Came on a Sunday morning (10 am) for a sparkling wine tasting. We sat outside and it was beautiful. Jordan was our host and was kind. They had the Wine Road event so it got busy after about an hour. We got to watch a saber which was neat. Wines tasted good. They also had non alcoholic drinks which my sister in law had, which is a nice touch. More wineries should do this. Overall we enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back. read more

What an enjoyable wine experience! We lingered on the patio at Cast, looking out over the vineyards, tasting 5 delicious wines and a generous charcuterie board. Jordan was very charming and shared insights about wine history (I had no idea that California Zinfandel came from Italian primitiva grafts exported from Austria!). What a relaxing and fun wine tasting! read more

My dear friend honored my birthday by taking us to Cast as they feature sparkling wines. It was a rainy, cold day. While the heat was on in the tasting room, the doors were wide open; the barrel room was frigid, so we opted for the tasting room and asked to close the doors, the response was not warm and fuzzy. Joe offered us our first taste, which had a funky after taste; all of the sparkling wines did. Joe's service was perfunctory at best; Jordan supplied a courteous and friendly pour in contrast. We were disappointed in the wine and the service; our other experiences at both Peterson and Kokomo were stellar. There is much to choose from in the region; I would give Cast a pass. read more

Extremely lovely setting nestled in the valley facing vineyards. Beautiful grounds meticulously maintained. Excellent sparkling wines though pricey. Tasting is $70/person. Includes nice charcuterie board with some cheese and salami and other treats. Each wine was good with the final reserve being the best. Bottles are just under $100. Nice stop if you have the time and the means. read more

We had a really nice time wine tasting last weekend at CAST. I had never been but we were already planning to go to a winery next door so we thought we'd check it out. They have a gorgeous outdoor space with this gigantic palm tree which provides some needed shade. I like that they started the tasting with sparkling wine. It was really good! We liked pretty much all of the wines except for one. They had a really nice Sauvignon Blanc and a tasty Zin. We also really enjoyed the Pinot. They served some food pairings with the red wines which were delicious. The salami was so good that the owner's dog stole a piece from our table! The dog was a good boy though so we weren't upset. He deserved it. If you're in Healdsburg and looking for somewhere to try, I'd recommend CAST! read more

We are lucky and was able to make a reservation the morning of the day of the visit. We are local and decided to start expending our favorites so we picked a new place. We were greeded right away with sparkling wine. Our table outside was near the tasting room. They also have a area down near the parking lot that also looks nice. There is picnic tables also that you can bring in your own picnic. Nicely landscape so your not looking at the parking lot. Unfortunately I didn't get the gentlemans name that was helping us but he did a really good job. Our glass was never empty over a few minutes. My husband and I also got our own little pairing to go with the wines. Definitely added bonus to us. We left with 2 bottle of the Old Zin. read more

CAST Wines made our last-minute trip to wine country absolutely incredible! Visiting CAST Wines was by far our favorite experience, and of course, our favorite wine. What a hidden gem! We can't wait to pair our Old Vine Zinfandel with something delicious. The drive over to Dry Creek Valley, from Napa (near Oxbow Public Market), was beautiful, and overlooking the vineyard while we experienced the wine tasting was perfect. Although it was about an hour and a half, we highly recommend hopping in the car early in the morning and spending the day at CAST Wines. The staff was especially attentive, answering all of our questions, while also adding a sweet personalized touch to the menu. We are looking forward to our next visit and will be recommending CAST Wines to all of our friends and family - and to all of you on Yelp. Cheers! read more

I'm very surprised by all the positive reviews. Perhaps if you're a fan of Brettanomyces in wine? My husband and I tasted 6 wines and nothing tasted right. I honestly couldn't get that dry woody feeling off my tongue until the next day. It was really bad. We are guessing they probably have Brett in the winery because it was spanning multiple vintages and varietals from a 2016 Cab to a 2021 Chard. Aside from the wine being terrible, the tasting experience was awkward at best. I hate to leave a negative review but we so often rely on reviews when we plan our wine adventures so I just felt the need to warn people... hard pass on Cast Wines. read more

The nice gentlemen in downtown Healdsburg recommended this place - saying it was relatively new to the block with some interesting wines. The grounds are gorgeous with Adirondack chairs facing the view of the rolling hills. Tastings are $15 per person, waived if you purchase a minimum of 3 bottles of wine. I enjoyed their Blanc de Noirs (a sparkling wine) and their sauvignon blanc - so I picked up a few bottles of those. They bring you a complimentary snack plate (cheese, olives, nuts etc) which was a nice touch. Staff is friendly. Nice place to visit and to picnic, if you have guests in town, you won't be disappointed with stopping by here to relax and enjoy the view. But when I'm on my wine buying trips - probably not a location I need to stop off at again. read more

You're either going to pay $25/person to taste 5 wines or purchase at least $100 of wine/person to taste 5 wines. The wines were only so-so and certainly not worth the cost of the tasting. We chatted with the owner for a bit and it's clear that there is no great love of winemaking here. It only seems to be a financial endeavor. We were not impressed with the wines or the attitude here. It seems to be trying to be more like a pretentious Napa winery than a cozy Healdsburg one. read more

My husband and I just paid $54 for the most awkward tasting of our lives. I am not impressed with the personalities representing this tasting room. We were the only 2 people doing a tasting here, and yet, while the 2 employees weren't blatantly rude, they didn't make us feel welcome at all. I didn't even notice the taste of the wine, because I felt so uncomfortable here. I felt like I was back in high school, and the other kids were making fun of us behind our backs. The location is beautiful, and the grounds are well kept. They need to invest in more customer service training.

I don't normally drink wine but came for the olive oil and the experience and it did not disappoint! I also eventually changed my mind that red wine can be good:) We were seated indoors and Edd gave us the rundown of what we'd be tasting for the afternoon complete with stories and lots of fun facts. (I now look at any bottles that say "cold pressed" with some light skepticism since it's clearly only written there for marketing purposes!) We ordered a selection of the panini sandwiches, the burrata and butternut squash salad, and the charcuterie board. The fire cheese was delicious and the spread was perfect. Throughout lunch, Edd brought us different wines to taste and by the end we were most definitely sold on the Stone Soup (the red version). The olive oil tasting was so much fun. First of all the bread was so delicious. And then we tasted about 15 (?) different olive oils or vinegars. The raspberry, lemon, and garlic ones were clear favorites. My personal favorites were the garlic and sage. Even though it was a bit of a rainy & cloudy day, the views from the patio were beautiful. We finished our wine out by the fire pit outside, and now I really need to come back during the summertime when the skies are more clear for the full experience. I left with lots of olive oil and great Christmas gifts for the family. The four piece olive oil sets are perfect for that and I brought one home for my family and we did our own inspired mini taste testing (I still miss Trattore's bread tho). 10/10 recommend and yes I definitely want to come back for the summer views and this pizza oven I keep reading in all the other reviews:))

Rolling vineyards stretch out like green velvet, with immaculate landscaping, fountains, rose gardens--the sort of place you half‑expect a tuxedoed butler to walk you to your tasting table. * The architecture is elegant without being stuffy. Marble, wrought iron, white columns, and windows that let in golden light just so. Feels like you've stepped into a luxury retreat, but without all the pretentious "don't touch anything" signs. The Wine Experience * Tasting flights? Class act. They pour with confidence. Each wine tells its little story--bright citrus, hints of oak, berry whispering, a finish that lingers just long enough you start wondering if you should buy a case. * Knowledgeable staff who aren't snobby. They'll walk you through the differences between the Chardonnay and the Sauvignon, explain the barrel aging without talking over you, and even crack a joke or two about how wine pairs with late‑night pizza. Because, come on, late‑night pizza is life. The Fun Bits * Wandering the grounds is part of the charm: strolling labyrinths of vines, peeking into the wine cellar, chilling under olive trees, taking photos like you're pretending to be in a lifestyle magazine. * They've got nice spots to sit, sip 'n chat. Maybe even picnic (if they allow)--laying under the shade with a glass of something crisp and a cheese plate = pure contentment. * Bonus points if you catch golden hour there--sunset light turning everything warm and buttery, the vines glowing, your shadow long, your heart full. The One Tiny Caveat * For all its elegance, it can get popular and feel a little like a wedding venue at rush hour. If you want peace, go mid‑week or early morning. * Wine tasting isn't cheap here. But, dear god, is the ambiance and craftsmanship worth dipping into the wallet. Ferrari‑Carano isn't just a winery--it's what Instagram dreams are made of. It's class, nature, flavour, elegance, and fun. Would I go back? Absolutely. Would I bring someone that I want to impress? Double yes. Would I wear khaki pants and sip wine slowly, trying to sound like I know things about oak barrels and terroir? Maybe. Probably... Baby steps. So if you want to feel fancy for a day, drink wine that's basically poetry in a glass, and walk through vineyards pretending your name is "Baron Mikey de Grapevine"--go here.

May 6, 2025 - Cloverdale…read more This was our second visit to this winery, and it was just as lovely as our first visit. It's a family-owned winery, and very down to earth. Dog-friendly. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted by Tilley, a rescued Aussie Cattle Dog. I LOVE that they list her as one of the team members on their website. There is a large tasting room, and an outdoor covered patio on a terrace overlooking the vineyard with amazing views. Once we chose where we wanted to sit, our host, Christy, gave us a complementary taste of rose'. The tasting fee is $20 per person, waived with a two-bottle purchase. The tasting menu is mostly reds, but started with a Viognier. We were then offered the chance to try any white that they had open. Such a relaxing and, really, a perfect wine tasting experience. Christy is friendly and knowledgeable. And then Jim Rickards (owner) came over and talked to us for a while. He is very personable, and had some wonderful stories. We shared conversation with him for quite a while. We enjoyed all the wines. We bought the rose' and the merlot. Prices range from $30-$39 for the whites, and from $35-$63 for the reds.

Had the absolute best wine tasting here today! Not only are the wines very good but the views are…read morespectacular. Christine was a wonderful host and Jim was a plethora of information. I feel like we could have spent the entire day here. Be sure to check them out and say hello to the wine dog, Tilly!

Food: - (can't rate this, I don't drink) Service: 5/5…read more Ambiance: 5/5 Hands down one of the best tasting experience I've ever had. They gave pretty PHAT pours, and 8 glasses of wine. I don't drink so I can't rate the wine. My friends all said it was good. Vibes of this space are on POINT! I would love to go back in Aug/Sep, our wine connoisseur told us we are able to taste the grapes that the wines are made out of during that duration. The view of this space are amazing. I hope the room on the second floor that looks out to the vineyard. There is also an abundant amount of wildlife here. Turkeys, Rabbits, Birds.

Our favorite Winery in California…read more Simply the best place to visit if you are looking for a gem, One on One tours and tasting in the most spectacular place. Stunning grounds, that will amaze you, photographs so awesome and Wine to die for ! Home of Baby Blue Blend, the handshake to the public, Blue Rock offers so much more variety and is their own produce. Take the personal tasting session in the main lounge and eat the platter, relax and unwind, unfortunately you won't want to leave. Everyone flocks to Coppola nearby but misses this, and what a miss, the drive around the grounds has so many picture opportunities. Stunning. Wine is amazing, I'm sure you will agree, and clearly this company is growing big with distribution now in 24 states. We are Ambassador members and bought a case today on top of our membership. Can't get enough of this. Definitely recommended if you enjoy a personal experience. Brilliant.

A very interesting experience. Our server, "Duncan" was very entertaining and very knowledgable…read more The space is just lovely with fabulous artwork. Their wines are quite unique, especially their Riesling and their "orange" wine, Ribolla. Highly recommended. Reservations are recommended but not necessary but we would suggest you do that, especially in the summer.

Incredible! We stumbled upon this place on our girls getaway. This location is hidden in plain site…read morebecause it' is on the Main Street but from the outside it almost looks like a gallery. The place is beautifully decorated, every single part of the decor is well thought out and you can basically have a photo shoot anywhere! The main reason to visit though is obviously the wines. They have an amazing selection of whites, rose and others that are less common in this area. Duncan is extremely knowledgeable and super personable. He goes above and beyond for his guests and made it a fun and memorable experience. He is the absolute best!. We will be coming back for sure. I already need a refill of the rose!

The best winery! Make sure to come here to try unique zinfandels . You can tell this little oasis…read moreis going to be good from the moment you step into the tasting room. It's so nice to have a personal tasting experience with the actual owner himself. Each bottle has its own story. The tastes are different, but all are amazing!! Would 10/10 recommend coming here again. Also if you purchase a bottle of wine the tasting is *free* which is lovely compared to similar tastings for $50.

Nice quiet stop along Dry Creek Road where we were greeted by the owner and winemaker…read more Michael Talty is a wealth of knowledge and is more than willing to share it. I learned what a field blend is. We both enjoyed the wines and bought a fair amount. I think they will benefit from a few years of aging. As others have mentioned, if you need a break from some of the more commercial, busier tasting rooms, this is a nice stop.
