    Matrix is always beautiful and fun. The lighter Pinots are tasty and they have a good range of wines, from Chardonnay to rose to Zinfandel and Pinot noirs. The staff is friendly and the wine dogs are sweet. Be aware if you have food or a doggo of your own that the dogs will probably stop by your table. Definitely recommend stopping here if you're around Healdsburg!

    Updating my review because Matrix continues to be a standout addition to the Wilson family of wineries. I am a member at another Wilson winery, but always find myself here more than the winery I'm actually a member at! The views are impeccable and this is often the place I bring out-of-towners to show them you don't have to go to Napa for a great experience. Everyone who works here is so nice and knowledgeable, and they'll help you curate the perfect experience if you have just 45 minutes or can take a leisurely stroll through their offerings. The wines are great here and no matter who joins me, they always find a perfect bottle to take home.

    A very welcoming fountain greets you.

    A cool fountain greets you as you approach the Matrix Winery tasting room. Our Server Jacqui was quite knowledgable as her family is in grape production and she gave us some great insights into the vineyards that were responsible for the various wines. Starting with the Rose of Pinot Noir was a great introduction to our tasting. The Matrix Estate Pinot Noir was quire nice but little dry for Jake. We both enjoyed the Estate Zinfandel very much. There is a pond just off the patio seating area which made our visit comfortable and relaxing.

    This is purely a wine tasting review. We are members of this winery, recently have joined. We loved the location, very. Ambient with nice views of the lake. We had superb service. We chose Matrix for their Pinots. Matrix is part of the Wilson artisan wines with a great list of other wineries. This was our first pickup. One thing we do wish though is being able to substitute wines in our pickup.

    The estate and seating area are lovely. Some cyclists stopped by on their route and end just like us enjoyed our own picnic snacks with the wine. Service was friendly yet not as informative as our previous wine stop. Just poured us the wines with minimal background. Which is fine and one way to do things. The view of the lake and vineyard was nice.

    Stumbled across this place just driving around. Me and wife decided to stop and see if we could do a tasting. We didn't have a reservation and they were very accommodating and sat us promptly. The grounds are amazing. We sat outside with views of the vineyards and pond. The staff were very friendly and we were not rushed at all. The Chardonnay was one of the best I've had. The others were also really good. Glad we found this place and read the reviews.

    First and foremost, let me just start off by saying that I'm a huge fan of Matrix Winery. I was a member for over a year before switching my membership over to their sister winery, DeLorimier. However, my last few tasting experiences (specifically my most recent one) have been some of the worst that I've ever received here. I brought some friends here a few weeks ago for a tasting and the service was abysmal. It was fairly busy but nowhere near as busy as it would have been had it not been during the pandemic. We arrived and were sat at a table on their back patio. The table was underneath a tree, and several leaves kept falling on the table during our visit. This isn't the fault of the winery, but I can't help but to think that somebody knew that this was happening as nobody was sitting at this table (there were other tables available). Our wine steward (didn't get his name) told us nothing about the wines that he was pouring. The wine pours were ridiculously small. I wouldn't even call them pours, let alone sips. He kept coming over trying to pour the next taste even though some of us weren't ready for them yet, basically rushing us through the tasting. This was an hour and a half tasting that I booked a few weeks in advance, but we barely made it to an hour with the way that he was pouring. Ironically after he poured our last wine, he was nowhere to be found. We waited for him to come back to ask us if we wanted to purchase anything, but homeboy never showed. We finally just got up and went to the tasting counter. I literally could have just left since I get free tastings here, but we decided to still tip him since we have hearts and figured that maybe he was new or just seriously bombarded with tables. When we went inside to give him his tip, he was at the tasting bar and turned around like he didn't see us leaving. It wasn't until I said "thank you" and left the cash on the counter that he turned back around and said thank you back. Unbelievable and completely unacceptable. I was honestly embarrassed that I brought my friends here for a tasting when I have so many other sister wineries to choose from that would have easily given 10 times better service. This really should be a 2 star review, but since I really do love their wine and this winery, I'm just going to drop it to a 3. Let this be a lesson learned; please train your ENTIRE staff on sommelier etiquette and customer service or you will lose memberships and business. Now I'm feeling like I made the right decision by switching my membership over to DeLorimier. I'm hoping that things will improve on a future visit here (whenever that may be?!).

    I came in on a weekday with my friend because she is a wine member. We were able to get seated without a reservation but they did say they prefer when guest make reservations ahead of time. At first I felt that we were just a table that they would get to when they had time (there was only one other table there at the time). Service got better and we had a few good laughs with the pourers . I really enjoyed the wine and seating area looking over the pond. I want to come back and bring my husband because we are looking for a new membership.

    Such a beautiful setting with excellent service. We had Patrick pouring for us and he was great! He was very attentive and knowledgeable. There is also a resident wiener dog on site with quite the personality. The wine selection is delicious and affordable!

    Serviced sucked! The ambiance is beautiful. Our server was busy on her phone. We got tired of waiting and decided to order our wine on line.

    What a beautiful winery with nice views, vineyards, and the river behind the wisteria covered patio. We arrived early in the morning and were pleasantly greeted by Patrick. He was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. As it was a blistering hot Sonoma day, we eagerly tried their sauvignon blanc and rose. Both were spectacular! Next, we sampled their reds...pinots were very good. Perhaps because of the weather, we took home the sauvignon blanc and rose. Ah! So good in the warmer temperatures.

    What can I say, this winery has an spectacular view, fell in love with their wine and the winery itself. I went to the Chili taste off and this was one of the participating winery's. So many to choose from it was hard to pick, this winery greeted us with a red wine from the Bacigalupi vineyard state which was delicious. I would definitely come back to this winery in the summer time as the view is phenomenal and has that Zen relaxation feeling. Thank you 2019 Wine and Chili taste off for one espectacular event.

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 ordered their signature tasting, and the staff member who guided us through it was fantastic. We're not super knowledgeable about wine, but he was so friendly and welcoming, and explained everything in a really approachable, easy-to-understand way. It honestly made the whole tasting experience really fun and way better than we expected. Just note that they don't serve food, so it's definitely best to grab a bite beforehand and then come here to do the tasting. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely come back again--and bring friends next time!

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.

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.
