50 Best Wineries in Healdsburg

“A very lovely vineyard, especially if you enjoy sparkling wines. No pressure service, plenty of information and answered all our questions. Our teenagers were able to hang out while we enjoyed a flight and a glass of wine. Beautiful setting to enjoy the vineyard. Loved it!“

“Wonderful atmosphere, gorgeous scenery, and Drea was so knowledgeable.“

“Visited Thomas George Estates recently and had a wonderful time exploring the location in the Russian River Valley. The atmosphere was relaxing and inviting with kind attentive guides walking through the tasting room experience. It is one of the best local spots to visit if you are in the area since it feels so community oriented. The regional setting made for a peaceful outing without feeling rushed or commercial. Will definitely return.“

“We had a fantastic tasting with Josef today. The Chardonnay, Pinots, and Zinfandels were all SO enjoyable and the setting couldn’t be more perfect. The view, service, wine, and charcuterie all made for an unforgettable experience… thank you!!! p.s. Josef, we checked out Jason & the Scorchers— those guys rock!“

“We had an amazing experience. The home is beautifully furnished and each bedroom has its own charm. We attended a wine tasting with Andy who was knowledgeable about the area as well as the delicious zinfandels made at the winery. It was truly memorable. It felt like living there would be most enjoyable. I would definitely go back.“

“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.“

“Sean was delightful and educational during our wine tasting. The wines are superb, we loved learning about the terroir from which they are grown, and the different personalities that each winemaker brings to the table. Absolutely worth a visit when in Healdsburg“

“Such a beautiful winery I do wine tours and have visited many times and clients love Bella“

“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!“

“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!“

“amazing wines, the owners are super personable and helpful, the charcuterie and the sangria were delicious!🍷🥂 5 star by far⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“We always love our visits to Soda Rock, and today's visit did not disappoint. The wines were all amazing, and Kyle, the tasting room attendant, was so personable and knowledgeable. It was an enjoyable experience. Cheers to Soda Rock!❤️🍷“

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

“Such a relaxing environment and amazing wines“

“We visited Williamson Wines for their afternoon Happy Hour and had a wonderful time! For $15 you get a glass of wine, truffle popcorn, house-made BBQ chips and a choice of a shrimp appetizer or slider. My wife and I both chose the shrimp and it was excellent, particularly the very strong cocktail sauce! George took great care of us and made excellent wine recommendations. After telling him what I generally drink and enjoy, he poured me a glass of the Entice blend and it was amazing! I would highly recommend visiting Williamson for one of their many tastings or events!“

“Flanagan is one of our favorite wineries - anywhere. And Tara is the most amazing, warm, friendly, personable, and authentic host you can ask for. She takes care of us every time we’re there, and our friends even when we’re not. The setting is beautiful and peaceful, and the wine is extraordinary. They should not be able to make such different varietals and styles - Pinots, Chardonnays, Syrahs, Cabs, and more - so well, but they do. Each one is an impeccable expression of that particular varietal but with their signature profile ever present: clean, elegant, and with a stunning depth of flavor. Flanagan is an underrated gem in Sonoma but it shouldn’t be. It’s a Tier 1 production.“

“Wonderful winery in Sonoma“

“We truly enjoyed our tasting experience at Aperture. The facilities and setting are unique and are designed with purpose to reflect the owners experiences. The wines were fantastic. Bonus, when we got home to Tampa we discovered that Jacksons Bistro had Aperture wines on their wine list. Needless to say, well, Jacksons need to order more from Aperture!“

“Definitely come here for some lovely laidback tasting! Outdoor and indoor seating options, with AMAZING barberas and zinfandels!

Jan was awesome and gave us perfect recommendations 🎉 so good we had to take a couple of bottles to go!

The charcuterie was *chefs kiss* definitely grab that for the table.

According to my aunt, don’t skip smelling the candles 🕯️“

“Had a wonderful tour and tasting with Kat. Loved the history, philosophy of the winery/vineyard and current wine making practices. The food and wine pairings were spot on. Our entire grow up (6 in all) lives EVERY wine we were served which usually doesn’t happen. It was all so well balanced and smooth and just extraordinarily made. Truly a treasured find.“

“Still thinking about this spot since visiting last week! Brought some family in town after trying one of their delicious wines at a nearby restaurant. We enjoyed the beautiful wines, the cozy fun tasting room, the lovely doggo Soup and Eric led us through a tasting. We genuinely loved getting to know about him & his wife’s story and their love for wine and their brand. Joined the wine club and I am already looking forward to my next visit. If you’re visiting Healdsburg and want a personal experience this is the place people!!“

“I wish we had more time here! Stopped by quickly, by request of my dad on the way by, but so calm, quaint, down to earth, beautiful!!“

“Beautiful scenery, great wines & the staff are amazing with great service and knowledge! Really had a fabulous time there!🍷“

“The tasting room is housed in a lovely, broad building with walls of glass and attractive architecture. There is a raised back patio, but I was glad to see that tastings were held on the front lawn and garden this hot Saturday afternoon. It offers shadier spots, and I chose one along the path that felt like my own cozy corner among the plants and butterflies.

It was still hot under the umbrella! But the tasting room staff kept my water carafe filled.

A few wines stood out among this tasting of five, with two bonus wines offered by the staff: Mazzocco Stuhlmuller Chardonnay Reserve 2022 and Mazzocco Seaton Zinfandel Reserve 2022.“

“We had a great experience and highly recommend a visit! Our host/guide, Season, was terrific! She was very knowledgeable, approachable and engaging! We left with a new appreciation for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines! The beautiful setting, combined with the warm hospitality, made for a relaxing and enjoyable afternoon of wine tasting! We'd return when we visit Sonoma again!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fun time. Awesome grounds too.“

“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.“

“Excellent tasting with our hosts Delores and Tony, two of the best in the hospitality business! Orsi produces food-friendly, well balance wines with good aging potential. If you're looking for a rare Italian varietal that is unique to Orsi, you must try their Biancolella. In addition, loving their Nebbiolo and Montepulciano just to name a few. Beautiful grounds, family-owned, and exceptional service. Cin Cin!“

“Absolutely AMAZING tasting up at Bell Mountain with Eric. The setting and service were unparalleled. We were the only ones there and the beauty of the vineyard, oaks, lake and gardens was stunning - only matched by Eric's fantastic and fun interaction with us! Love their wines - highly recommend!“

“Such an amazing experience! We had the best time at Gary Farrell. The winery is absolutely beautiful with gorgeous views, and everything just felt so relaxed and welcoming.

Michael was our host, and he was fantastic! You could tell how passionate he is about the wines, and he shared so much information without it ever feeling like a lecture. We all learned a ton, asked lots of questions, and he made the whole tasting fun and interactive.

One of my favorite little touches was that they had blankets out for guests. We had an earlier tasting, and it was a little chilly, so having those waiting for us was perfect. It’s such a small thing, but it really shows they think about the guest experience.

The wines were incredible, the charcuterie paired perfectly, and our whole group left saying how much we loved it. If you’re in Sonoma and looking for a winery with amazing wine, beautiful scenery, and genuinely wonderful people, definitely put Gary Farrell on your list. We’ll absolutely be back!“

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

“In Healdsburg for the weekend and so thankful we stopped at Kokomo for a tasting. To begin, tasting was delicious (we aren’t huge white wine drinkers but were shocked by how much we enjoyed the Chardonnay…we left with a bottle of Chardonnay as well as a Cab, and were impressed with the quality of everything we tried). But also the Kokomo team was incredibly friendly, authentic, and attentive, and made our experience feel one of a kind - sitting outside on the patio we brought sandwiches and ate while enjoying the tasting - so uniquely casual and inviting. It was my wife’s birthday and we were even greeted with birthday wishes and a special table setting. A perfect blend of top quality wines with a relaxed setting - a highlight of our trip and highly recommend. Hope to return soon!“

“This was the highlight of our recent trip to the area. We were celebrating my birthday and they personalized our menu with a Happy Birthday message. We sprang for the Bubble Room tasting with add-on caviar. Our two servers Enrique and Cory were very pleasant! The food was To. Die. For. and the wine was expertly paired, and generously poured. The atmosphere was wonderful. We live very far away, but I am already dreaming of coming back!“

“Friendly and professional staff. Enjoyed the small plate from the menu with the tasting.“

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

“Thank you to Hafner Vineyards for such a wonderful and memorable tour. After being members since 2005, it was especially meaningful to finally experience the wines right at the source—the setting, the history, and the craftsmanship all exceeded expectations. What made the day truly special, though, was sharing it with great friends and creating new memories together.

A special thank you to Kate and Sarah for bringing the experience to life with such warmth, knowledge, and hospitality. You made the day feel personal, effortless, and unforgettable—exactly what makes places like Hafner so special.

Warmest regards and looking forward to our return !!!“

“They had 21 Pinot Noirs and one Chardonnay which was their first endeavor with that grape. They hit a home run with it. I was even able to get a chilled bottle, just what I was looking for on a hot day. The Pinots were all good, some very dry, some not so much but not jammy.“

“Beautiful day to enjoy great wine.“

“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!“

“Gotta tell ya…best Chardonnay I’ve ever tasted! Sean was such a kind host and shared his knowledge with our group in terms we could really understand. Learning about this family owned and operated winery makes selling and serving these wines in our restaurants really special. Our Place Cafe and Cafe de Fleur in central Alabama will soon feature these beautiful wines…and our bottle shop, Grove Station, will highlight them over and over again as a top pick in our Chardonnay section! Thank you, Ramey Team, for hosting us! Come see us in Alabama…we’d love to return the favor!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“This was the first winery my friends and I stopped at on a trip to California. While not a traditional winery in the sense of the vineyards being right next to you outdoors, it doesn't take away from the experience! I came in thinking full well that I don't really care for white wine, and the first one they poured for our tasting was absolutely fantastic! The tasting experience was fun and relaxing in addition to the wines themselves being extremely tasteful. It was so good we stopped by a second time on our way out for more. Arguably, it was my favorite winery in terms of taste. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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. ♥️“

“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!“
