Great hidden winery. A must visit for locals and tourists. Ask for Carlisle. She is an amazing ambassador for the winery.

Nice experience. Good Zinfandel.

Doug was my host and he treated me like an old friend. When I looked closely at the wine list I noticed they had personalized it with my name printed in the same font as the menu, it wasn't added later, I was touched.

Outstanding wines and staff!! Mauritson was our favorite winery during our weekend visit to Healdsburg and Geyserville. The staff went above and beyond for us. I made a reservation in advance, they customized our tasting menu to welcome us and even added our pups name to it. They gave our dog a water bowl, and heart shaped biscuit treats—truly a dog friendly place! The wines were amazing it was hard to pick our favorite. We went home with two bottles of their Sauvignon Blanc, but they have outstanding Zins and Cabs as well. Make sure to add this place to your list!

Hands down some of the best wine I have had. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Their Jacks Cabin Zin was just incredible. Ask about their history, it’s a great story of a family owned winery. I will be back.

Lovely place with amazing people passionate about their wine. We felt welcomed here. The winery has a wide range of options in Rockpile AVA, which we considered quite complex and delicious, and their Dry Creek wines are beautifully made and approachable.

This winery and wine tasting experience is the best in Sonoma/Napa region (even though we only visited 6 wineries during our weekend visit of June 8-9)! As soon as we entered the winery, our gracious host, Doug, greeted us and welcomed us as if we were family! We tried such a variety of wines from white, to rose, to red and they were all soo delicious! I believe we were supposed to technically have only 5 different wine samples, but as we engaged into the tasting, Doug could quickly pick up what each of us liked and catered to us even more wine samples.
Doug did a wonderful job explaining the history of the winery, its founders, details of the different grapes and growing conditions. Heck, he even brought out 2 different jars of soils so that we could see how much of a difference it has on the grapes and ultimately wine flavor profile. Me being a civil engineer, I just lit up when I saw the soils and got the chance to analyze it. I promise not to get enginerdy in my post but this was soo cool!
Thank you Doug for the lunch recommendation at Dry Creek General Store and their delicious sandwiches! Sincerely, your friends from Tarnow, Poland.

The Port. Try and then buy the Port. I have dreamed about it since I last had it years ago.

Enjoying a 2019 Rockpile Red Wine with smoked beef brisket. Excellent wine ?
On Oct 22nd a group of 6 of us had a great guided tour and tasting at the Rockpile Vineyard led by Carrie Mauritson. As she drove us out to the vineyard she gave us a nice history of the winery and the vineyard. Due to windy conditions we had to move the tasting from the top of the mountain down to Jacks Cabin. Still a spectacular view and a nice place to have an outdoor tasting. The wines we tasted were awesome. Carrie spent a lot of time with us answering all of our questions and explaining each wine. We tasted six wonderful wines which included rose, zinfindel, malbec and cabernet sauvignon. The highlight for me was the 2016 Madrone Spring. This was one of the most laid back and best tasting experiences we have ever had and given the opportunity will revisit the next time I make a visit to the area.

Great winery to visit. I have been buying great wine from here since 2009. Rockpile wines are the best and worth cellaring.
