Budget-Friendly Wineries In Healdsburg’s Countryside

1. David Coffaro Winery

David only recently began charging a tasting fee, as his was the last winery with free wine tasting in Healdsburg. That’s because, frankly, his wines sell out almost every year. David humbly believes when you make wine well, people will simply want it. And isn’t that how winemaking is supposed to be?

David Coffaro is in Dry Creek Valley, and specializes in zinfandel, cabernet sauvignon, carignan, grenache, rose, muscat blanc, petit verdot, petite sirah, pinot noir, sangiovese, sauvignon blanc, sparkling, and red blended wines.

There’s a nice little patio area outside, and a comfortable tasting room inside. And, if you want wine with someone who truly believes what they craft is the best… be sure David Coffaro Winery on top of your reservation list.

$10 Tasting Fee · Hours: 11:am to 4:pm, Thursdays – Tuesdays (closed Wednesdays) at 7485 Dry Creek Rd.

2. Viszlay Vineyards

There’s a spot where Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley, and Chalk Hill meet. And in the cradle of these four appellations lies Viszlay Vineyards. That’s where you’ll meet John Viszlay. Rarely does someone make a transition from commercial real estate to winemaking. However, John has done so, and now runs this family owned estate winery with his son and daughter.

John’s built a new tasting patio overlooking vineyards and hills as they roll off into the distance. In this comfortable, casual setting, you can enjoy petite sirah, chardonnay, pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot, zinfandel, merlot, malbec, and blended reds. All made onsite.

$20 Tasting Fee · Hours: 11:am to 5:pm, Thursdays – Tuesdays (closed Wednesdays) at 929 Limerick Lane

Downtown Healdsburg Budget-Friendly Tasting Rooms

3. Longboard Vineyards

Imagine if a seaside surf shack washed-up along the shores of the Russian River. Okay, LongBoard’s not actually on the Russian River, but you get the idea… it’s really casual here. Like, tasting at a beach bar with a cool display of surfboards hanging overhead kinda’ chill.

Longboard serves sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, pinot noir, merlot, malbec, cabernet sauvignon, syrah, and sparkling wines. Oh, and they have wine by the glass available too.

$20 Tasting Fee · Hours: 11:am to 6:pm, Thursdays – Tuesdays (closed Wednesdays) at 5 Fitch Street.

4. Selby Winery

Susie Selby started her viticultural career driving a fork lift for a winery. Later, she opened her own winery in 1994 with her father David. And you have to say, Susie has certainly given Healdsburg’s wine scene a woman’s touch. It’s impressive how Susie can offer such affordable wine tasting, given the selections of sparkling wine she serves.

If you’re looking for a tasting room that’s a petite pearl of opulence, think Selby Winery. Selby tasting salon only specializes in sparkling wines.

$20 Tasting Fee · Hours: 11:am to 530:pm, Open Every Day at 215 Center Street
