My husband and I have been regulars at countless Napa/Sonoma wineries for nearly 30 years now. In all these years, two have been above and beyond in all aspects, and Gracianna is one of them. It's 200% a hidden gem. Gracianna is not a huge commercial winery nor is it a massive producer. It's unforgettably quaint, intimate, and personalized. We stayed at their adorable Airbnb for a few days. The space was super clean, welcoming, and stocked with all the basics. The views are amazing. The wines were all top level, super approachable, and we loved every pour; our faves were the Zins and Pinots. The service is what really sets this experience apart... Trini was incredibly responsive. We were beyond lucky to have Lafayette as our server. He made the wine tasting feel like a chill, relaxing get-together. Not only is he knowledgeable, but also relatable and warm/inviting. We never felt rushed (actually overstayed our tasting bc time flew) and got a lot of amazing recommendations. Photos don't do this place justice: You just have to come and see for yourself. read more

We loved each wine in the tasting flight, but especially the rosé and Chardonnay! We got to sit outside on the shaded patio with our dogs, 10/10 recommend! read more

My fiancé and I were referred to this winery from another winery 5 miles up the road. And thank god they did! We had an amazing experience here, it felt incredibly personal, the wine was phenomenal and the family owned vibe was really special- alongside their two main guys. We were big fans of their pinot and zin. But would seriously recommend them to anyone. We can't wait to come back and visit, they also have an Airbnb you can stay in for complimentary tastings. Definitely on our to do list! Thank you guys again for making my birthday so fantastic! read more

Charming Boutique Winery! GRACIEANNA is a hidden gem near Forestville with a beautiful area to enjoy a tasting right next to the vineyard. The Chardonnay was fantastic, and their reds were just as impressive. Fernando, a hospitality director, took extra time to walk us through some of the vineyard's workings--super informative and appreciated. Entire team was very attentive. Beautiful setting, great wines, and warm hospitality. Highly recommend! read more

Great walk-in experience with our dogs on their patio next to the vineyard. The staff, especially tasting room manager Roberto, was very welcoming & knowledgeable. Roberto went above and beyond to understand us as customers, which is rare with even the best service. Oh, and the wines are wonderful - not to be missed! While many of their grapes are sourced from outside the Russian River AVA, their estate pinot is excellent. read more

Gracianna Winery - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Healdsburg, California

I've been to Gracianna several times in the past as It's a favorite destination of both my wife and car club. Everytime I stop by I always get at least 1 bottle of Pinot Noir and their Zin. They even have a Malbec now. They probably have one of the best Pinot's IMO. The owners Trini and Lisa are very nice and have always been more than accommodating to us. They've gone well out of their way to open up their winery to our car club so that we can have event's/car shows at their location. Speaking of, their estate is amazing. Gorgeous views with open spaces to sit and enjoy their wines and the view. Try the Mercedes block Pinot, trust me... read more

Where to start. After cycling by this stunning home and tasting room situated on picturesque west side road for several years, I finally decided to stop by to do a tasting. From the moment we set foot into the winery we felt as if we were part of the family. Trini and lisa, the owners, are so warm and welcoming as are Fernando and Lafi, two of the long time managers. There is a deeper story behind the winery and name (Trini's grandmother) which you need to hear directly from Trini, a charismatic and gifted story teller. And the wine, oh yes the wine! Some of the best Pinots I've ever had and a Chardonnay made for non Chardonnay fans like me. Fear not if you're not a pinot or chard lover, they have several other varietals as well. Fun fact - Trini's son is the wine maker who started making wine as a teen in their garage! I could go on and on about how wonderful every aspect is of this winery but you should just go experience it for yourself. You won't be disappointed. I suspect you'll become wine club members for life read more

Soo friendly! They welcomed us and our dog with warm, open arms. The owner gave us a special tour of his custom home with stories behind each magnificent piece of art. Wine was great! We did the premium tastings and took a few bottles home which waived one of the tastings. Their zins were amazing! read more

My favorite winery to visit because it's by far the most personal experience. I used to live in SF and went quite often, in fact when they were building the tasting room 15 years ago or so I was a regular and joined the wine club. Each time I would bring new people there they'd blown away by the experience. It's basically the polar opposite of some of the more commercial wineries, and most people don't know places like this exist. It's a winery with a soul. And a beautiful story with amazing owners and stakeholders. I moved away during Covid and went back recently. I'm happy to report it's still the same. I met one of the stakeholders, Fernando on this visit and he made us feel right at home like an old friend. The visit was the highlight of our trip and renewed my love for Gracianna. I plan on sending gifts of wine from there to introduce people to this hidden gem as between the quality of the wine, the small batched and feeling of being in the know, and the amazing people its really easy to become a huge fan of this place! read more

"Gracianna is for those with something to be grateful for." Gracianna. Grace. Graciousness. Gratitude. I am grateful for this beautiful, family-owned and operated estate in Russian River Valley's Miracle Mile on Westside Road. They make delicious Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. We are also thankful for friends who are members and took us there/introduced us to these luscious wines. It was a cold, damp day last weekend during the atmospheric river but the hospitality was warm and welcoming and we enjoyed all of the wines. The small intimate tasting room is open-air. I was concerned about the rain but we were covered and comfortable. They also have seating outside overlooking the vineyards; this will be an awesome option on a non-rainy day. The rain didn't stop us from exploring the vineyards which were shades of yellow, orange, and red. So pretty! Each club member gets a custom plaque which is displayed among the vines. The winery is named after the Amador family's grandmother, Gracianna. And yes, if you were wondering, the Amador name is related to Amador County! Ask them for the story! Our favorite wine of the day was the 2017 Pinot Noir! And we purchased a few bottles for home. We look forward to returning again soon! read more

Awesome winery - we enjoyed great wine and the employees that stopped by and said hello as we sat and tasted their wine and enjoyed our time at their winery. Trini, Hannah and Fernando you're rock stars. You made us feel like family and invited us to enjoy walking in the vineyard and even giving Chica some extra love as well. A wonderful vineyard don't miss the opportunity to enjoy their wine and hospitality. read more

Okay wine. Service people and owners are awesome. Nothing special. Not sure we will go back. Williamson winery is way better.

The pocket winery is charming in every which way. The hospitality stole the show but the wine was not far behind. We were especially impressed by the Sauvignon Blanc, which was a surprise. There are far worse ways to spend an afternoon than among the vines in the care of Fernando and Gracianna. read more

We loved this winery and it was not on our list. We were touring wineries on Easter Sunday so some of the wineries were not open. Our driver (Wine Tours by Santa) recommended this winery and said it would be a great place for a picnic lunch. He was right on all accounts. This is a small, beautiful. family owned winery. We really enjoyed the Zinfandel and others we tasted. Lafayette (Lafi) was wonderful with the tasting and telling the story of the winery. This stands out as one of our favorite winery experiences from our trip! read more

I have two nieces who are having little girls and I ordered two bottles of Resistance Pinot Noir, two Graicanna onsies and two books written by Trini Amador to send to my nieces in Texas. Lafayette was kind enough to have the books autographed by Trini for each of my nieces. I have also ordered wines for myself and they are wonderful!!! read more

For an awesome wine tasting experience and delicious pinots and zin, come check out this winery. It was luck that we were able to have a tasting at this amazing estate! We had an awesome tour of their beautiful estate while sipping thier yummy wines. Friendly and very hospitable owners, Lisa and Trini who opened their home for this experience. Had an amazing experience and left being new medallion club wine members. Thank you for the knowledge shared about this estate and your winery. We will visit again! read more

We absolutely love Gracianna! We have been coming here for years and they treat us like family. Their wine...oh my gosh, can I give them a 10 star review? We've not found a wine we don't like. They pair well with everything and we can either drink them now or hold on to them to age. Their wine maker is phenomenal and has a super approachable philosophy regarding the wines. We absolutely love Gracianna and can not recommend the enough! read more

Gracianna Winery - Picture of vineyard at Gracianna! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Healdsburg, California

We went to the winery on Memorial Day and were surprised to see that the place was relatively empty. We had a group of five and sat outside under the umbrella, overlooking the vineyard. We sampled all of their award winning wines and every type of wine we sampled was magnificent. We especially enjoyed the Gracianna Resilience Pinot Noir. It had a delightful bouquet and full bodied taste. Trini and Lisa, the owners, joined us and we chatted for quite a while. They are just lovely, down to earth, and welcoming people. It was a pleasure spending the afternoon talking with both of them. We highly recommend this winery if you are in the area. You won't be disappointed. read more

Stopped in while driving by without a reservation. It wasn't too busy so we were offered a table outside. Me (designated driver), two tasters and two teenagers. Lafayette poured for us and he was fantastic. Great descriptions of the wines and interesting stories he shared. He made for a really memorable experience. The tasters enjoyed the wine! read more

Our group of 10 visited the Gracianna Winery on 9/22/23. We enjoyed the property, the wine, and the family's history in the wine business. The tour was nice and this winery offers a non-commercial, quaint vibe. While we felt the house tour was a little too much and would have preferred to stay outdoors and enjoyed the land, we all agreed that visiting Gracianna Winery was a fun and their wines were good. read more

An Absolute Pleasure! Went today and it is a small, modest but friendly and managed by real people for real people. We enjoyed a small sampling of their Rose, Zinn and Syrah and they were ALL amazing! All wines made more in the french bordeaux method with great vintages! Sending some home! read more

Came here for my cousins birthday and I just found my new favorite winery! Trini, Lucy, and another host helping them I think his name was Fernando, made this first experience really special for my cousin, myself, and my family. They actually closed the building to host my cousins birthday at their estate and winery. The room can fit up to 60 people comfortably and 30 people seated. What really touched me is that this whole estate has meaning to it, whether if it's from the gift box, to the windows, to every art piece inside the house, to the medallions hanging on the vines, their wines, etc. EVERYTHING had meaning and I actually loved hearing that during the house tour. They also mentioned that people can actually book their stay at this house through airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/14088383?s=67&shared_item_type=1&virality_entry_point=1&sharer_id=77568103&unique_share_id=09c48e46-2296-4034-b5a5-067232935ea5 It's actually beautiful and you don't need to worry about driving back home or to your hotel, so thats perfect! If you want to be near the water, and have more guests with you they also have a bigger airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/38461275?s=67&shared_item_type=1&virality_entry_point=1&sharer_id=77568103&unique_share_id=9e9ec394-55db-4f6c-9efd-797fae6f4443 Sorry, getting off topic.. let's talk about there wine! They won an award for their pinot, zinfandel, and chardonnay. When you drink chardonnays they're usually buttery, but this is not as buttery as you would expect which was a nice change. The two pinots and zinfandel is actually my favorite! Just give it a try and you wont regret it! They also pour generously too! If you join the club you can get personalized stone medallions and choose which vine you want to hang your medallion on. They say "It's the only winery where the vines wear jewels." I can go on and on about this place, but this review will be too long. Will definitely come back and bring my boyfriend! Thanks again for being amazing hosts! read more

This place is such a gem and one of the best wineries I've visited in the Russian River Valley. All of the staff is just as incredible as the wines, location, and owners which we were fortunate enough to meet during our visit. It's ironic because I personally am not crazy about Chardonnay or Pinots, but yet I loved everything that was poured and bought a few bottles of each. There's plenty of outdoor space to enjoy wines and the river is very close to the tasting room. They are also dog friendly! They made sure our dogs had water as soon as we arrived. I really can't wait to go back to taste again and stock up on the great wines. Huge shoutout to Trini, Lisa and Lafayette! read more

"Wines for those with something to be grateful for." What a truly wonderful statement that simply warms one's soul. And perhaps one of the most wonderful characteristics that this winery has is the deep and welcoming soul that every person of its team display. Gregarious and inviting are two words that describe Sue and Fernando--the two attendants who graciously took care of us during the visit. From the very first phone call inquiring whether they were open, received by Fernando, to the time we first walked in and welcomed by Sue, Gracianna truly lives up to its namesake. A tasting fee of $25 will get you a delicious line-up of rosé, whites, and reds. A wonderful progression from fresh, candy rosé to tingle the palette proceeds to a great example of white wine variance: sauvignon blanc and chardonnay. Sauvignon blanc has tropical fruits with an undertone of mint that is pronounced. The chardonnay is unexpectedly not as buttery in texture, but definitely still has a full-body characteristic. The two pinots and zinfandel as the red offerings are distinct in depth but has an uncanny similarity that transitioning from one to the other is like Goldilocks choosing which porridge is just right for her. I would have to agree that the overall tasting experience was paced appropriately, friendly, and delicious. With the solid 5 star ratings they have garnered, it's no surprise why they have been lauded accordingly. read more

Where do I start. Our 5 day stay at Gracianna was truly amazing. Many Thanks to Trini and Lisa, our hosts and the owners of Gracianna who reside nextdoor on the same property. Ann and I are grateful and happy for having the opportunity to have stayed on the Gracianna winery site and to have joined the Gracianna's guest family. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts! We have left with fond memories and the hope to return again. Also, Kudos to Fernando who was outstanding and helpful during our stay. read more

Gracianna Winery - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Healdsburg, California

Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! (7/23/2023 visit) What a delightful experience at this family owned winery. From the moment we stepped out of the car we were welcomed by Maya, the cute black dog. Lafayette welcomed us in as we stepped into the winery. We felt like were invited to share amazing wine with new friends. Four different people poured wine, shared tasting notes and some fun stories. Lafayette was super fun! He described the wine and made us laugh telling us that one of the wines could be pared with BBQ meats or hot Cheetos! Too funny. Trinni was very welcoming as was another lady. Sorry, I forgot your name. Hannah poured her first serving for us. Thanks Hannah! We asked Hannah to describe the 2021 Zinfandel and she said it was "luscious ". She was spot on. What a wonderful experience. The wine, outside patio, view and staff (owners) were amazing! We ended up buying two bottles of wine to enjoy. We will definitely be back. Thanks for making us feel at home. read more

This review is long long overdue! I came to Gracianna for my 24th birthday in July of 2020 (height of covid) with 4 friends. We had the most spectacular time. First off, I need fo acknowledge how incredible the winery owners are! They let us play with their dog, told us the history of the vineyard and the local area, and spent time chatting with us. We really felt like we had known them for so long! They had recently had to deal with flooding and them the fires- and yet they handled everything with grace and a smile on their faces! The property was beautiful, the people were wonderful, and we will definitely be coming back! read more

If you want to have a great wine tasting with a great host, look no further then Gracianna. Trini, Lisa and Lafayette made sure we had a great experience and made us feel like we have been friends for 20 years. At the large wineries they treat you like a number, but here you feel Ike family. Put this on your list to visit when you are in Healdsburg.

Quaint little winery on Westside Rd. If you blink, you could miss it, but if you find this little gem, you will not be disappointed. Their wines are phenomenal, the atmosphere it casual, elegant, and relaxed, and the people are terrific! Super friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. If you're in Sonoma County tasting wine, this place is a must-see. read more

On a recent visit to wine country, we visited this spot, which was directly across from another winery. This is a quaint winery that can be easily missed, but is worth a visit. The service was friendly, warm and attentive. The ambiance was very relaxing. We had a tasting and I really enjoyed the Zinfandel - nice and robust and full of flavor, I purchased two bottles. If you're looking for something off the beaten path a bit and looking for a nice experience, this is a solid choice. read more

Such a gem! Even though it was the hottest day of the year so far we joined our friends, who are members, for a tasting. The staff was gracious and helpful even with the heat, taking time to explain each wine poured. Even with the heat the setting was wonderful. The outside seating area, (very covid conscience), overlooked the vineyard and was shaded by either trees or umbrellas for the most part. Trini filled us with great stories about the wines. The Gracianna Sauvignon Blanc "Kiwi's Blend", even though I'm normally not a big fan of this varietal, was exceptional. This Crisp with more acid then fruit this New Zealand style wine would be perfect with seafood. The 2016 Gracianna Chardonnay was crisp without being over-oaked and the 2016 Gracianna Pinot Noir was excellent. Unfortunately the heat was a bit too much for us and we had to cut short our tastings. The true spirit of this region shines through with Trini and the entire 2016 Gracianna staff. Fires, floods or Covid don't hamper the true joy of their wine making. Please support this wonderful "Old World" family style winery and it's wonderful staff. p.s For dinner the same evening we make pork and lamb burgers and paired with the Gracianna Zinfandel. Exceptional pairing for an exceptional wine. Five stars! read more

We thought we were done for the day but just had to stop here based on a recommendation we got from someone at a previous winery - and so glad we did! They have many yummy wines and reasonably priced. Our server, Hannah was great - fun, funny and knowledgable - we were the only guest there which is always great. We tasted and liked alot: Kiwi blend Sav Blanc, Suzanne's blend Chardonnay and Bacigalupi Pinot Noir. They have lovely grounds, would be perfect for a picnic. We will be back - great place - put it on your list for sure! read more

Gracianna was the highlight of our Russian River/Healdsburg wine exploration journey. We stopped by on a Monday and Sue was hosting the tasting room. Her warm welcome and wine knowledge helped us feel right at home. Trinny, the owner, stopped by with the family vineyard dog, Sadie. He chatted with us for a bit and then left the dog to keep us company! Do not miss this special gem. The wine tasting menu was a "six shooter" (we loved them all). read more

We chose this winery to bring visiting family members to because it seemed like a simple calm accessible and friendly place. Reservation email was responded to immediately and some personal concerns were addressed with humor. The setting is indeed gorgeous, relaxing, very little traffic... none of us are wine drinkers so we needed guidance and information and Gracianna staff were generous with their attention and patient with us. It was also just fun! The tastes went Rose, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot, Zin and Syrah. When we paid they gave the eldest a free visit, so nice of them.... We all appreciated the simplicity and the message of gratitude throughout the winery, and got what we wanted: some education, an experience, some souvenirs and a feeling of appreciation for life. read more

We were driving down Westside Rd, having just left a nearby winery. We stopped at Gracianna because the buildings looked cool and it just felt like it was going to be a good place. But that turned out to be an understatement! Fernando welcomed us into the tasting room and we started drinking the exceptional wines. Soon Trini came by and of course we quickly became part of the family. If you are in the Russian River area, you will not find a better winery and certainly not a better group of people. Gracianna is a wonderful place, where you are welcomed and made to feel like part of the family. We even stopped in to enjoy more of the Pinot and Zin again the next day! Thank you Trini, Lisa and Fernando for a great experience. read more

The most delicious wines are only superseded by the best service and most friendly atmosphere. The winemaker's dinner was an intimate and excellent event from the greeting as we pulled into the parking area to the greeting at the door and all the way through each course of the delectable meal, paired with Gracianna's beautifully crafted wines. The Amador family is welcoming, fun, and talented in their craft!! I certainly did not expect to walk out with two cases of wine, but it was so delicious I almost had no choice but to bring some of that yumminess home with me. We'll be back soon! read more
