We are excited to come again and to see their new tasting room in downtown Healdsburg once it open! Thank you, Clay and Bobby!

It's also very convenient to get to because it's only 2 minutes and less than a mile away from downtown Healdsburg. I love that everything you can imagine is here in one location. You can walk around to the different wine tasting rooms and enjoy a glass of wine or enjoy a wine flight. The ambiance is warm and welcoming and they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Each tasting room has plenty of seating and they also have a large communal space in the middle of Bacchus Landing so you have lots of options! This is an excellent place to come and sip and relax with enjoy good company and amazing wines! There are 7 wineries at Bacchus Landing: Smith Story Wines, Comstock, Aldina Vineyards, Convene by Don Kosta, Solo Nuestro Wines, Dot Wines, and Westside Sparkling. We have only tasted at Smith Story Wines and Convene Wines so far. We personally love Pinot Noir and have also been loving white wines more as well! We absolutely love the wines at Smith Story Wines. Their Pinot Noir is incredible as were all the wines we tasted here! We can't say enough great things about Smith Story Wines! They are a local family owned winery and each vineyard that they work with is also owned by families. I personally love when I see local family owned businesses supporting other local families! The hospitality here is amazing and they make you never want to leave! All the wines we tried here we absolutely loved! They really have it all: amazing wine, a heartwarming story, and amazing hospitality! We also enjoyed the Pinot Noir at Convene Wines. I can't speak for the other wineries here because we haven't made it to them yet, although look forward to coming back and trying the other wineries here! You can check out their website because they have events throughout the year such as live music. There is also a bocce ball court if you want to sip wine and have some fun! Highly recommend checking them out if you haven't been here yet!

Aesthete Family Winery & Farm is one of those places that keeps getting better every time we visit…read more The wines are excellent--everything we tasted was sooo good--but what really sets Aesthete apart is the experience. This is a true family-owned winery, and you can feel it the moment you arrive. They make you feel less like a customer and more like a guest of the family. It's relaxed, welcoming, and genuinely personal. It's also wonderfully family-friendly, with farm animals on the property that kids can enjoy, and dogs are welcome too. The setting is really special. Aesthete sits along a tributary of the Russian River, and one of our favorite things to do is settle into one of their big Adirondack chairs under the shady oak trees and enjoy a wine tasting while listening to the creek running by. It's incredibly peaceful and feels a world away from the typical winery tasting room experience. And then there's the food. They have a pizza oven on-site, and the pizzas are outstanding. Many of the toppings come straight from their own farm, as do ingredients for their very fresh salads. There's something pretty great about enjoying a fantastic glass of wine with a pizza made with ingredients grown right there on the property. We've been to a lot of wineries in Sonoma County, and Aesthete is one of the places we genuinely look forward to returning to. Great wine, incredible setting, fantastic food, and a family that makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. It's the kind of winery experience that makes you want to slow down, stay awhile, and come back again.

What a stunning & unique winery! So elated to revisit this farm by the river with my family (kids &…read moredog friendly). We came here on a weekday & thoroughly enjoyed the spaciousness & the outside scenery. They offer brick oven pizza as well. We tried the cheese & sausage pizza, which were delicious! All of the winery staffs were amicable; especially the female sommelier. The winery has some farm animals to entertain kiddos too. The five roosters were aggressive with stealing guests food off of the picnic tables, lol!

We left with some wine and some great memories! Thank you for all you do there at Quivira!

This location is a great option if you have small children.

After we visited Marine Layer, we asked what tasting room they would recommend, and they…read morerecommended Blood Root. This is a newer tasting room that has a kind of funky, semi-industrial, gothic vibe inside. They did seem to allow online reservations, but only for a day in advance. We walked in on a Saturday, and there was plenty of space. I enjoyed a lot of the wines we tried, and it was fun to learn about their winery. I bought a bottle of Remy Saves The Sea, which was a really interesting mix of white varietals. Also, I appreciated that they have a snacks menu, and we got the seasonal cheese and also the popcorn. Both were really good, and having some food was helpful to balance a day of wine tasting. Their prices are very reasonable. I also felt like it is a fun place to hang out, with a nice outdoor patio as well as indoor space.

We were completely blown away by the thoughtful menu, knowledgeable hosts, and warm hospitality from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, Kyle welcomed us and seamlessly guided us through the experience, sharing the rich history of Williamson Wines alongside detailed stories behind every dish and glass. Both Kyle and Jesse went above and beyond to keep our group engaged and exceptionally well cared for throughout the entire meal. The culinary offerings were outstanding. The chef even came out to check on our table, presenting six expertly crafted courses. As someone with food allergies, I was especially grateful for how attentive the team was--strictly accommodating dietary needs and seamlessly providing tailored alternatives without missing a beat. Our Pairing Highlights: - Shrimp Cocktail (housemade cocktail sauce, avocado) | Paired with Sparkling White Wine - Creole Beef Chili (mango salsa, peppers, kidney beans, tortilla strips, Herbie's Creole + Cajun Seasonings) | Paired with Viognier 2023 - French Onion Chicken (gruyere, caramelized onions, toasted baguette, Herbie's mixed herbs) | Paired with Grenache 2022 - House-made Lemon Ricotta Ravioli (preserved lemon, spinach, garlic, basil, cream, parmesan, Herbie's Italian Seasoning) | Paired with Meritage 2021 - Croissant Bread Pudding (Republica del cacao dark chocolate sauce, Tahitian vanilla, Herbie's Wattleseed) | Paired with Grange Cuvée 2022 - Mushroom Tart Bite | Paired with Sparkling Shiraz While every single dish hit the mark, the Lemon Ricotta Ravioli and French Onion Chicken were the highlights for me. The wine pairings elevated every bite; I'm a sucker for a great Viognier, and couldn't resist taking two bottles home! The Grange Cuvée was also a refreshing standout. The ambiance struck the perfect balance--refined and elegant without feeling stuffy or overly formal. Thank you to Kyle, Jesse, the chef(s), and the entire Williamson team for an unforgettable outing. I'm already counting down to my next visit!
