taking in the view

One of our favorite vineyards in Healdsburg. A very relaxing vineyard with great wines and friendly staff. The tastings are held out on the main lawn picnic table and inside the wine caves. We had our tasting inside the wine cave followed by a glass of wine outside to listen to the live music and enjoy the spectacular views. The wood fire pizzas looked awesome. We will have to get one next time we come. Highly recommend this vineyard. Thank you for the awesome time.

Spectacular setting and landscape. Great wines with different options to choose from. A really nice experience. Loved the wine tasting menu.

Beautiful place. Friendly service. Awesome wines.

A relaxed and family friendly winery. Tastings are held out on the lawn with picnic tables. There were hula hoops and picnic maps available when I went, which my child loved. Managed to visit the wine caves and hike up the winery - spectacular views up the hill.

This winery was so cool. The caves are such a unique experience compared to other wineries in the area. Our tasting was held in the cave itself. Great atmosphere, better wine. Will definitely be back.

Fabulous grounds. The team is amazing from the moment you walk in. Definitely try the bubble room experiences..

Great wine, kind folk! We enjoyed our Mixed Varietal and cheese pairing. Learned about Estate wines and enjoyed the detailed descriptions. Beautiful and inviting tasting room. Relaxed, lingered and laughed with friends…a perfect afternoon.

Delightful bubbly experience at J ! It’s a semi formal winery, beautiful setting with both inside and outside seating. If you can definitely get an outdoor table booked. We were not able to get that and sat indoors. The wine tasting is super generous and a great value. We only got one cheese plate which was enough since we had dinner plans right after this. Great thoughtful pairing with the cheeses, exceeded my expectations. We did two separate flights so we could experience more variety. It was great. Our wine expert was an expert! we had 101 questions and he was not bored answering them. Made our experience that much better. They are not push but like most wineries will bring a price sheet and membership booklet in case you want to make a purchase. Cost wise this is a mid-level tasting but under $100 per person. If you get a membership they usually comp the tasting. In any case it’s a beautiful experience tasting variety of wines but especially their sparkling wines are the main event!!

I went this past Friday. Beautiful spot! Beautiful entrance with lush gardens. Arrived just before they opened at 11. We were the first ones to go in but it quickly filled. We had our tasting in the Legacy Room(?). I chose the bubbles option while my boyfriend had the reds flight. They were all great. Skipped on the snack options because we had just eaten breakfast, but the table next to us had very appetizing bites. The service was great and they were very friendly. Will return at some point!

Delicious lunch and wine pairing in the bubble room. Everything melted in your mouth. Strawberry soup, tempura fried asparagus short rib, and much more. By the time you go menu will have changed so wont give you all the details. Wines were also all excellent. From the rose, to an oaky chardonnay, Pinot noir (of which they have almost 20), and multiple sparklings. Nothing here I did not like and we left with a full case to take home. Oh…and also signed up for a membership to continue to enjoy this wine.

We had the lunchtime tasting menu at the Bubble Room. It was staggeringly good. A series of small dishes, each perfectly balanced and paired with a J wine. The Bubble Room is an elegant modernist room with great views across the vineyards. the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. it's not cheap, but the food and wines are exquisite. Highly recommended.

Chef Ana Castro food/wine tasting was amazing. Flavors were so unique and her charisma makes it so much fun.

We always have a great time here especially in the bubble room. The staff is really friendly. They help carry our wine to the car each time. There is ample parking. The area is beautiful. The pinot noirs and sparkling here are great. The membership is definitely worth it

An incredible experience! I had lunch at the Bubble Lounge this past Sunday. Each course was a unique combination of tastes and textures. The chef came out an explained the inspiration behind each dish. There was a variety of cuisines - you could see influences from Italian, Middle Eastern, American, French and Asian. We started with an amuse bouche of caviar with mandarin gelee and parsnip caviar paired with a bright sparkling wine. I can’t do justice to explaining the dishes but a brief summary: octopus with chili oil, risotto, a creative twist on corned beef using cabbage, paired with roasted mushroom and a ginger hollandaise, then lamb kofta and finally a childhood inspired riff on orange creamsicles. The staff was attentive and answered all my questions. I was on my own which can sometimes feel awkward but they were welcoming. Each pairing of sparkling wine was a delight. The lamb dish was paired with a pinot noir that was so smooth. Lastly, the restaurant and the surroundings are stunning. Casually elegant, modern but not imposing. Thank you for an wonderful experience!

We went to the Jordan Valley Vineyards and participated in their estate tour and tasting. It was around a three two or three and a half hour tour with tastings and food along the way. It was a wonderful experience. The morning started out with champagne with fresh fruit preserves and pastries. We toured the inside of the wineries to see the barrel rooms and distilling process of the wines. Mid-morning we had a 2013 Jordan Chardonnay along with their Jordan estate extra virgin olive oil with a seasonal crudette and fresh bread to taste with the olive oil and wine. After touring the farm which included their Gardens and animals we toured the rest of the estate and had lunch at their Vista point top area and had three additional wines along with a very lovely paired lunch. The only feedback I would give is we needed a little bit more time with the lunch to actually drink the wines with the food items, it felt a little rushed towards the end where I felt like I was trying to drink the wine down as fast as I could without really enjoying it.

We've been members for years, and the tasting experience here is amazing, with great food pairings. Come here especially for the bubbles (the Pinot Noir is good but you can find comparable at other Russian River wineries, but also the Pinot Noir is *good*). Service is usually excellent and attentive.

Shaun did a great job with our cave tour! Very welcoming and knowledgeable staff and doggies to greet you - what can be better? Also, it’s nice not to have the pressure for everyone to taste and pay crazy money for the tasting. This visit reminded me why I fell in love with this region 20 years ago!

What an incredible experience at Alexander Valley Vineyards! This was a trip we will never forget and have been sharing pics with our friends and family since our stay. We enjoyed the beauty of the property, and had a thoughtfully curated wine tasting, followed by a tour of the wine caves. My husband and I had the opportunity to stay in the 1860’s schoolhouse, which is in the middle of the vineyard, surrounded by their farm, and stunning views. It was a surreal experience! The staff at AVV blew us away with their genuine hospitality and will be a definite destination for us on our returning trips!

We have visited Alexander Valley Vineyards winery many times over the years. As we live in the area, it has become one of our favorites; especially the rose! Please keep making it! 😁. We finally did the cave tour and loved it. There is some great history and tradition at this particular winery and I hope it's never lost nor forgotten. If you visit, try to take the cave tour, taste a few wines and definitely take a box or two home!

Truly outstanding!! If I could give more stars I would! Pamela helped us with a wine tasting, and she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the different wines, the regions in wine country, and dining in the area. We even got a bonus pour and she pretended that we had a coupon. Along with the samples, we got a glass of Pinot Noir and Rose. Everything is delicious, with my favorites being the Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and the Organically Grown Cabernet Sauvignon. You can also walk around the vineyards, which is super cool. Definitely recommend!

Decades of history, family and beauty surround this estate. . . and when you see it, smell it and taste it, you'll understand why because with history, family and beauty Alexander Valley Vineyards surpasses lovely!! My husband and I visited during harvest in early November [it was our 40 and 10 celebration, my first visit to CA and without the kids!] We saw first-hand what it takes to produce an extraordinary Cabernet! From quality control to pressing grapes and barrel aging in caves, AVV knows how to build character and (to put it simply,) "great wine!" We also had the pleasure of meeting Harry Wetzel, owner and original winemaker at AVV. His casual charm and simplicity - plus those suspenders! - but attention to detail took our breath away! The tasting room was also inviting, serving as a common place to learn and taste all Alexander Valley has to offer. Staff members were familiar with the history of the estate and thoroughly enjoyed sharing in the everyday stories dating back to Alexander himself. We look forward to returning. . . maybe this time we'll visit the old schoolhouse and the special place a top the hill, but until then; sip, savor and enjoy AVV!!!

Beautiful wine tasting today at Alexander Valley Vineyards!! The hosts were so sweet and welcoming. The tasting room/patio is surrounded by beautiful flowers and trees. Last but not least their wines are award-winning and tasted phenomenal. We bought several bottles! Highly recommended!!

What a beautiful visit to Alexander Valley Vineyards. Denise and Alyssa in the tasting room were excellent and delightful. Catching up with Katie Wetzel Murphy and a tour of the grounds and the caves were so memorable! Thank you ladies

What an amazing place! We where lucky enough to stay in the School House on the property. It was such a special visit. The team at AVV was so welcoming and helpful from our perfect private tasting to the restaurant recommendations and the over the top hospitality we received. Also, THE WINE, the wines we tasted (and purchased to enjoy in Chicago) where some of the best, most thoughtful wines I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. We will be back. My favorite highlight was the Vineyard dog, Hatti. She was so sweet and I can’t want to play fetch with her again.

It’s absolutely beautiful. Everyone, including the pets, were very friendly and knowledgeable. It was easy to setup a tour of the caves. We also had time for a tasting. The selection was wonderful. There were unique items we couldn’t resist in the gift shop. I recommend adding them to your itinerary.

This was such a lovely experience at a beautiful winery. We enjoyed a cave tour, the vineyard dog, the history lesson, the shop and the tasting of delicious wines along with our boxed lunch. Highly recommend.

What a fabulous experience. Friendly and very helpful staff Jess, Sadie and Petro. The caves were amazing! 8000 barrels. The wine is fabulous and delicious. Hattie the dog is so friendly and follows you through the caves tour. Thank you team for a great afternoon

Even though this vineyard may be a bit out of the way, it is well worth the trip. The wine was delicious, the tour of the wine cave was fun and informative, and our guide was very knowledgeable. Best of all, the tastings are a bargain compared to the cheap pours and high costs at so many of the other vineyards. The people that worked at the vineyard were all super friendly and knowledgeable about the wine. My family really enjoyed our time here and would absolutely recommend it for groups, couples, and even families with children. Thank you for a great experience.

Lovely setting, you can sit out on their front porch or go inside at the bar, you can order a cheese plate to have with your tasting. The dog is great. The staff is very welcoming and are happy to explain everything to you. Their wines are very reasonably priced.

This winery is stunning! The lands, facilities, and staff were all top notch. The wines are beautifully crafted with low intervention, and affordable! We were lucky enough o stay in the schoolhouse and share in the rich history of this winery and region. Thank you so much for your hospitality 🥂

Very relaxed and beautiful vineyard that is incredibly welcoming and hospitable. My son and I enjoyed time on their porch while I tasted their wines. Then we were both treated to a free cave tour too. My son loved it and I really appreciated being able to have my son join as many vineyards seem to be shutting out those with children. Service was friendly and personable and the wine was very tasty while being reasonably priced.

One of my favorite wineries in the bay area! After visiting many, many times I became a member and am so happy to have a reason to stop by more often. I love all of the wines and can't get enough of the surroundings - from the creek, to gardens, to goats, and more! Feeding the goats is a fabulous time for kids and adults alike. I usually pick up sandwiches from Dry Creek general on the way.

My husband and I played tourists for the day today and had a wonderful experience on the patio with all the great guys who pored us wines. Signing up for the wine club was a no brainer after seeing the beautiful grounds. Our pup Charlie completely agreed. We look forward to coming back out next month to pick up our WC. Thank you for making our anniversary just that much sweeter. Thank you guys!

This place is an absolute gem! I went with no reservation on a Thursday with my toddler and we were welcomed with open arms. The lady who did my tasting was so friendly (as well as everyone else we encountered) and made it such a wonderful experience. It was peaceful, picturesque, and also super fun for my toddler to see the goats, chickens, and beautiful flowers. Not to mention, the wine was spectacular. It’s rare to say I actually liked every wine during a tasting. However, I left with 3 bottles and would’ve bought more if my wallet would’ve allowed. The man tending to the garden even pulled up some red amaranth for my toddler to feed the goats. He had a blast and I was left with some of the best memories of my whole trip! They really went above and beyond to make our experience great and make us feel comfortable.

Our first time visiting Truett Hurst was five years ago and coming again was equally great. Great place to have a picnic and relax. Their setting is beautiful and they have farm animals to love on. Zinfandel rose is great for hot days. Our first trip we used the Adirondack chairs by the creek but those are exclusively for wine club members now.

Nice vineyard with goats, sheep and chicken and small farming area which is good for bringing along kids...similar to a year round pumpkin patch...staff are nice but quite sparse and thus long pauses between pours at the tasting...which ok in summer but tough to handle in winter with little area heating. Unfortunately wine was not as good as we would have preferred but experience and surrounding were nice. Definitely make reservations and bring warm clothes in fall/ winter as all seating is outdoor.

We made it to T.H. by chance early on Sunday and ending up finding our favorite winery in California. First, we were able to get wine by the glass and enjoy their beautiful grounds. Second, the wine was amazing. Third, the service was wonderful. Special call out to Bob R. for the added education and conversation!

Used to love Truett Hurst. . It’s been our go to for a relaxing and great experience for years.. After interacting with them no fewer than four times in the last 10 days, we showed up today for an 11:45 double confirmed reservation (as recently as yesterday), with friends from out of town….. to pull up to the gate closed and locked, and no one answering the phones. No signage, nothing. Closed for the day. They were apparently sold and they’re not actually serving anyone today, even though we had confirmed reservations. Disappointed doesn’t start to cover it.

First time visiting Truett Hurst winery in Sonoma County and it was a great experience. Truett Hurst, a holistic vineyard and farm located in the heart of Healdsburg’s Dry Creek Valley. Truett is adjacent with the YML winery. It is an extremely pleasant experience with a friendly staff, large parking area, and friendly livestock. They currently aren’t doing tastings, because of COVID-19. Once you arrive on property, you’re greeted by a staffer in the parking lot. Wine can be purchased by the glass or bottle, which can be enjoyed on the outside patio, near the creek, or near the livestock. I truly enjoyed my experience and would highly recommend this winery.

After joining a few other wine clubs prior to Stephen & Walker, I was stunned to find this winery and wish I had much sooner. On my first visit I met with Branden who was very knowledgeable on the wines and made sure to answer any questions I had. I especially enjoy bringing friends and family to try their wines, play games and relax. Their family and dog friendly environment are refreshing. Thank you for making this the place to be!

Excellent, smaller winery and tasting room. The service and tasting experience was superb, with a cheese pairing for most of the wine tastings. Very fun and tasty wines to sample. 🍷👍

It was our first time visiting S&W... and WOW each wine blew our other experiences out of the water. Smooth finishes, complex tastes, and the service was phenomenal. Our dog was welcomed with a bowl of water and all the pets! We instantly felt like family, joined the membership and walked away with a case of amazing wine. Thanks for having Us, we can’t wait to see you next time.

These people are more than accommodating. First time in town years ago, saw store front and it was closing time but they opened up for us for wine tasting. What gracious hosts! The wine is exquisite & always to be savored from all their selections. Not only a great find in Sonoma but always feeling welcomed there.

Love wine delivery day!! Visiting the Tasting room was one of our highlights during our stay in Healdsburg. We had just arrived and decided to walk the street to see what called us in. This was our first stop and the only place we went to twice. Debra was so friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Every wine we tasted was delicious, so much so, we signed up for the wine club so we can enjoy back at home. On our 2nd visit, we had an exciting surprise when the winemaker, Nancy Walker, was there and we got to meet her.

My husband and I are wine club members at Stephen and Walker and have always had a great experience when visiting the tasting room. When we arrived yesterday (6/25), the bar was empty except for 3 people sitting at the far end (see picture). We started to sit at the other end of the empty bar and the woman working behind the bar ran over to us and said that we could not sit at the bar and to sit anywhere else. We were taken aback by her bizarre behavior but knew why she banned us from the bar. We sat at a table and were helped by a young lady who was very pleasant and helpful. About 30 minutes in, a woman walked in and sat at the bar. The woman behind the bar (learned her name was Debra Chambers), greeted her and asked if she was there for a tasting. The women said she was picking up her wine shipment. Debra asked if she wanted a splash of anything and proceeded to pour wines for her while my husband and I looked on in astonishment. We were there over an hour and that woman was the only person who sat at the bar. We were bothered by the experience and tried not to let it damper our tasting. While the young lady was gathering our wine shipment, Debra called over to us saying, I didn’t know you were wine club members, you are sitting so far away……???? I responded that she never asked if we were members or even greeted us, instead, you banned us from the bar. No response received. Debra Chambers seems to have a desired group of people she prefers to serve. Clearly, we were not part of that group.

My husband and I did a walk in tasting. We are from out of state so we are not part of the wine club. The service was quick and friendly. They were having a sale on select bottles if you purchased four bottles. The tasting included bottles that were part of the sale so you knew what you were getting. Not only that they wave the tasting fee if you purchase a bottle! We will definitely go back if we are in the area again.

We have been members for years. The wine is exceptional and Debra always makes us feel like we are coming home. Only wine club we need to belong to.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Since 2015, when I first tried it, this has been my favorite wine of all the wine (and I've tried quite a few). If you're ever in Healdsburg and want an amazing experience that makes you compare all wine experiences with the very best, please visit Stephen and Walker. Tell Debra Chambers I said Hi. She is the most wonderful. ❤️❤️❤️

Debra provided a one of a kind experience for us while we visited for a girls trip! She is knowledgeable about the wines and her special addition to pairing the wines with specific cheeses, made this wine tasting extra special. Oh, the wine here is amazing as well.. we purchased several bottles to take home. Thank you Debra!!

My wife and I didn't like any of the wines here, it just wasn't to our taste. we kinda felt like there must have been some additives to the wine. A few wines tasted more like spritzers than wine. The staff was very nice though, decent tasting room and was cool with a local band playing. Just the wine was not to our taste.

We have had many RS wines over the years, and belonged to the wine club for some time too. We were recently in Sonoma, so we arranged a tasting. Our host Ron did an outstanding job of describing the wines, the winemaking process, food pairings, and many, many other things. And, he took his time to answer all our questions, and there were lots. He introduced us to the Club coordinator Katy, and we're now back in. This was just a great experience overall. Very highly recommended!

Went here back in July 2015 for a Kenny Loggins concert and just realized I never wrote a review. The grounds and buildings are immaculate, it is a beautiful location and the staff here are amazing. The next day I came back and bought a few bottles and their wine is absolutely delicious. Sadly I haven't seen it where I live now, but I would definitely buy more if I could and I would definitely go to future concerts or other events here as well.

I will never return to this venue. The parking and shuttle were easy. The event area was very nice even though the stage isn't much of a stage. Those are the only good things I have to say. I woke up this morning still mad about our experience there. Without question this was the most hassled I have even been at a concert. The sold-out audience was almost exclusively over 50 so you might expect a respectful, quiet crowd but it was nothing like that where we were. We were on the outer aisle against the building in the seated area. Before the concert, many people were standing in the shade but once it began the entire area was filled with people from the lawn seating and others who simply didn't want to sit in their seats. People were also crowded behind me as we were in the last row. This was only mildly annoying. The real problem was the number of people who were heavily intoxicated. Loud talking, screaming, stumbling as they danced. Many people seated in our area were unhappy and annoyed. The volunteers(?) and the security did nothing. No asking people to return to their area, no asking people to behave. Nothing. In the middle of the concert a severely drunken man (and badge-wearing wine club member) leaned on me and told me he needed to sit in my seat because he couldn't find his. A few minutes later he stood behind me and put his hands around my neck. The only reason he didn't get thrown to the ground was because I didn't want to be the a-hole who punched a rich 65 year-old. I did convince him to never come near me or my daughters again. I'm sure the venue absolves themselves of the behavior of their patrons but they clearly have no control and no policies in place so that others can enjoy the show. Good luck driving the roads after a show here.

I went here today with a couple of friends for a tasting. It was really fun and the Pinot noirs were so good. Nice earthy and fruity tones. The grounds are super pretty. I love the walk up to the tasting room and walking down from the back the stairs are a bit slanted which was cool. They were having a spring market event with cool vendors like jewelry, candles things like that. There was this cool taco truck that also sold sandwiches. I tried the pulled pork melt with two types of cheeses on sourdough. It was absolutely amazing. Want to come back for sure.

Came here for a tasting and can't say enough good things! The tasting room staff is so knowledge and passionate about their wines. They took the time to answer our questions about not just the wines we were tasting but the entire process starting from where the grapes come from and how they are picked to what the different varieties consisted of and where we could find their wines back home. Great experience and even better wine. Highly recommend the rose and the Brothers vintage!

The wines and service were excellent. Ron and Amy-Jo were fantastic guides on our wine experience. We especially enjoyed the Pinot Noir and Alexander Crown Cabernet Sauvignon.

Well I did not go to the winery, I did come across this wine in Las Vegas. So it's unbelievably smooth, it's buttery but not too buttery. It's fruity but not too fruity. What an incredible blend. This is a home run. This is not a base hit. Get this wine, Cabernet 2020, from Sonoma.

What an amazing experience. Excellent cabernet paired with an excellent host, Gus. If you love cabernet this is a must visit place

Ashley (I hope that's the correct spelling) was so wonderful greeting us. It was a last minute diversion after Armstrong redwoods. We remembered years ago stopping and enjoying all the wines we tasted at Rodney Strong. That never happens to me and my wife at the same winery. She was able to squeeze us in as a walk in. She treated us with so much kindness and was such a delight. We are thrilled to be her first wine club members. The Terrace was beautiful and it was nice having a grassy area for our toddler to run around a bit after sitting still for a tasting. Towards the end of our visit Evan came over and shared some amazing port with us. We were very grateful for our time at Rodney Strong and were delighted with another outstanding tasting.

Aiden did a great job hosting our tasting of small lot, exceptional reds (Rowen collection). The entire experience was first class-reservation process with reminders, tasting room layout and appointments, interesting snacks and refund of tasting fee with two bottle purchase. A highlight of our trip from Pennsylvania!!

Ron was our delightful sommelier. He was charming knowledgeable and witty. His attentiveness and amazing personality stole our hearts and our taste buds. He even converted our "Red wine loving friend" to a "I'll give it a try " kind of person. That within itself is a great feat. Thank you Ron!! You gave us a VIP experience and we can't wait to return just to see again!

Commodities Relocation Specialist here. I was here, two weeks ago, for a pickup. Every person I interacted with was professional and courteous. I was loaded, well under an hour, with BOL in hand. After being loaded, I pulled off to the side of the vineyard, just past the loading dock, and had my lunch in a quite stress-free area; those who drive, know how rare this can happen. Thank you, for allowing me that quite time, at your facility, after being loaded.

I highly recommend the 5 Course food and wine pairings. The wine is great but when you try it with the pairings it opens up a whole New World. The chef coming up with these pairings is a genius and super friendly. Everyone there is very friendly and welcoming.

Wonderful boutique winery. We found them on Groupon and ended up becoming members. They have multiple member events during the year offering delicious food with the wines. Always a great afternoon where we bring two friends and we really enjoy the conversation and wine pairings. We are still members 8+ years later and love going there for the pickup events or an occasional other time. The food pairings are delicious and the great staff and (now also the new) owners are always fun to talk with.

Five star experience for sure! Lisa was very friendly and entertaining during the food and wine pairing. She did an excellent job at selecting food and wine that complemented each other perfectly through every course.

We did a wine tasting here that was fabulous. The cinque gemma was delicious, and they had a unique dessert wine that truly tastes like chocolate (left in cocoa barrels). All the people who worked here were very knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend for anyone in town to try some delicious wines!

We had such an amazing time at Sapphire Hill! Such amazing food and wine pairing! Lisa is a true culinary artist and the hospitality was unmatched! We all left with some very delicious and unique wines that we can’t wait to enjoy later! From the flavor explosion of water Mellon salad to Caramel drizzled brownies each wine and course left us all mesmerized! Definitely put this Gem on your list of must visits!

This is a small boutique-style winery. The staff here always makes you feel very welcome and treats you almost like family. The wine is excellent and the food pairings delicious.

What a fantastic gem. The owners were very friendly and the service was 5 star. Wines are great. Coming from Australia and was worth the trip. Do not leave the area without visiting here.

Went here with a Groupon for a wine and food pairing for two. Girlfriend and I really enjoyed ourselves. The owners were extremely nice and clearly cares about their craft. The food was excellent and the wines were very good. Portions were pretty small but it was overall pretty filling. You definitely don’t need to starve yourself before hand to finish all your meals. I’d recommend it if you are into trying new wines and like good food and friendly atmosphere.

Great area for hicking, boating, fishing, horseback riding, air guns, and archery range and so much more...and now we have a happy mere almost to capacity!

Looks amazing when it's at capacity. Just make sure you check for ticks.

Beautiful retreat. I used to go here to get off the grid foe a while. I moved back east recently, but I definitely miss this place.

We had a lovely time at Lake Sonoma. 8 of us rented a boat for the day and cruised around. The water is quite low, but wow, so beautiful, clean and refreshing. Parking seemed a bit tricky. Best to drop all your gear at the bottom of the hill and send just one person to go park the car on the hill. Highly recommend partaking in some boating and water FUN here. The view are spectacular.

Great lake for tubing! Huge water area. Not a lot of shore line to put a tent area and go in and out of the water but still way better than the delta if you have kids.

Beautiful location for he Ironman Santa Rosa, video of a an amazing Hawks best upon going over the bridge

Amazing Lake with great views. Alot bigger than I first thought. Great to hire a pontoon on and explore
