“Absolutely delicious and visually gorgeous food! The food was fresh and incredibly flavorful. A new favorite place to eat and shop in Healdsburg!! Excellent friendly service and great ambience. I am now on a mission to learn how to cook vegetable based foods like that!“
“Top notch and the perfect setting for a getaway.“

“I went to Acorn Cafe expecting a nice, responsible lunch. I left in a food coma, questioning every healthy choice I’ve ever made, and honestly? Zero regrets.
The place has serious range — breakfast, brunch, lunch, indoor seating, outdoor seating with an actual fireplace (fancy), and a friendly & professional staff.
I ordered the fried chicken sandwich against my better judgment — I usually treat deep-fried anything like a suspicious email attachment — and it was a full personality shift. Absolutely delicious. It came with homemade togarashi potato chips, which is not a combination I asked for but is one I will now demand for the rest of my life.
My dining companion got the breakfast burger, which somehow contains an egg AND hash browns INSIDE the burger, like the chef looked at breakfast and lunch and said “why not both, simultaneously, in your hand.” Perfection. Structurally impressive. Emotionally overwhelming.
The turkey clubhouse club also showed up and showed out — and bonus, some proceeds go to the local Boys & Girls Club, so you can feel slightly virtuous while inhaling bacon.
Verdict: We’re going back. We have breakfast entrees left to conquer, and frankly, I think Acorn Cafe has earned the right to ruin more of my meals.“

“We had a great prix fixe meal of 3 courses but the also offer 5 courses. No bad selections except for the cauliflower steak. I don’t think that is worth a steak or shrimp pasta but that is my opinion. Outdoor dining is available and they have heaters by the wall of sliding windows that open up totally he outside. Awesome deserts. I had the cookie butter cheesecake. I died and went to heaven.“

“Definitely one my favorite restaurants, but the food was off just a bit last night. The Pastelitos de papa were on the cold side and didn't seem to be made to order. Also, had the petrale sole special and the beans in the topping were also cold. Carlos wasn't there that night and it was my only visit where the food wasn't perfect. I'm sure it will be great next time!“
“Fun time. Awesome grounds too.“
“I belonged to Amista 9 or 10 years ago. Attending #PassporttoDryCreek there in April, my girlfriend and I decided to join. I’ve always loved their sparkling wines. They have some wonderful new ones now.
I’m very happy with everything ever the prices! 😘“
“Loved coming here with a friend and her two dogs, very welcoming crew on the patio and we had such a relaxing time. The Pinots were amazing and Devon (spelling?) was so knowledgeable about the wines and explaining the different vintages as well as the wine sourcing. Very good time and would come here again!“
“Great, full bodied Zinfandels. We loved everything we tasted. If you’re a zin fan, Rockpile is a must visit.
We particularly enjoyed the wines made by Diane, the co-owner.
Nicole in the tasting room was as friendly and knowledgeable as we could have imagined, too.“
“One sip and you are hooked! What else can you say! Love love love“
“Love the atmosphere and champagnes !! Joined my first wine club with them !!“
“It was an exceptional visit to Limerick Lane Winery. We did our tasting outside among the grape vines. It is a beautiful place and our host Andy was fun, knowledgeable and happy to have us. I highly recommend a visit the wines are first class. We did take a bottle with us and shipped home some more. Thanks again.“
“Experience is superb! This family winery is large sale but still very close to their hearts. Katie, Hank, Linda and Harry were amazing hosts. Their winemakers were very busy yet still open to answer questions. Highly reccomend!“
“Outstanding experience at the Headelsburg tasting room, thanks to Tony, our primary server, and Joe. Experienced exceptional wines and we learned so much about the varietals and history of the vineyard. Great conversation, too. Williamson was the highlight of our short stay in Headelsburg.“

“Had lunch for the first time here today, a delicious one! The menu is huge, so I look forward to trying so many of their authentic dishes. Happy to have them in Healdsburg. -Ali Story“
“A wonderful visit with beautiful views, warm service, relaxing ambiance, and delicious food. The tasting was excellent, and Thomas George Estates is a lovely choice among Russian River Valley wineries.
Got to enjoy a small tour as well as talk to a wine maker as well!
10/10 would come back again!“
“Beautiful scenery, great wines & the staff are amazing with great service and knowledge! Really had a fabulous time there!🍷“
“We met some friends here on a lovely but cool spring Sunday afternoon. We had such a lovely experience that we were the last visitors to leave, but the staff couldn’t be more patient. We had the charcuterie board with our tasting, and it was the most unique and delicious collection of local items. Both the wines were unique, flavorful, and reasonably priced. We loved it so much that the two couples each decided to join their club. While we went in loving the Sauvignon Blanc, we were most impressed with their Zins. They also offered our non drinker with a delicious sparkling water. We will return!“
“Porter Creek Winery was such a peaceful gem and one of the highlights of our wine country trip. The team (Crystal) went above and beyond to accommodate us, even staying a little late so we could enjoy the experience — and we’re so grateful they did!
The setting was absolutely stunning — quiet, serene, and surrounded by natural beauty. It was the kind of view that makes you want to take a deep breath and stay a while. The wines were just as memorable, especially the Zinfandels — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced.
To top it all off, we were greeted by Poppy, the sweetest dog who made the whole experience even more charming. Between the warm hospitality, the incredible wines, and the peaceful ambiance, it was the perfect way to wind down our day.
Highly recommend Porter Creek for anyone looking for a relaxing, intimate tasting experience with a personal touch.“
“Came here on a Tuesday around noon to try the "block stars" tasting flight. I ended up being the only customer till about 3 and had a great time getting to know Pam in the tasting room and learning more about the history of the vineyards! The wine was great (especially the sparkling pinot noir) and their location is perfect for sitting out on the back patio to enjoy the vineyards and mountains. Definitely a great stop!“
“We had an awesome tasting yesterday at this amazing winery. Robin was very friendly and excited about the different types of wines. She explained all the options throughly. We can not wait to get back home to try our selections for different dinners. Thanks again for everything.“
“Such a relaxing environment and amazing wines“
“We spent a most enjoyable hour-plus not only tasting some great spirits (the rye whiskey and the coffee liqueur were stand-outs) but talking with Daniel about Alley 6's history, distilleries generally, where they get some of their less well known botanicals, and much more -- a great visit and a reminder that you have to go craft if you want to find some of the best whiskeys out there. Highly recommended!“

“Healdsburg's best kept secret is Otoro Sushi, but thankfully it doesnt stop at just sushi. I happened upon this restaurant after going to my favorite place to shop for landscaping sculptures and misc. decor in Healdsburg, Garrett Hardware which happens to Otoro. Today, on my way home from UCSF we decided to try it out and to say we were in love at first bite would not be an understatement. We started off with a bowl of their soup which was delightful followed by a serving of tempura vegetables 😋😜 and we could not get enough or pick which one was our favorite. Then onto the main course one Bento Box with Teriyaki Chicken and its sides along with our sushi which consisted of 2- California Rolls, 2-Shrimp Tempura Rolls, 1-Yum Yum Roll 😋 (My Favorite) It came by its name for a reason and finally a Jalapeño Bomb Roll which is going home to the boy . 👦The only thing I forgot to add is I cant wait to go back.“
“We’ve been members at Talty Winery for over 10 years, and there’s a reason we keep coming back. 🍷 This place is more than a winery—it’s a home away from home. Michael, the owner and winemaker, makes every visit feel personal. His passion for Zinfandel shines through not only in the wine (which is consistently incredible), but in the warmth and hospitality he shows to every guest. The Zins are some of our all-time favorites, and sharing a glass with Michael always feels like catching up with an old friend. Talty isn’t just a stop on the wine trail—it’s a tradition for us. ♥️“
“My brother made reservations while we were going to a few wineries in the area.
The day we went was a tad rainy but the weather made the experience more special.
We were greeted by a cute grey tabby while we waited for our table.
Once seated we were welcomed with delicious wines and great ambience.
Slowly other wine tasters left and our group was the last.
Super charming and personalable winery.
Not to mention the wine will blow your socks off.
Highly recommend!“
“We had the pleasure of visiting Mauritson winery last week. What a great find. We were not familiar with their wines, but another winery staff member suggested it based on our interests. Make an appointment and give it a try if you enjoy good Zinfandels. You will not be disappointed.“
“Favorite wine tasting I’ve done to date. Our server was excellent, and the grounds are beautiful. Wandering around the gardens was a fun bonus, as was saying hi to Winston the pig (their mascot). Get a charcuterie board to accompany your tasting; well worth it!“
“Jordan Winery is the kind of place that reminds you wine country is about far more than what’s in the glass. Beautiful without being precious, refined without losing its soul, Jordan brings together exceptional wine, serious food, and an estate that begs to be explored. The hospitality is warm, the setting is spectacular, and every detail feels intentional without ever feeling forced.
This isn’t just a winery visit—it’s a proper taste of Sonoma, served with a little French soul. Come hungry, stay awhile, and let Jordan do the rest.“
“We love pinot noir, so Gary Farrell was at the top of our list and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We arrived an hour early because we weren’t sure about traffic, and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. The lovely Jessie hosted us, and she was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful, even offering to tailor our tasting to feature only pinots.
I highly recommend adding the charcuterie board, it pairs beautifully with the wines, though they also offer crackers if you prefer something lighter. We enjoyed the experience so much that we ended up joining their wine club. Truly an amazing find.“
“We had a great tasting experience with Lana. The setting is very tranquil and relaxed, the wine is excellent, and the hosts are warm and personable. It’s quite literally off the beaten path by a few miles, but that’s part of what makes a visit special.“
“Phenomenal hospitality in a gorgeous vineyard setting. We had a private tasting poolside with generous pours overlooking the expansive vineyard. Very down-to-earth and knowledgeable owners. Highly recommend stopping by for a tasting and some bottles.“
“Beautiful place. Slightly off the path. Sets high on a hill. Two sides of the property have delightful cozy garden seating with epic views of surrounding mountains & hills. This place will NOT disappoint. We enjoyed the rose. The stone red was smoky and rich if you desire a fantastic red. Bring your own snacks. The out front road is not very busy. Beautiful architecture & great grounds.“
“We visited Blanchard Family Wines January 2024. Mark (one of the owners ) spent well over an hour with us talking about their wines and about how he and his brother came to own a winery. We were so impressed with him and the wine! So much so we joined their club and have enjoyed every bottle. We don't claim to be wine cononosours but we have tasted enough wine to know the good from the bad. We love their wine and measure everyone else's against Blanchard. Mark is always attentive and helpful. We feel that we've joined more than a wine club. Thanks Mark for making our wine drinking so enjoyable.“
“Located towards the back of an industrial park in Healdsburg sits a hidden gem. When you’re tired of wine tasting or if you truly love a unique experience come and try some amazing craft distilled liquor.
Tim and Shennon make some of the finest spirits I have ever tried.
The Highlight for me on this visit was the Hobs Heavy barrel aged gin, it’s truly exceptional.
The Sherry cask and Port finish bourbons are nice additions to their lineup. They have a wonderful single barrel 4 year 4 grain mash as well.“
“Fantastic wines and such a fun night shared with my friends in 3 different states. We loved it!“
“Wow -We visited the large house and winery. It was an amazing experience, wonderful wines and fantastic sunsets
The owners, John & Abbey were gracious and really informative
I’m planning on returning to this wonderful estate“

“Today we visited Overshine Winery in Healdsburg, California, and had such an amazing experience! The wines were absolutely delicious, super refreshing, fruit-forward, and different from the typical Sonoma County wine experience in the best way possible.
The property itself is beautiful, and the atmosphere is laid-back, welcoming, and fun. One of the things we loved most was learning about their unique backstory and the passion behind the winery.
They’re also incredibly dog-friendly, which made the visit even more special. They didn’t just allow dogs, they welcomed them with water, treats, and biscuits for our furry friends!
If you’re visiting the area and looking to support a local business with great wine, great people, and a chill vibe, I highly recommend checking out Overshine Winery for yourself. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Dragon Roll highly recommended as with the legendary Seaweed Salad as a starter. I am very particular and critical in preparation and presentation. All my expectations are fulfilled. Come hungry and without any time constraints to fully enjoy this hand work.“
“J Vineyards & Winery offers a beautiful and relaxing outdoor tasting experience. The setting is peaceful and elegant, making it the perfect place to slow down and enjoy the wines. The sparkling wines were especially impressive, crisp, beautifully balanced, and very enjoyable. The service was knowledgeable and attentive without feeling rushed. A lovely destination for anyone who appreciates excellent sparkling wine in a gorgeous Wine Country setting.“
“We were surprised, not only is there a great scenery with the rolling hills, the wine does not disappoint and is as good or better than wineries in the area.
Corey was an absolutely amazing host. Would recommend anything from the Russian river for an easy drink.“
“Comstock Wines is set in an absolutely beautiful location. We had a seated tasting with Erik, who was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the wines. He made the entire experience both memorable and enjoyable. I learned a lot about wine, and his enthusiasm truly made the experience unforgettable! We loved the wines so much that my father-in-law even bought half a case to be shipped home to Florida. All in all, it was a fantastic experience.“
“What a beautiful vineyard and what great wine with great service!! Was so fun discussing wine and travel with Kent who was such a great host! The most delicious Chardonnay and appreciate the cheese/food pairing ideas! GREAT recommendations!“
“We had a great experience here. The tasting was primarily Zinfandels, which is very common at wineries in Dry Creek Valley, but all of them were very good considering the tasting fee was $25 and they waived it with a bottle purchase.
What really made our visit special though was the tasting area had a beautiful view of the valley and the staff were incredibly friendly as well as knowledgeable about the wines and history of the winery. The patio is dog friendly and they have a lawn area if the dogs need to relieve themselves which makes sense once you hear from the staff how much the owners love dogs.
The experience was the perfect balance of not being overly pretentious while also maintaining the class and scenic beauty you expect at a winery. We will absolutely be coming back again.“
“We stopped by on a warm Saturday afternoon, without a reservation and were pleased to be seated right away. From the moment you pull in, you feel at home. Bocce in the courtyard, pups on site, a water view among the vines. The balcony was shaded with umbrellas allowing the sun to warm the soul. The wines are part of the Wilson family, and we were so pleased with all of the pinot noirs. We could have spent the entire afternoon there.“
“Michael and Phil are super star hosts! Excellent wines and beautiful views!“
“Wonderful service, location, and historically excellent wines.“
“We have been coming here for a long time. They have great wine and the staff never disappoints. Greg gave us top notch hospitality while we were back in town and made it feel as special as our first time in some years ago. Thanks so much ??“

“The food experience IMHO was an amazing visual and gastronomy event - the wine pairing was extremely good - I was particularly excited to have Krug on the opening and an amazing finish with Yquem. Our wine specialist/somm, Matt made my evening and I’ll post a picture why. Hats off to the crew behind the scenes and who tended to us - worth every penny to us and more. I can’t wait to see what future experiences here unfold.“
