50 Best Wineries in Healdsburg

“We had a great time at Spicy Vines Winery. We did a reserve tasting with a cheese pairing. The wine was amazing and the staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time here and will be recommending it to all of our friends!“

“The beautiful scenery and peaceful atmosphere at Dry Creek Vineyard make it a perfect place to unwind and relax. I have been a member of this vineyard for over 3 years now, and I have always been impressed with the knowledgeable and friendly staff, as well as the consistently high quality of their wines. Whether I have a lot of time to spare or just a quick visit, I always leave feeling satisfied and happy.

“We were treated to a great afternoon of wine and wit! Jonathan DeMichael was the perfect host. We enjoyed our tasting inside at the cute counter and outside at a small intimate table. Thank you Jonathan for excellent service and stories of the vineyard. Highly recommended!!“

“Went here today with a group of 7. Couldn’t have been better honestly. Ellyn, was an amazing host. Met us at the door and waved as we were driving away. Engaging, funny, and professional. The wines across the board were impressive. Really liked the width of styles in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Don’t miss it. Views are beautiful as well.“

“The winery is set in a beautiful location. We enjoyed the wines at our tasting. The charcuterie board was excellent.., the best of any we enjoyed in the Sonoma area.
Kerri was our server! She was fun, funny, knowledgeable. We visited with the proprietor, Vicky. She is fun and a delight! She answered so many questions about wines and vineyards and the growing process, etc. She knows A LOT! It was a lovely experience and a delightful way and place to several hours of an afternoon.“

“Easily the best tasting I've done -- like other tastings, you can probably get better wine for the price if you know your taste and spring for a bottle or two but the experience of trying a bunch of different wines (including some you would never had know that you would like before you tried them!) is really fun and the wine here is very, very good and several notches above other local wineries that do tastings. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“We had an excellent visit to Unti in October. Very friendly and knowledgeable team and excellent wines. Highly recommend! It's not a big tasting room, but it's "old school Sonoma County" charm - definitely worth making a reservation!“

“Our visit to the Smith Story tasting room was fantastic. We tried a lot of great wines. Ali and Eric are great hosts. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We also got our photo with Lord Sandwich! We routinely ship their wines to our home. Can't say which we like best but their sparkling wine is outstanding.“

“Incredible views, fantastic rose' and phenomenal service. What more can you ask for? After being rudely chased away from Robert Young winery, we made our way to Hanna, a gorgeous and welcoming winery. We enjoyed a bottle of rose', a charcuterie board and a stunning view. We simply couldn't have chosen better ❤️“

“In my humble opinion, Breathless is more than a tasty champagne. It's an experience.
Make sure you stop in to the tasting room for a unique time. I doubt you'll regret it. I never do.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen of Breathless, for always going above & beyond.“

“The Wine Road is where it's at. Having run 3 different tourist friendly businesses in Sonoma County for the last 20 years, I depend on the hard work of the Wine Road. The amount of traffic that Beth and her team have driven towards my businesses is stellar.“

“This was our first visit to Portalupi Winery, and it was truly a remarkable experience. Our host, Aaron, guided us through a delightful food and wine pairing that was absolutely divine. The food was fantastic, and the wine was exceptional. However, it was Aaron who truly elevated the experience. His knowledge, expertise, and vibrant personality made our afternoon unforgettable. If you're seeking a fun-filled day with exquisite Italian wine, Portalupi Winery is definitely the destination for you!“

“We rented some bikes and cycled here for some wine tasting. It was surreal. Pulled up on a hot sunny day, we were seated under. 100+ old Olive tree. To our delight they had a musician playing an acoustic guitar and singing in a lavender garden. The atmosphere, the service, the knowledge of wine, and let’s not forget the wine itself! What a wonderful day and definitely a memory to last a lifetime.“

“Lovely place! Great tasting menu and service. The wine is stellar! Simply amazing.

If you like Pinot (and Vermentino) then this is the place for you. The setting is beautiful and since it’s a smaller venue, it feels very private and peaceful.

Highly recommended!“

“Fun time. Awesome grounds too.“

“Was absolutely delighted with the hospitality and conversation from Mark during our visit. He made us feel right at home and created a memorable experience that stood out from the countless tastings at other wineries. We will absolutely be recommending Soda Rock to friends and will be returning in the future.“

“First class wines! Very knowledgeable staff! Beautiful views!“

“A Hidden Gem: Aperture Cellar!

Visiting Aperture Cellar was an absolute delight! Nestled in beautiful wine country, this cellar offers stunning vineyard views and a modern, inviting tasting room.

The staff were outstanding – knowledgeable, welcoming, and passionate about their wines. Each pour was an adventure, especially the Red Blend, which stood out with its perfect balance and depth.

Aperture Cellar’s dedication to quality and innovation is truly impressive. It’s a place where exceptional wine meets wonderful hospitality. We can’t wait to return! ??“

“We did a mountain tour with Drea this week and had a fantastic time! She was so knowledgeable about the wine and The Jackson Family Wineries as a whole. You will not be disappointed by the views when getting to the top!!!! The coolest “tasting room” with a 360° view :) An experience none of us will ever forget!“

“It was a rainy January when we came, so the outdoor seating was not open. Before walking into the lobby, a lady who was waiting outside was very, very nice and made us feel good. The overall interior design is modern, simple and not exaggerated. The wine and cheese are pretty good, and they have a special sparkling series.“

“Our host was Joseph and he was perfect. We appreciated his knowledge about each wine, its pairing with food and his ability to teach us about the vineyards and the history of the winery. We were also fortunate to meet one of the Owners and learn more about each wine. We were seated on the deck and could enjoy the ambiance of being so close to the vineyard.“

“We found ourselves at this small, but beautiful winery because it was one of the free tasting options our hotel offered.The wines were lovely and exactly the experience you want.We were visiting Healdsburg end of December which is perfect for less crowded, intimate experience. We had the place to ourselves and could take our time. We did get a cheese board, but forgot to take a picture.Which is unfortunate because the cheeses are all from local artisan farmers. Highly recommend the cheese, the wine and the tasting.“

“Ok if the wines are extraordinary, Rob is even more! Charismatic and so easy to understand through his presentation. Came here with our son and daughter in law as their first visit to Sonoma and they loved it! The Pinots are amazing and the Chardonnay is outstanding ?. Hope you visit them!“

“Cannot say enough about the personal passion that Erik and Randy have in their wines! We visited other wineries but found Kokomo to be the true highlight of our week in Sonoma! Do yourself a favor and visit and taste their wines, you won't be disappointed!!!!“

“Came on a birthday trip to do wine & chili pairing. Beautiful location, great service. Never had we had a tasting where you get to sample multiple bottles over 100 dollars each. This is not common when you are not a member, and even then it will typically cost you. We fell in love and ended up joining their wine club. Can't wait to come back.“

“We booked a private tour of Bell Mountain Ranch and ended up spending three hours touring and tasting at this incredible property. We learned so much about Medlock Ames' organic farming practices and winemaking in general thanks to the welcoming and knowledgeable staff.

The only thing better than the views at Bell Mountain are the wines themselves. We can't wait to return.“

“Popped in for an unscheduled wine tasting on a weekday stay recommendation from our hotel. The tasting was informative (learned about the genetic similitude of Primitivo and Zinfandel) and scored tastings of the harvest festival award winners. So glad we stopped in. Nice ambience and friendly host/hostess interactions.“

“Great Wine! The Pinot Noir is wonderful and this Year the Chardonnay is out of sight!“

“My husband and I hosted a stunning rehearsal dinner at Orsi. Mark and his team were extremely accommodating and made all our wedding dreams come true! The venue was spectacular, and our guests were able to check out the vines & wine production area. Mark was so delightful to work with and helped manage our various vendor & catering deliveries before and after the event. Not to mention, Orsi's wine is out of this world. Do yourself a favor and order a case of the Sauv Blanc immediately :)“

“My first visit at DaVero Farms & Winery was so fabulous I came back and was wowed once again. The expansive grounds are gorgeous. And I appreciate that their wines are biodynamic.
Be sure to sample their olive oils- superb!
A nice variety of wines available and several beautiful spots to enjoy your wine. Service is quite good as well“

“Such a relaxing environment and amazing wines“

“I'm Naveen Saini from India.... love to see Saini vineyards in the United States. We are also a farmer and also have a garden as we are from the Saini community we're so close to nature. ☘️☘️☘️????? lot's of Love from Jaipur, India “

“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!“

“Leo was an outstanding host for our walk-in experience at TGE. He's a true sommelier that clearly loves his craft and the time he spent with my daughter, introducing her to the dinner points of wine tasting and technique was very much appreciated. Looking forward to a return visit during Harvest Fest.“

“A lovely family owned winery with excellent wines.“

“My husband and I had the top notch wine tasting and estate tour experience at the Jordan Winery. It simply could not have been better! It was a great pleasure to be hosted by Michael who guided us through the interesting journey at the winery and gladly answered all the questions we had. Special thanks to the chef, the chilled corn soup with a caviar was a culinary masterpiece. Also, the winery owner John Jordan came to greet us before our dining which made me feel like I was rather a special guest than just another tourist coming to purchase some wine. We will definitely be returning to enjoy the great wine and hospitality. Overall, it's a lovely establishment with wonderful people. Many thanks to all of them!“

“One of the best wineries in Sonoma so far. Delicate complex wines the best we’ve had in Dry creek. The tasting experience is also fabulous here it’s like a private tasting with top class service, finished off with the most beautiful views of the valley and a lovely tasting deck outdoors. They discourage food and pets but are so accommodating if needed. 5 stars for wine service and beautiful tasting rooms“

“So glad we popped in here! We are visiting from Denver and had been to Blanchard in Denver and thought we ought to pop in here. (They have two places, one in Denver and one here in Sonoma). We did not have a reservation beforehand but the proprietor (Mark Blanchard) welcomed us warmly and had the table set for us quickly. By the way, you don’t stand at a bar here—you are welcomed to have a seat around a table to taste and enjoy the wine. He served wine liberally and spent a good amount of time chatting with us and he was a warm, fun and friendly host.

The wine was genuinely delicious across the board, and the “wine culture” component here was straight up down to earth and friendly. No snobby attitude at all. He taught us a lot about their process and it was so cool to visit such a small, family owned operation. As a military veteran I also appreciate that one of the two Blanchard Brothers is a fellow US Air Force Academy graduate/military veteran!

If you want to get fantastic wine, have a nice visit with a small, family owned winery, and support a military veteran business—come and visit!!

Mark, thank you for giving us a great time!!“

“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 was stop 4 on our wine tour with Wine Country Journeys (amazing BTW) - it was a cute little place, friendly and laid back. I really liked the chardonnay and I don't normally like those :) Also the olive oil was amazing - they are an organic winery which is really hard to get for the wine and olive oil. Their olive oil is how olive oil is supposed to taste. I bought a couple bottles but wish I had bought more as they would make really good gifts.“

“One sip and you are hooked! What else can you say! Love love love“

“In short: Great wine and great place. The highest level. Verité Sonoma impressed me greatly with its winemaking philosophy and quality of products. Located in scenic Sonoma, California, this premium winery has been creating outstanding Bordeaux-style wines since 1998 using traditional French winemaking techniques and unique California terroir. Verité wines such as La Muse, La Joie and Le Désir have deservedly received high critical acclaim for their exceptional quality and elegance. Their attention to detail, innovative approach and passion for the art of winemaking have made Verité a true symbol of winemaking excellence.
I would especially like to mention Carrie Brock and her love of wine. Thanks a lot!“

“We just left a wine tasting at The Drink and had the best experience with Lucy!! She was such a lovely person and very knowledgeable about both the wines in our flight and the area overall. As first time visitors, it was a great experience for us!! Thank you, Lucy and Leo Steen Wines!“

“Really great wines! Each wine is such a thoughtful & unique expression of the vineyard it represents. Congratulations on critical acclaim!“

“First time wine ? tasting at a venue like this. Wow incredible experience and awesome customer service what a wonderful experience. We will certainly be back soon.
Shout out to Shane and Paul at Wilson Winery for the award winning customer service“

“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!“

“Beautiful company and excellent Sonoma wines.
Many thanks for everything to Erik, his family and his staff for welcoming us warmly and telling us about their wines, undoubtedly among the best we have tasted in the area.
Next time in California we will return to taste the new vintages!“

“Thank you for the amazing experience and your flexibility. We enjoyed your beautiful property and the delicious wine. We will for sure be back.“

“I thought this winery was totally awesome, Tony was very knowledgeable and helpful. The tastings and the food pairings were great. He went above and beyond what we expected, highly recommend.“
