    1st let me start off by saying that I'd been wanting to come to this vineyard since I saw a piece done on the winery & the owner on a tv show called In Wine Country that used to air on the very early morning. Since then (2009) I made myself a promise that if I ever found myself in Healdsburg, I would go. I finally made it to Healdsburg & the winery. It was everything I thought it would be then, as it is now. The wine room has a really chill vibe to it. Surfboards adorn the tasting area and the barrel room. Jody & Heidi, the ladies running the tastings that day were very informative & patient in explaining the different varietals they make. There was also a young man there whose name escapes me promptly handed me a tasting of Rosé. I got to relax briefly in the barrel room, tasting their spectacular wines, while "working" as I had some emails to catch up on my laptop. They do provide a small little menu of cheese, cured meats & a selection of hand pies. I even got to meet the owner himself (Oded Shakked). He was gracious enough to take a picture with me while I fanboyed a bit. If you're looking for a small Sonoma County boutique winery with zero pretentiousness, this is the place for you. Jody even gave me some great recommendations on where to dine while I visited their town. I'm due to return for work in the Bay Area in 2 months, and will definitely make the drive up to see my favorite Sonoma winery again. Cheers! Pablo.

    Longboard's actual tasting room was a unique experience, blending endless technicolor surfing videos with tasty wine to try. They had cute souvenirs, caps and wine related gadgetry for sale. The down side was that the only place with tables and chairs for visitors was in the cavernous "metal building" adjacent the tasting room (no chairs here) which was freezing cold and had no atmosphere to speak of. The lady tasting room attendant was severely no nonsense and would not consider letting us sit inside the tasting room even though we were the only visitors in the whole place.

    Stopped in after a recommendation from Brauny & Dana (yes, the paper towel guy!). The Owner / Winemaker, 'Oded', from Israel, very cool chill guy. He's a surfer that's how fit he is, chatted for awhile out front- everyone is masked and following protocols. Then sat out front at a picnic table with a heater and Jodie came out periodically and wonderfully educated about a Rose' of Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir 'Mystos' vineyard, and a cold climate Syrah. I enjoyed the Rose- well crafted Syrah varietal comes through with a touch of acidity (not sweet, Russian River SB (think cooler region than most) was accessible, dynamic and seems to me will develop over a few years- always awesome with a wine that traditionally has a short life. Others loved the Pinot Noir! I feel like it's need more time to come together and I could taste all of the phenolics that will make this a more interwoven (flavors mesh) and outstanding Pinot Noir. Case in Point, just because it's not perfect for me Right Now, doesn't imply that you will not Love it. 3 other people there felt it was spot on. Definitely well structured with all kinds of nuances coming thru - Cherry Cola, Raspberry, Crushed Violets, twig, wet slate, camphor/eucalyptus quality, potting soil, saddle leather and a long lingering finish. Will evolve into a Gorgeous Wine. And I absolutely loved the Syrah. Cold climate means they pick early and/or it's a cooler region ie Northern Rhône- with ripe blackberry, blueberry, tend to get more white pepper, earth, etc. LOVE - the winemaker obviously has a lot of experience making rich delicious wines. And the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Also better price points than many in the valley. With his own vineyard named Dakine!!

    Great tasting experience at Longboard Vineyards, the wines were delicious and we loved everything we tasted. The vibe here is very cool, relaxed and not fussy at all. Very nice and informative staff and we are excited to discover this local place and we will be back when we run out of the wine we already purchased!

    How can you not love these vines?!

    I never really saw myself as a white wine fan. I thought all the good wines were from napa and sonoma, and basically started and ended at well-aged Cabernet. Thankfully, as I too aged into a more subtle and nuanced age, I realized in a moment of sadness that this was not the person I had to be! No! Whites were out there and roses too! And all sorts of wonderful wines that will make you transport to a place or time better than the one you're in! This, dear friends, is the power of a well-crafted bottle of wine, and Longboard is one of the best places to find it. When my husband and I moved to Hawaii, we hand selected some wines to take with us and store in our wine cellar. On one particularly hard Navy day, I very grudgingly skulked to our wine library and pulled out a bottle of Longboard 2013 Chardonnay from their Rochioli Vineyard. I poured a generous glass for myself and my husband and then something magical happened... I was no longer having an ultra cruddy day in hawaii, I was in Sonoma, feeling the sun, drinking in the Healdsburg air, and feeling free. My husband, concerned, asked me why I was crying and I of course blamed it on this perfect glass of wine. It had the power to salve my sadness and take me to a place of north county peace. This was an exceptional glass of happiness. On my return trip this month, I went back, got to meet the amazing owner, and snagged 4 of the remaining 6 from that year and plot. If you're reading this and saying " OH man, I missed out!!" never fear! Their other wines are good too! They have a few types of bubbly that you cannot miss, and their Kahuna red from the owner's vineyard is the perfect balance of bold red, friendly tannins, and north sonoma fruit. Some of their entry level wines found at local stores are not really to my liking, but you know, to each their own! Price is comparable to other small vintners, parking is free and onsite, the location is a little hokey with all the surf memorabilia, but if you can get past it, you will find yourself some really good wine.

    Off the main town of Healdsburg this tasting room is both fun and has fun wines. Mark C . and I are huge fans and when I found out we could visit it was on must try list. The winery has a laid back surfer vibe and those that find it have to seek it out or happen upon it. In either case you will not be disappointed in your experience. Loved their late harvest semillion which we have had trouble finding back east, their Cab, and Sav blanc, all of which will be consumed on our trip or shipped back home. Seek them out and you will not be disappointed.

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.

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.

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.
