Healdsburg Wineries make the region a unique destination of its own kind and the area is lined with restaurants, boutiques and wine tasting rooms. Actually, tasting opportunities within the town are enough and you don't have to keep driving outside the town to enjoy the fulfilling action of wine sipping. Some of the most notable wineries in Healdsburg are highlighted here below:
J Vineyards & Winery is my first pick. J Vineyards & Winery is a bit different from other wineries in the country. Their production process starts at the very soil that they grapes are planted. With the special skills of Judy Jordan, it is able to grasp the importance of geology, climate conditions, clone, soil, and rootstock in forming different blends of wine. It is steadily improving and that progress can be seen by locals as well as those who come back there. Melissa Stackhouse, the main wine maker, has brought them to great heights in producing the best quality of wine, with an immense knowledge of Russian Rover Valley. Because of this, the techniques that they use in wine making has reflected into an more refined and unique taste.
Second is Quivira Vineyards & Winery. When you ask the team involved with wine making at Quivira Vineyards & Winery about their philosophy, you might receive some fairly unconventional answers. Here, Huge Chappelle is not just regarded as the winemaker as you would expect in other Healdsburg wineries but he is actually the 'winegrower'. The winery has been selling its wine products by claiming that they are not involved in wine making but actually growth the wine. The winery commits itself to biodynamic farming and when you taste their wine varieties, you can note the purity and vibrancy on the pure wine they make.
Hop kiln winery is a place that you will surely not want to miss and if it is not for wine tasting, you will be amazed by the historic structure. Besides their lovely wines, Hop Kiln winery also a wide selections of other food varieties as well as condiments like the fabulous fig vinegar. Your wine tasting experience is combined with wonderful meat assortments, bread and cheeses that explain why Healdsburg wineries also make a great destination for picnic. Their wine is the best and has a friendly staff and you will definitely want to try the unbelievably priced Zin and Big red.
A personal is Ridge Lytton Springs Vineyards. With the use of environmental sound techniques and materials, Ridge Lytton Springs are best described to be one the promoter of organic wine making practices. Instead of using cultured yeast strains, they employ native yeasts that are grown right in their estate and use it to ferment the grapes. Selection of color, tannins and flavor is also done without the help of commercial enzymes and in effect, has developed the classic flavor in all their wines.
Seghesio Family Vineyards is one of the most popular wine estates in the Healdsburg region. Starting from being a modest wine producer and has consistently developed into a juggernaut that it is now, most specifically in producing Zinfadels in the whole of California. There are five type of Zinfadels that they carry, which are Sonoma County Old Vine, the lone estate at Cortia, San Lorenzo and Home Ranch and its Sonoma County wine bottling.
