They serve tasty cheese and meat combinations while describing their amazing wines, blends and pairings. We have enjoyed a few of the food pairing experiences in the other tasting room nearby and they're worth the price. It ends up as a small meal, a real nice food experience! Yes, we are members and drive up to pick up our wine orders. They also stock the cheeses and food served and wine accessories as well. We travel over an hour from the bay area on a good day so it must be worth it!

If you are in Healdsburg this is my number one recommendation for wine tasting. They expertly pair the wine with dishes they make fresh on site. They even have the spices available for purchase that they use in the recipes. The staff here is always so pleasant and knowledgeable. I can't say enough good things about this place.

She doesn't typically go into any bed and plopped right in to nap, always a good sign. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The focus is Pinot and Chard and there is a lovely bubble too across two flights. Highly recommended trying one of each flight in your group to find your faves across both. They don't offer a wine club discount as you see that if you get your wine shipped. They have events throughout the year including in the summer with the music in the plaza series, members can reserve a seat from them and take a bottle or glass to enjoy the vibes.

This time we drove an extra hour just so we could bring friends who had never been before. We love all their wines and they always take great care of us at the tasting room. The tasting room has a really cool vibe and I love sitting on the couches under the giant chandelier. I highly recommend adding the charcuterie board to your tasting experience, it's beautiful and tastes amazing. Also make sure you don't leave without a candle, they are my absolute favorite and they smell amazing!

You can chose to do wine tasting inside or outside by the trees, which is always the option if it isn't too hot out. I love their reds. Their reds are in the deeper side, the more bold, the more, dry, side. If this is your jam, I highly recommend you try this place out. I person that helped us out (I forgot his name, sorry!) was also very knowledgeable and helpful. He was also pretty funny so we all had a good time. Thanks again!

We finally came back to give them a try. We came like maybe 6-7 years ago, without a reservations…read moreand they weren't really accommodating or nice to us. Basically told us to get the hell out of there without a reservations even though there were only 2 couples at half past opening and the guy said he's going to have a busy day, with an attitude. So we hated this place for so long. Our aunt also had a bad experience here too, at that time people here were mean. Geez. So we avoided for a long time. Fast forward, just checking around wineries and saw Seghesio again since our favorite Zin winery (Stephen & Walker) went out of business. I checked their website and wow, they accept walk ins now! Although we could have made a reservation, we decided to go without one to see what the new experience was like. We came in a Friday afternoon and were super cautious. We came, nobody was there. The front greeted us and explained the tasting. You can't do split so my MIL wanted the Italian varietal tasting, which we wanted the Zin but she was adamant. Bummer bc they are known for their Zins! We went with the Italian. Sat outside. Beautiful grounds! Have huge play area for dogs and kids, cornhole, bacchi ball, and beautiful lawn. Lots of trees and shade and it was very peaceful. Our server was super nice and attentive. He also provided a small nut snack and generous pours. We stated that we were going to buy many bottles and really into Zins so he let us taste a couple. We loved it so much we bought a whole case! We got the Italian varietals and the 2 Zins that we were able to taste. Due to the new positive experience, we would come back and try their Zin tasting and possibly look into membership.

Mark is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate in what he does. You do have to make a reservation ahead of time though for tastings. But it's definitely worth it! That one-on-one attention and interaction is priceless. The barrel room in the back was so cool. I love all the cute chalk drawings on the barrels. Mark walked us through the process of wine making and we even got the chance to try some from the barrel! Mark's co-owner, his brother James, lives in Denver-just a short drive from Colorado Springs, where I live! Honestly, I don't remember which wines I liked best because I liked all of them. But we ended up getting a bottle and have been saving it for a special occasion until we get the chance to go back. Definitely looking forward to returning soon!

Mark greeted us by the door of the tasting room/production facility which is just off the square. He spent time walking through the winery's history and how he and is brother run the business. By the end of the tasting we had talked about wine, food, music, documentaries, and much more. Mark made it feel like we were all siting around the kitchen table just talking about wine and life. I liked this setting (one group at a time with 100% participation) much more enjoyable than most other wineries we visited which have more of a bar/restaurant feeling where the server would just pour your tasting, give you the one sentence blurb they learned about it and then disappearing to help other tables for 10-15 minutes until it was time for your next pour. We started the tasting with their "White Wine" and Viognier. We then moved on to the reds including Pinot, Zin, Merlot, Malbec and Cab. They were all very well made and quite tasty. Ended up purchasing 3 bottles to go and a membership to be shipped later in the year. I'd definitely recommend others putting Blanchard on their list of places to visit in Healdsburg. Appointments are needed as Mark only does one group's tasting at a time.

My friend booked us a reservation here for my birthday! Coming from the Napa valley, we had never…read morebeen to Healdsburg before and we loved this quaint little town with so many local shops. The winery fit right in and we loved the small location with the view of the vineyards. We booked a reservation for the Root 101 Wine & Food Pairing Experience. I've had cheese and cracker experiences in wine tasting before, but this experience was a stand out with their perfectly curated arrangements of small bites that paired so well with the wines we were presented. Having the food pairing with the wines really felt like it brought out an elevated level of wine tasting because most wine is enjoyed with food when you take it home. The team really worked hard to make sure this tasting was unique and we found each bite to hold its own experience. I've been to Walt Wines in Napa but this location was worth the drive and the experience! Peter hosted us and was very knowledgeable about the wines and the food - having a passion for both. We were very grateful to be paired with Peter for our tasting, he made it a great experience! I would highly recommend taking advantage of the food pairing experience as it helps the wines stand out and just offers something different to a typical wine tasting.

Very sleek tasting room with minimal indoor seating and huge glass windows looking out at the vineyards. Lots of outdoor patio/vineyard seating which is where you want to be. Take in being wine country the right way. Choose a flight, sit back, and enjoy the wine + education. Brandon did such a great job with time management, good information- touching on key points and facts that i was able to remember. Although it was a good experience, Baca isn't my favorite wine out of the portfolio.
