I purchased 6 bottles of futures Port from Stephen &Walker, before they closed up shop. I was told that I would either be able to pick up my wine from a different vintner who would conclude the transaction. Or they would refund me. Even with being on very good terms with The Wine Maker, crickets. No wine or money refunded. A very say way to close up such an amazing brand of wine and customer service. read more

From the moment you step in you are warmly greeted with a smile, hospitality and warmth. There is something SPECIAL about this place. I love that their wines are not only AWARD WINNING , but TASTE great, too. Did someone say Portentous?! Need I say more, this is the best Port wine I have ever had in my life--not syrupy, not overwhelming on the palette. But just right with a nice infusion to bring out the acidity and sweet notes. The Ambiance makes me feel like I am at home. Very laid back but the interior has sophistication. We attended their Anniversary party . The staff made my husband feel celebrated for his birthday , and were welcoming to my children and I. Nancy was a sheer pleasure, along with her staff. Very personable, down to earth and knows her stuff !! ( Spoiler Alert, she is well versed in her craft in the wine industry) so interesting to chat with . The only downfall and sad part is I didn't post sooner . read more

Stephen & Walker was our first stop at the Wine and Food Affair tasting event. We arrived a bit early, and entered at the opening time of 11 AM. Though they are more like a tasting room, as there are no vinyards to wander, I loved their setup. They made great use of their outdoor space with the pizza oven, lawn games, and a live band. The staff was really friendly and got us started with the tasting. They had some excellent wines and they talked us through the differences between each vintage. As we were at a wine and food tasting event, we were waiting for the pizza to be done cooking, which was taking a bit longer than planned. The staff was apologetic about the wait and offered more tastings. We then went outside and enjoyed a lawn version of ax-throwing with live music. We grabbed some more wine and then the pizza was ready. It was a great start to the event with great wine, fun atmosphere, and a friendly staff. I would definitely return! read more

When I joined the club they were amazing, but over the last few years, this last year in particular, they have gone downhill. It is July and I still do not have my shipment from the Spring order (which was charged to my credit card in April, and supposed to ship in May). I have called and emailed MULTIPLE times over the last 6 weeks now and have not received any calls or emails back. I loved the wine so I am so sad to see what they have become, but the customer service is dismal and just not answering voicemails and emails is not the way to handle a business. read more

Need a magnum? They've got you covered with various options to choose from - the bottles are beautiful and make a great gift. I popped in on a quiet Christmas Eve and was thrilled to find a magnum of the delicious, fruit-forward bottle we'd just been gifted and enjoyed: 2018 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 'Ponytails' The magnum gift was very happily received! I've been to Stephen & Walker pre-pandemic for tastings and appreciated their Zins and light bite pairings. It's located in downtown Healdsburg, just off the Plaza. read more

The Pinots here are money. We first got introduced because my mother in law's neighbor, Kristin works here and gave her a bottle for the holidays. We had it with dinner when we visited and were so impressed. It was on our list to visit the next time we're in the area. Fast forward to when we were able to visit and taste the rest of the wines over Presidents Day weekend. The place is only a tasting room. They get their grapes from different vineyards and concentrate on perfecting the wines. Barbara Walker sure does know how to make amazing wines! They had some outdoor seating available and what a surprised because Kristin was working! She was so knowledgeable about the wines and gave us full details. The tasting also comes with some cheeses. It really complements the wines. The wines were so delicious that my husband decided to become a member. We don't live in the area, but now that we're members we'll need to visit his mom more and come here to taste and buy some more wines! read more

Great afternoon here. Beautiful day and tasty wines. Nancy is really nice. Local small winery that makes some really tasty zins. I really liked their Rosè read more

Such a disappointment. This was honestly the worst wine tasting experience that I've had in Healdsburg thus far. Made a reservation in advance through Yelp for 2 tastings here which was very easy. Stephen & Walker is one of the few tasting rooms on the square that's open passed 5, so I booked a reservation for my friend and I since we were having dinner in Downtown Healdsburg right after. I've been to several other tasting rooms on the square (I'm also a member of Wilson and JCB), but I had never been to Stephen & Walker before. It always seems busy when I've walked by, and I was excited to finally give them a try. Our reservation was at 5, but we were running a little behind from Trione's member pickup party. We called to let Stephen & Walker know, and they said that we were fine. When we arrived, we were sat on their front patio. As you know during COVID, tastings are by appointment only and on the patio only. Their front patio is setup very nicely and the ambience is there. It's $20 for a tasting and they do a cheese and wine pairing. Each tasting is waived with a bottle purchase. When we sat down, Deb gave us menus but didn't come back for a while to actually pour our wines. There were a few other groups there (maybe 2 other tables), but it wasn't busy. When she finally came back over, she just poured the wine and gave no explanation about it. In fact, she did this with every single wine that she poured. Speaking of the pours, they weren't very generous. They seemed to keep getting smaller and smaller as the tasting went on. Service was slow and inattentive throughout the duration of our tasting. Deb seemed more interested in assisting the other tables that were there. When we were ready to leave, Deb came over and asked "So what wine are you buying?". Wow. Um NONE. None of them were even worth buying. Not only was the service bad, but the wines were mediocre too. I didn't enjoy their white wines at all, and their reds were decent but not worth the price that they were charging for them. The cheese was good, but that's not even from their winery. It's from Williamson down the street (a much better tasting room too). My friend and I were both left extremely disappointed with our experience here. With so many wonderful tasting rooms on the square, there's absolutely no reason to ever come back here again in the future. read more

Phenomenal wine and a beautiful experience with the winemaker, Nancy Walker. We became members immediately. Everyone should be so lucky in life to have a Sunday of perfect weather, lovely wine and the best company. Thank you Nancy read more

After joining a few other wine clubs prior to Stephen & Walker, I was stunned to find this winery and wish I had much sooner. On my first visit I met with Branden who was very knowledgeable on the wines and made sure to answer any questions I had. I especially enjoy bringing friends and family to try their wines, play games and relax. Their family and dog friendly environment are refreshing. Thank you for making this the place to be! read more

Best portentous wine!!! Amazing!!! It was absolutely incredible! Sooo good!!! Best wine of dry creek valley!

Revising due to extenuating circumstances. S&W finally got back to me and shared why service had stalled. There are no longer employees to run the tasting room due to several issues. I appreciate the honest feedback and apologies from the owner. My advice is the company should put this info on their website and social accounts so customers don't get frustrated with the lack of communication and staff not showing up at reservations. The reservation booking service on their site should be turned off until they have the staff to open the tasting room. That said, I'm revising to three stars out of courtesy. If the company can fix the staffing issues and meet their reservation times in the future I will revise the rating again for more stars. However I can't recommend visiting them until their staffing situation is resolved to the point where they meet 100% of booked reservations. No customer should be left driving two hours only to find out no one is at the tasting room after a booked reservation. read more

10/10! The wine is fantastic, the value is amazing, and the environment is so relaxed and awesome. They even have card decks and games you can play! I cannot recommend enough. This is our favorite place in Sonoma court by far. The tasting fee is waived by a purchase of 1 bottle. A must visit! read more

This is our favorite winery! My husband loves their robust reds & I can't get enough of their whites & the Rosé, oh their Rosé, just divine. Their tasting room is cozy & inviting. The cheese pairing is a perfect compliment. It's also in walking distance to everything you'll want to do in Healdsburg. Right down the street from Willi's, I mean you can't beat that! We are a family of members, loyals. We love the staff they're the best, super knowledgeable about the wine and always make you feel welcomed! Go for the wine stay for the Deb read more

Multiple people told us to check this place out and I'm so glad we did. We went on a Sunday evening which was quiet but it seems like it is busy during peak hours. Carly was our sommelier and she was wonderful. Described the wines with so much detail, and gave us suggestions not only in the area to check out but also wineries/tasting rooms in San Diego. The artisan tasting was delicious, the cheeses and chocolates paired so perfectly with each wine. Both my girlfriend and I ended up buying bottles home (a bottle purchase waives the $20 tasting fee). During the holiday season, there are some specials with bottle prices as well! I will definitely be back again! read more

We found this place on yelp and couldn't be any happier! It's family owned and we met the son of the owners. Our bartender Yesenia was AMAZING (friendly, personable, & attentive) and it was only her first day serving people. The best part is that if you check in on yelp you get free tastings for TWO! and if you are just coming for a tasting, they will waive the tasting with you when you buy a bottle, which will make your overall cost even cheaper. They pair four cheeses with four wines, and the tasting includes a total of five wines. My favorite wines were the Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville (smooth, leathery, fruity) & the Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast. The salted truffle cheese was also amazing and they gave us extra which was an added perk. Definitely stop by if you are in the area! They are one of the few wineries that stay open late (7pm). read more

I love Stephen & Walker award, winning wine! They have won so many awards, and their wine is excellent. I've been a wine club member here for about seven years. I prefer their wine over some of the most expensive Napa, Carneros, and Sonoma Wine. Every time I bring a guest to this winery, they rave about Steven & Walker. The service is always great, Debbie always does everything she can to accommodate us and make it special. From my wine collection, this is my favorite!! read more

I've enjoyed visiting their tasting room when it was located near the square and meeting with Debra for tastings in the past. I went this past Sunday and was redirected to their new location which in a very industrial area. According to their website, they were supposed to be open but we found that to not be the case. Very disappointed bc that's time we took away from visiting another tasting room/winery. We also called and got no answer. read more

Stephen & Walker is one of our favorite spots in Healdsburg. My wife and I love their incredibly complex, bold reds. This time we came up on a weekday in late fall and was greeted by Debra, who led us on a luxurious tasting of wine paired with Dubliner cheese with various accoutrements. She is extremely knowledgeable about their wines and is so welcoming and friendly while she showcases them. We love Deb! Our favorite wine of theirs is the Petite Syrah, which always goes fast with our friends and family. For those that like exceptional Cabs, they have some of the best we've tasted. The 2017 Cab was our favorite this time -- exquisite with gentle tannins and complexity that just goes and goes. The ambiance is also warm and classy with leather seating and a beautiful bar. It's a place we could easily lose track of time enjoying. Overall, 5 / 5 amazing spot. read more

My wife and I didn't like any of the wines here, everything tasted artificial and we felt like there must have been some weird additives to the wine. Some even tasted more like spritzers than actually wine. Poured out several of the wines. The staff was very nice though, decent tasting room and was cool with a local band playing. Just didn't like the wine at all. read more

Don't hesitate to visit, you won't regret it. This place is a treasure. Debra is an amazing host!! She knows how to personalize your experience. We went in using the Yelp for the free cheese and wine pairing. We fell in love with the wines. It was a very elegant tasting. Everyone agreed the tasting menu progression kept getting better after each tasting. We couldn't decide what we liked and each couple walked out with a couple if not more bottles of wine. This was our fist wine stop for that day and I have to say Stephan and Walker was the best experience of our trip so far. The food and wine tasting we booked at another location could not compare to Stephan Walker. We feel we will forever compare all our wine tasting experience to this place because Debra set the bar high for excellent wine and service. read more

We have been buying wines from Nancy for about eight years - we joined their wine club at our first sip. The Pinot Noir and Cabernets they put out are incredible and a bargain for what you're getting. Their Zin and Petit Sirahs ate also delicious. And their Sav Blanc is one of my favorites - really good paired with spicy food or summer fairs. The staff at the tasting room, spearheaded by Deb, is friendly and knowledgeable and never pushy. They know their product is excellent - they don't need to pressure buyers! This is not cheap wine - This is GREAT wine read more

Very friendly service, they heard that it was our anniversary and not only waived our tasting fees but also gave us a free complimentary bottle! And of course the wine was great. Highly recommend! read more

Since 2015, when I first tried it, this has been my favorite wine of all the wine (and I've tried quite a few).

She is the most wonderful. read more

If you haven't traveled to Stephen and Walker you must put this on your to do list! The wine is superb. I go here every March for wine barrel tasting weekend. That was nine years ago.

Try a cab or Pinot Wines are exquisite. Don't forget the food pairings ! Truffle salt and cheeses are divine. Support this family owned winery which embodies love and passion in every bottle produced. read more

Loved my tasting experience here! The food pairings were so well paired and they offered up super normal pairing suggestions for at home pairings - something that I love and appreciate learning more about! The staff went above and beyond expectation and I thought the educational portion was so fun and interesting to learn about; for example where ports come from and why! I took so many notes during my tasting because of the absolutely great suggestions, I can't wait to pair their suggestions with wine for dinner at home! read more
