This place is gorgeous! The history is awesome and the views are amazing. The customer service is always top notch! Good size pours and ALL of the wines are phenomenal! We love this winery!

Mark enjoying a great glass of wine!

Excellent experience! Zach, our server, was very knowledgeable and passionate about the wines! His energy was infectious. Great wines!!! We will definitely be back!

We were welcomed by very friendly staff. We were waiting for the rest of our group but Mark found a spot for us right away. The barn is so cute and rustic and their backyard area is so pretty and next to the vineyards. Mark our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable. I did not have one wine that we did not like. Started off with white, rose, red and boulder reds. Loved them all. We left with a few bottles and we expect to be back and to go to their sister wineries to check them out.

We came here on a Tuesday at 3:30. It was so chill and relaxed. Alison (our sommelier) with hazel (dog) were there to welcome us in. We enjoyed the standard tasting flight which was free since we are members of the Wilson group. This was the first time to enjoy tasting at the "barn" and we will definitely return. We loved the casual relaxing ambiance here. The wines were all good. :) We really enjoyed the music selection here too!!

Friendly staff, beautiful surroundings, amazing and delicious wines. It's always a pleasure to bring friends here. Very good solid reds have us coming back time and time again. Although not the same grand tasting room as pre 2019 fires, the barn tasting room has a much more rustic and a true Sonoma wine country vibe. I actually prefer the barn setting to the old tasting room. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Reservations are recommended but not necessarily a deal breaker if you don't have one.

Had a wonderful tasting with Zach! He was not only delightful, but knowledgeable and kind! This service is why we keep coming back to visit

This was the last winery we hit on a day full of tastings. We arrived as the sun was starting to go behind the mountains and enjoyed a very nice tasting on the back patio outside of the barn. It was so sad when the original tasting room burned down, and you can still see the ruins of the old structure. I hear that they've opened up a tasting room in downtown Healdsburg, but we went out to the original site. Our host, Mark, was a great Guide to the wines, as well as a really neat person to chat with. At the time they were running a very cool special on their zinfandels, so we split a case with our friends and had it shipped back to the East Coast. I always enjoy stopping by this place, and will continue to do so in the future.

Been meaning to revisit Soda Rock Winery ever since the Kincaid fires destroyed their beautiful property last year, and I finally got the chance to do so a few weeks ago. What a difference a second visit makes! We really enjoyed our tasting with Mark, and I'm so excited to come back again. It's still devastating that the Kincaid fires destroyed Soda Rock's gorgeous tasting room. You can still see the ruins from outside of their barn. Luckily the barn was spared (this is where the winery has been currently conducting their tastings), but all that's left from their original tasting room is the brick wall from the original building. Damn those fires! As I write this review, the Walbridge (LNU) fire is currently burning right outside of Healdsburg. Praying that this fire won't do any further damage to Soda Rock or any other property for that manner. I was so sad to see the ruins, but I was also so happy to see the winery is thriving again in the midst of the damage and COVID. We came on a Saturday afternoon and sat behind the barn (outdoor tasting only due to COVID). They have a really adorable little setup here! It was hot when we went, but we had some nice shade from the umbrella at our table. Mark was our host and he was fantastic. He was very passionate and gave us details about each and every wine that he poured. He was also nice enough to take some pictures of us and told us a couple of really funny jokes. I've always been a fan of Soda Rock's wine, and this time was no different. In fact, I was so impressed with their sparkling wine! If you know me, you know that I'm not really big on sparkling. It's pretty rare that I'll purchase sparkling wine unless it's a demi-sec, a sparkling red, or just a really good sparkling that appeases my taste. We all fell in love with their Kenneth Carl sparkling and ending up purchasing a half case of it. They had a great deal and we were able to purchase it for even less than my membership discount allows. I just finished my last bottle a few days ago, so now I'll have to go back to purchase more of that deliciousness. Also really enjoyed their Primitivo and Wentworth Zinfandel. Although we couldn't taste inside of the barn, I was able to admire it while we picked up our wine bottles. It's decorated so nicely! They've got little string lights on the ceiling and a beautiful chandelier. Love the little water mister too! We each took turns standing near the mister because it was HAWT that day! So glad that I was able to visit again. My friends and I had a wonderful time. Can't wait to visit them again soon once the Walbridge fire is contained.

Beautiful winery in the Healdsburg area. Had to come out to support them after they were ravaged by the Kincade fire in 2019. The barn was saved even though you can still see places where it was scorched. It's beautiful though, perfect place to relax and enjoy our tasting. All that's left of the original tasting room is the front stone wall. I hope they're able to rebuild!

We've all heard the beautiful tasting room was taken during the Kincade fires this year in 2019, but have no fear the Wilson Family has the strength and resilience that helps make our community such an amazing place to call home here in Sonoma County. Lord Snout still stands overlook to the original 1800's wall that incredibly still stands as does the original barn!!! So while the rebuild is planned and gets underway the barn now is the place to be! Get out there and support, love, and enjoy the wines. We were lucky enough to catch the tail end of Lord Snout's 3rd birthday party this past weekend. Picked up some delicious wines, enjoyed the beautiful barn, and the overwhelming sense of community. I'm in awe of the Wilson's sense of community and ability to take this devastation and rise up from these ashes.

Great wines, great tasting room. A bit off the beaten track. in 2019, before the fire razed the new tasting room, we had the privilege of participating in a fabulous dinner and tasting here. Now it's back to the old barn until the new tasting room is built. But the barn is a beautiful venue for wine tasting! We were here recently on a slow Monday, and really enjoyed it! The wine is fabulous!

Club brochure

I really liked my server (I think his name was Mark). I kind of had to prompt him to talk about the property even though I told him I had never been before. For instance the big building remnants should be a really ear catching story right off the bat but I had to ask about it. However the server was knowledgeable about the wine, sold the wine club pretty well, and was super nice. Recommend coming when you don't want to freeze or be chilled however because like I said main building burnt in 2019 so continue to/ now only do the tastings out of a barn that has portable heaters but is still pretty much directly in the elements of the outdoors.

Love Bryan Tedricks sculpture from Burning Man!

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.
