Cute winery in Healdsburg that offers a variety of tasting options. Overall, great wines and friendly staff. Despite being late to our scheduled reservation due to traffic, we were promptly greeted and brought inside for our tasting. We were in the Legacy Lounge which was very comfortable and spacious. I opted for the varietals tasting which I enjoyed and liked that I was able to try whites & reds. We did take same bottles home and enjoyed them at dinner later that night. I would like to come back to try a different experience/tasting. The pacing of the pours was a lot slower for my liking and we had to remind staff to pour the last glass for one of the flights because they started to clear the table and get us ready to check out.

If you like bubbly, come here for their Legacy Sparkling Wine tasting. The interior is a little underwhelming as they are in transition to decorate for an upcoming event in early Feb. The Sparkling Wine room is lovely. Spacious, floor to ceiling windows, minimalist decor. Izzy helped us with the 5 sparkling wines and cheese pairing. He's extremely friendly, fun and knowledgeable. This is a seated tasting, so you can savor the sparkling wine and cheese selection. The Demi Sec was our favorite and we had to buy a bottle. Its wonderful! They also have the brut rose which is an everyday enjoyable light and bright bubbly. The others were unique and interesting and can only be purchased at the facility. if you like bubbly, this place is not to be missed if you are in the area.

We enjoyed a wine and food pairing in the Bubble Room recently and it far exceeded our expectations. The food was phenomenal, the wine was amazing, and the service was excellent. The Bubble Room is elegant and the winery had a spring theme throughout the winery that was tasteful, colorful, and upbeat. We enjoyed six wines paired with food and everything we tried we were blown away by. We absolutely loved all of the food that we tried during this experience! They change their menu every six weeks so there is always something fun and new to try. We can't say enough great things about this wine and food pairing and if you are looking for an elevated experience, the Bubble Room is definitely worth checking out!

What a great experience this was! We happened to stop by prior to a concert near by and I'm so happy we stopped here! First of all, I LOVE bUBBLES!!!! So the fact that half these tastings are bubbles made my day!!! We patiently waited as they happened to be so busy and our patience paid off cause they offered free tastings for our patience! I swear that when you're patient and kind it gets you wayyyy better service and this is such a great example of that. Such a great photo area with delicious wines! I highly recommend this spot and I will definitely come again.

I am not a member at many vineyards but J is one of the few exceptions. Friendly and welcoming staff, great tasting property with indoor and outdoor facilities. I like the bubbles so I stick to the sparkling here and the Brut Rose is one of my favorites. The vintage selections along with their still wines offer something for everyone. Fan of the cheese paring with a flight of bubbles.

Growing up in the SF Bay Area, I started wine tastings at a young age when all the winery wine tasting rooms were in rustic buildings and had free tastings. Times have changed! I was not prepared for J Vineyards. I had expected to sit outside at picnic tables. The grounds are beautiful with a Fountain of Youth! The wine tasting building is spectacular, modern with two-story high ceilings. It was like walking into a huge art gallery or high-end hotel lobby. The five of us sat in the Legacy Lounge (one of us is a Club J member). I don't think I've ever had so many glasses at a place setting before, maybe 6 or 7 including a water glass. Even slightly different size flutes for different sparkling wines. Plus delicious local cheese pairings for each tasting. It was a great introduction to J Vineyards, well known for sparkling wines and several outstanding Pinot Noir (Eastside Knoll Vineyard, Russian River Valley 2020 was excellent). Unfortunately, in Fort Lauderdale where I live, most shops only carry J's standard non-RRV APA Pinot Noir.

Wine and cheese pairing

Fantastic experience! The wine and cheese pairings were spot-on, and the staff made everything fun and easy to understand. Beautiful space, great service, and delicious wines. One of the best tastings in Sonoma--highly recommend!

Visited the bubble room for their food and wine pairing. This has been my third time and each visit has been unique and incredible. You're greeted with a glass of champagne to start the experience. This is a 5 course menu with a couple bonus additions- in the beginning and at the very end. The personal touch of adding your name to the top of the menu makes the lunch feel that much more special. The presentation is beautiful and the combination of ingredients is very innovative. The bubbles and wine pair perfectly with each course. In the past the added chocolates to finish were served on a plate but this time they were in a cute to go pyramid shaped boxed. I loved that. The bubble room is a classy setting with gorgeous chandeliers and fresh flowers on the tables. Great for a special occasion. This experience never disappoints - highly recommend.

I had the honor and pleasure to be a guest at J Vineyards & Winery. Oh what a treat! My gal friend who lives in the Bay Area coordinated this visit and we certainly had fun. First the property - pristine, pretty, pleasurable Second the production - I love their sparking wines (nuff said) Third the tasting - Executive and professional Fourth the staff - Fun and knowledgeable Fifth the overall - Well, I became a J Vineyards & Winery member This would be a great place for a wedding, anniversary, graduation, birthday or no occasion. They do have the facilities to accommodate larger functions. You can check with their Events Team who will give you the rundown. They have tours. TAKE THE TOURS Notes- about 1 1/2 hours from San Francisco

The last winery of our weekend was @jwinery Bubbles and Pinots all day. The grounds are beautiful. We took our tasting outside. Which meant that we had to go inside every time we were ready for the next taste. For me this was a miss, the patio is gorgeous. The inside is nice but drinking wine outside is just better. I wish that there was organized tasting outside too.

Wine flight
Mary Ann P.

What a lovely tasting room. The grounds are just beautiful and our attendant Izzy was very knowledgeable about the wines and its pairing with the specific cheeses selected for them. Not a high pressure to join the wine club and very relaxing atmosphere. Seemed like a lot of locals were there which tells me it's a great place!!

Checking in.

We chose to drop in Marine Layer Wines. The tasting room is located in a very nice area in beautiful downtown Healdsburg across Healdsburg square. Parking is accessible all around the street and Healdsburg square. The modern decor was beautiful and bright. There were plenty of tables and couches to accommodate all different size parties. The vibe was inviting and family friendly. There was a cozy fireplace in the front as well. We ordered a glass of Lyra Pinot Noir and a glass of Aries Chardonnay. My Pinot Noir was smooth while the wifey's Chardonnay was crisp and refreshing. The wine was great quality. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Marine Layer Wines. The staff was nice and helpful. We appreciated the family friendly environment. It was nice to take a break from the hustle and bustle of Christmas, by relaxing with a nice glass of wine.

I made reservations for two adults and two young teenagers on a Tuesday morning and were the first guests to arrive that day. We were greeted with a welcome glass and were told they were setting up our table. That gave us enough time to do a couple of selfies and within minutes, we were escorted inside. Season Leef was our host/wine ambassador that morning and we loved her energy, attention to detail and how she treated us like we were members of the MacRostie Winery/family. She was more about understanding our palettes and pouring us what we gravitated towards to showcase the vast portfolio Heidi (winemaker) has been able to produce. Usually not a fan of Chardonnays but it was a neat experience tasting different variables and how each one is slightly different. We know we like Pinot Noirs so when we started diving into the reds, thats when we started figuring out what we liked. Ended up purchasing a bottle of their 2022 Nightwing Vineyard 828 Clone Pinot Noir :chefkiss: My two young teens are used to being at wineries with us so they're pretty good about keeping themselves occupied on their own (even with out devices). But, I really appreciated that Season brought over some paper and a pack of markers for them since they both still like to draw. Plus, we had a couple of good sessions of tic tac toe while we sipped and took our time. We had a great experience here thanks to Season! Seeing that they're dog friendly, we'll bring our 4 legged family member next time.

I forgot the exact experience that we chose, but it was $75 for each with wine and food included. You will get 4 wine tastings, for us it was 2 reds and 2 whites, and a charcuterie plate with cheese, salami, and seasonal fruits and crackers. Wine quality was great. The white wines had a clean and crisp taste with that bright acidity and mineral finish. The reds had a very deep grapefruit aromatic and earthy undertone. After we've done with wine tasting, they gave us a free piece of dark chocolate (super yummy) at the end for palate cleanser. Our server was really knowledgeable and attentive though, so service was nice. Overall a great spot if you stay cool! But okay, few things to watch out for. Make sure you make a reservation in advance cuz they were packed (reservations needed prepayment). Even though we had one, we still had to wait like 20 minutes before our table was ready. Also, definitely ask to sit inside in the summer!! We sat outside and there is no AC, it was so hot we couldn't fully enjoy the graveyard view, it's way too sweaty for the summer.

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.
