By Philip Vonwrede


With tons of things that one can do in Healdsburg Wineries, it is definitely one exceptional place for one to visit. This great wine region features a lot of boutiques, diverse cuisine and most notably, tasting rooms. The tasting rooms are more than sufficient for almost everyone that they won't have to drive far just to fill their day. Here are some of the best wineries in Healdsburg:

The first winery is J Vineyards & Winery. When it comes to wine production at J Vineyards & Winery, theirs start of with the soil. The expertise of Judy Jordan's in understanding geology and continuous interaction with climate, soil, clone and rootstock keeps J Vineyards & Winery a step ahead among Healdsburg Wineries. The winery prides itself as being the experts in wine making and guarantees continuous improvement to ensure that they offer the best. Melissa Stackhouse is the head wine maker here and has a great understanding of Russian Rover Valley and ensures that the winery produces the best wine and the techniques and methods applied here deliver an awesome combination of elegance, varietal expression and complete balance.

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.

Just for its historical structure and great personnel, Hop Kiln Wineries is surely a favorite in Healdsburg. If that does not entice you enough, it carries a variety of wine blends including the reasonably priced Zin and Big red and a lot more. Furthermore, visitors can also regale on the diverse cuisine and delicacies that one can try especially their excellent fig vinegar, meat slices, bread and cheeses. This will definitely be the highlight of your day, especially if you have a picnic while sipping their wine.

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.
