Healdsburg is such a cute town and while it might seem much further up north, it’s only a few more minutes from Napa. I love the area for more relaxed vibes and different varieties of wines I can find at wineries there. Here are some of my favorite wineries to visit in Healdsburg:
Reeve: One of my favorite wineries for Pinot and Sangiovese! Their wines tend to be light to medium bodied, fruity but complex. I don’t typically love Pinot but love all their wines. They also serve wood fire pizza on weekends.
Lambert Bridge: They make one of my favorite Cab Francs. So smooth with depth and if you love Napa Cab Sauvignon, you will love this one! Ground is cute and the indoor tasting room set up is so cozy and worth the visit!
Amista: Believe it’s the only winery in Healdsburg that specializes in sparkling wines. They have a separate sparkling flight and a red flight that focuses on Rhone varietals and blends. I really enjoyed tasting all of their wines and some of the bottles we brought home tasted even better than I remember it to be. Definitely worth a stop!
De La Montoya: Their outdoor tasting area is super cute, surrounded by greens and the garden. They allow picnic and also sell small snack/food boxes so plenty of options for food to go with your tasting
A Rafanelli: This small family owned winery is adorable with an amazing view of the vineyard and adorable cave. They typically have ~3 wines for you to taste and purchase (Cab, Zin, Red Blend) and they are all really good. Super friendly place that makes you feel like you are visiting a friend’s place!
