Amazing tasting with great views and wines. Our guide, Ally, was simply delightful!

What a lovely winery. Not only are the views incredible, but the knowledge of the hostess made it perfect. Six of us went to this tasting. They put us in a private room (south facing), with 9the most beautiful view. Nicole was our hostess and she was truly amazing. Nicole made sure we were enjoying ourselves and knowledgeable about our wines. Definitely will come back here.

We have had the absolute BEST time with Nicole today! She is so knowledgeable and so friendly, she welcomed us with open arms. She made our time at Aperture even better. She is amazing at her job at such a young age- so impressive! We loved her and would highly recommend you spend your time at Aperture with Nicole ❤️

Loved this winery! It was perfect for even a rainy day. Has a very beautiful, modern interior. Friendly & personable staff. We were not shoved a winery membership down our throats which was much appreciated. Great mix of whites & reds in our tasting. We loved the Oliver Ranch cab. They even had comfy blankets if you were cold. Would definitely recommend it to anyone!

My wife and I scheduled a tasting with Aperture and have nothing but great things to say. We aren't wine experts, and our experience was incredible.The setting is amazing, it's fairly close to a main road but they're done a great job arranging your view and sightlines. The architecture, design and landscape architecture are all well done.The wines are fantastic. The Chenin Blanc was surprisingly enough my wife and I's favorite.Our host was Nicole, and she was also just incredible. We sat in the South Tasting Room (I think that was what they called it), and if I went back, I'd request that room.Incredible service, setting, design, drink, and they make you feel like you're their only guest. Make sure you schedule at least two months in advance and you'll love it.

I had Aperture on my radar for a while, and despite not having a reservation, we decided to drop in to see if they could accommodate us. Unfortunately, they strictly operate on reservations, but a kind solo traveler allowed us to join in on his tasting.The tasting room itself is stunning, offering a picturesque view of the vineyards that adds to the overall experience. The wines are exceptional, and the hospitality is truly top-notch. Phil, our host, went above and beyond, providing us with ample history about Aperture.I'll undoubtedly be returning the next time we find ourselves in Healdsburg. Aperture's combination of breathtaking scenery, excellent wines, and exceptional service is an experience worth revisiting

I arrived at Aperture bright and early for our soil series tasting on a typically crisp Sonoma morning. Despite being just off the main road, the tasting room seemed to transport us to a secluded countryside idyll.The rows of vines, bright and leafy in this first blush of summer, were perfectly framed the mountains rising in the distance. Coming from the son of a famous photographer, I guess I’d expect nothing less.Our hostess, Mackenzie, was so much fun. Despite only knowing us for a few minutes, she made an effort to tailor our tasting to our individual tastes and experiences. We talked about everything from the winemakers formative inspiration to climate change and the future of viticulture in the region.The variety and versatility of the wines we tasted totally blew my mind. During our tasting we learned that the winemaker, Jesse, sees his work as an extension of the same storytelling and artistry he learned through his father.Even as casual tasters, this sense of artistry was evident in every glass. Each wine we tasted was truly special, reflecting a sense of both place and time.The wines, hospitality, and design at Aperture Cellars were all equally stunning. Despite its buzz and popularity, there wasn’t an ounce of pretension or snobbiness either. Just a true love of wine.I’d recommend a visit to Aperture Cellars to any friend in a heartbeat, and can’t wait to return to explore the rest of their wines again soon myself.

@aperturecellars is a beautiful setting with balanced wines.We were sat in a room with 3 walls of windows that looked out on the grounds and vines.We really liked the Chenin blanc and Del rio vineyard cab.

Absolutely LOVE this place. Makenzie was incredible and so knowledgeable. We laughed so much with her. The wine is delicious and the views are stunning!!!

We left feeling a bit disappointed after all the hype surrounding this winery. The wines were all just “meh”. Definitely has a Napa-esque vibe to it.

We hosted a private event and curated dinner and wine experience for clients. The architecture is astounding, the grounds are pristine, the wine was out of this world, and the service was impeccable. It was such a great evening. Thanks to Jesse and the Aperture team for their hospitality. Look forward to visiting again the next time I'm in Healdsburg.

Had a very nice tasting but got chased out of the vineyard for taking a pic. Such paranoia is hardly welcoming.and we won't be back. Such behavior goes to the top and my reaction naturally is never again!
