    I'm such a fan of this place. Williams Selyem is a private winery meaning you need to be on their list to visit. Reservations only. You get an hour here and they are pretty strict with their times due to their limited availability. For those who have never visited, you can't use GPS to get here accurately. Look for the actual address once you're in the area and you'll be ok. Once you approach the gate, utilize the intercom and they'll let you in. There is always someone waiting for you once you park and they will lead you to your area. They took covid seriously here throughout and I super appreciated that. There are large tents for every party. You have one person taking you throughout your entire experience. WS is known for their pinots but I absolutely love everything they have to offer especially their whites. One of my faves to visit and looking forward to the next.

    Loved visiting the winery and love their wines! I become a member a few years back and at the beginning of 2022 my fiancé and I were able to plan a visit for a tasting. Tastings are for members and their guests only. We had a great time and our host was very knowledgeable and friendly. Beautiful grounds and tasting room! Can't wait to go back! I'm a huge Pinot noir fan (hence the membership) and my fiancé is a Cabernet Sauvignon fan BUT we actually enjoyed the Willams Selyem Chardonnay. So basically you cannot go wrong with any of their wines!

    The name William Selyem speaks for itself. If you know, you know. It is a prestigious winery and a pleasure to visit. I had the opportunity to taste in a private residence of William Selyem and what a treat. The property is endless views of glorious vineyards, simply breathtaking. The grounds are phenomenal- grand trees that have seen the earth's rotation for years upon years. The main visiting building is beautiful and modern with Healdsburg class. Anyone would be delighted to taste on this property. The residence we tasted in was gorgeous with outstanding views of the property from up the hill, looking down. The table setting and presentation was beautiful & personalized. The tasting itself made for a great day- a lot of fun and smiles. If you're a vino enthusiast this is a must visit at some point in your tasting ventures- a flex

    Had a great visit to the winery last weekend. Our host (Amy?) was really welcoming and was a wealth of Sonoma County Wine History knowledge. Wine was great (of course), had a couple tastings off-menu, and if you're tasting you get access to some rare bottle purchases (how do you say no to that). When we first arrived we took a step into the vineyards to talk about the property and history before stepping inside the hospitality center for our tasting. Can't wait to come back.

    What a welcome!

    What a first class experience! A friend of mine is a member here so she arranged a tasting for us on our recent trip. So please note this place is appointment only. It was very swanky pulling up to the gate and giving them your name to be let into the winery and vineyard. Once we arrived we were greeted by our own personal sommelier, our own personal table and even a name plate! We were told about the wines, offered an opportunity to taste a variety, and then offered a tour of the location from fermenting barrels to bottling, to labeling. Afterwards we went walking around the grounds and the vineyard. Upon our return we were given the opportunity to join the list or purchase a few bottles. This was our first stop on our trip, but I bought two bottles of Pinot Noir and I think they were the best Pinots we had the entire trip. If you want to have a tasting experience unlike any other in the area I highly recommend this winery. If you want a personalized experience then I highly recommend Williams Selyem. If you love Pinot Noir, why haven't you made an appointment yet?

    One of the best places for pinots!! Heard about this place from a coworker and after checking out the website immediately signed up for the waiting list. A few months later we received a letter and allocation, chose a few in our order and picked them up at the allocation members pickup party. 1- the pick up party is amazing!!! The people are great and there are a bunch of vendors for food and accoutrements 2- we recently went for a wine tasting with a group of friends. Scott was an amazing host, knowledgeable and took us on a nice tour of the place. It was the first tasting and al of our friends made purchases- the stuff was that good. Highly recommend if you're in healdsburg. Yes, it's a trek from the bay but it was way worth it!

    We had a hard time finding a tour to pick us up in San Francisco, take us to a variety of Napa…read morewineyards and then drop us back. We finally found Santa, who was not only the most reasonably priced but also provided good feedback when we outlined a proposed tour. We ended up with 4 vineyards that all worked out well logistically, along with time for lunch and picking up a box for our wine. Santa was entertaining and informative, and it was clear from his interactions with the various vineyard staff that he was a known character which helped us (managed to alter some times on the fly). If you want someone to pick you up in and around the area and don't have a car or driver, Santa is definitely the way to go.

    We were referred to Santa (Leonard) by our hotel staff a month before our trip. We were easily able…read moreto book a reservation with him for when we were going to be here in the Sonoma/Napa area. Since it had been 30 years since we last visited the wine country here, we asked him for recommendations on wineries in Napa that focused on great red wines and were fun to visit. He gave us three to see (Materra, Porter Family, and Sequoia Grove) and we really enjoyed all three. During our drive he was able to give us a lot of information about the Sonoma and Napa areas and explained the changes he has seen having lived here all his life. He was a great guide and my wife and I would highly recommend him as a wine tour guide if you are coming for a visit.

Not only is he professional and reliable, but his knowledge of the area is unmatched. When our plans shifted last minute, Randall arranged an incredible tasting at a beautiful vineyard we never would have discovered on our own. It ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. His connections throughout Sonoma are clearly vast -- he truly knows the best of the best when it comes to wineries and hosts. Every stop felt thoughtfully curated and special. He went above and beyond in every way and made the entire weekend seamless, fun, and completely unforgettable for me, my mom, and my sister. We couldn't recommend him more.

Randall helped us plan our trip and made great suggestions for the rest of our vacation as well as future trips. We've been going to Napa/Sonoma every year for a decade and Randall's the single best driver we've had. My only complaint is that we didn't meet him ten years ago! Randall picked up our group (4 people) in Napa, drove us to several wineries / tastings in Sonoma, had lunch with us, and drove us back. The price was reasonable considering that we took his entire day. He has great contacts with the wineries and tasting rooms as well as very good knowledge about hotels, restaurants, and other details about Napa and Sonoma.
