Go! And book the cheese pairing. First off the owner, Nicole, is beyond friendly. She gave us the history which is so interesting. I loved that they pour the flight all at once and left us alone for a bit to enjoy at our own pace. We sat outside under the shade and such a quiet atmosphere. read more

Smaller but cozy tasting room. We had the attention of two sommeliers who were very knowledgeable about their grapes which they had samples at the table. We tasted not only the wines but the grapes as well! I prefer the wine. read more

My brother made reservations while we were going to a few wineries in the area. The day we went was a tad rainy but the weather made the experience more special. We were greeted by a cute grey tabby while we waited for our table. Once seated we were welcomed with delicious wines and great ambience. Slowly other wine tasters left and our group was the last. Super charming and personalable winery. Not to mention the wine will blow your socks off. Highly recommend! read more

Nicole and Katy are amazing! Family owned and operated and it's just a wonderful spot and the wines.....well they speak for themselves! We loved the 100% Zin and Petite Sirah and then they do a 50/50 blend of zin and petite sirah that is off the charts and it's called Fondare! Their 2022 Rose of Pinot Noir was my favorite Rose from any Vineyard this year by far! The essence of strawberry when it's poured was delightful! And got to try their Goddard Pinot today for the first time and loved that too!!! Just so many delicious wines to choose from and as I said Nicole and Katy are so nice to spend your afternoon with them both! Oh and don't forget their resident cat, Leo, who we love!!! He comes and says hello and if we ask real nice he may join your tasting!! lol read more

Superb wines (the estate Chardonnay and Zinfandel were our favs)! It's a beautiful, calming spot with sweet people manning the desk. If you are looking for a quiet, laid back spot to enjoy fantastic wines, this spot is it!! read more

Quaint tasting room with a great wine host and beautiful vineyards. We enjoyed our tasting and ended up buying some port. Inside and outside seating. The wines all tasted good. They produce a small portion of wine compared to the amount of grapes they provide other wineries. So interesting. read more

Solid wines from a 3-generation winery. Elegant Chardonnays, but the sleeper here is the small-production petit Syrah read more

Bacigalupi Vineyards - Back Zinfandel - Wineries Near Me - Healdsburg, California

Lovely service. Great to picnic. Dog friendly. It was fun tasting the actual grapes at the table. Nice Sauv Blanc.

This a beautiful tucked away winery, beautiful views and peace atmosphere. First time wine tasting at this location my favorite was the the 2017 Pinot Noir but I should say that all of their wines have a distinct taste. The Petite Zirah was very good as well, customer service is excellent and I do believe one can stop by and buy a bottle of wine and sit outside and enjoy a picnic but they do offer a board with cold cuts n nuts (Baci Board) the winery's atmosphere is very inviting. I will most definitely come back when the weather is nicer a do another tasting and hopefully I will see the twins next time. Highly recommend this winery out in the West Side Rd area. read more

Located on westside road, we found bacigalupi vineyard by going to the source of the grapes for many of our favorite wines. The Bacigalupis are farmers who now make their own wines. And the wines are delicious! Katey and Nicole are twin sister's who now run their winery. All of their wines are very good, from the rose of zinfandel, rose of pinot noir, chardonnay, pinot noirs, zinfandel, petite syrah, or Fondare (blend of petite syrah and zinfandel). Yum! Definitely a fun stop for us, especially as we became wine club members a few years ago. This year, we were able to attend their pinot and paella event! What a blast! read more

We decided to take some friends up to dry creek area to one our favorite family wineries ~ Bacigalupi. The plan was to taste some wonderful wines and picnic at a local park. Well. It was a beautiful autumn day spent outside wine tasting with appropriate social distancing. Definitely felt like being in freinds backyard sampling the varietals. Good conversation, good glasses of rose white and red wines. Katie and Nicole provided great stories on the history of vineyard ~ both informative and humorous. read more

Though a Chardonnay fan, I liked all their reds better and their port was amazing, bought a bottle to go. The woman assisting us was lovely - knowledgeable and friendly. Quiet little spot that was very enjoyable. read more

I have wanted to go here for a long time - very famous family name here in the valley. Very understated grounds and tasting room but no surprise, the wines were very good. As long time grape growers, surely they save the best for themselves!?! We loved their Rose of Zinfandel - and brought a couple bottles home . Perfect for this hot weather. Also enjoyed the two Pinot's we tried - the 2014 Bacigalupi and the 2014 Frost Ranch - both a bit pricey for my wallet but probably well worth it for the more serious wine collector. thanks to Rachel and Nicole, our servers - for their attentiveness. A must stop when you are in the area! read more

We've visited Bacigalupi several times now and count it as one of our top favorites! The wines are delicious, high quality creations. Renouvous and the Russian River Chardonnays are consistently our favorite, and the Goddard Pinot Noir and Petite Sirah are killer year after year! Katey and Nicole Bacigalupi are wonderful hostesses even though they actually manage the operation. The tasting is done outside -weather permitting- under aged-old oaks with views of the vineyards and farm. I can't brag enough about Bacigalupi! Google Helen and Charles to get the wonderful story! read more

I came here because these are the same people that nurture the Bacigalupi vineyard. I've enjoyed 2007 and 2008 zinfandels from William Selyem that sourced from Bacigalupi. John Tyler Wines are much better vineyard managers than winemakers. The tasting room is very comfortable and the pourers bring their dog (see pic) that clearly has run of the house. The room is accessed through a short gravel road that runs along a pretty creek. The tasting fee is $10 which $5 is waived for one bottle and $10 for two bottles purchased. read more

Delicious wines. Several made from legendary Bacigalupi vineyard grapes. Tasting fee is $15. Waived when you buy 2 bottles. Prices start at $30 for the rose' and go northward. Small tasting room, don't bring a minibus with 30 people. Nice people. Dog friendly. read more

4 stars for Petit Syrah and Chardonnay. Atmosphere is cozy. We had 10 in our group and had made reservations so sat outside. Not busy so that was nice. Pam Bacigalupi helped us at first and she was fantastic- we learned a lot. Unfortunately we got handed over to Sydney, probably Napa would be a better fit for her demeanor. The star deduction is for 2 things- very small pours to taste wines (1 oz is standard but these were more like 2 sips) and after the group ordered over $1200 in wine, they would not comp the tasting fees which is pretty standard throughout Napa, Sonoma and beyond. It left us all disappointed. We would not return. read more

OH my god, I am IN LOVE. I had never heard of these wines nor tried any of these wines but the friendly hostess down the road at Twomey recommended we stop by. I am SO GLAD we did. This is a small and unassuming tasting room with really friendly and welcoming employees. The bar was standing room only but we were quickly greeted and well taken care of. The wines are INSANELY amazing and fairly priced. A reserve tasting is $20 and they will refund half of your tasting fee if you purchase a few bottles -- I don't like this new trend of not refunding your tasting fee with purchase, but at least you get $10 back. I'd give this place 5 stars if they'd refund the entire fee if you buy something. But nonetheless, I came away a new fan and a new wine club member. John Tyler wines ROCK! read more

So disappointing ! Host was much more interested in the party next to ya from Macrostie Did not explain the wines or cineyarsa

We stepped in without an appointment and they welcomed us in. I have enjoyed several wines sourced from the Bacigalupi family so we thought it time to visit the source. I'm so glad we did because the wine was fantastic. They were down to their last few cases of Rose so should have been a priority. However, the Chardonnay was so good it made me wonder if it was comparable to Montelana's winner vs the French in 1976, in which Bacigalupi was the primary source. Rachael was assisting us and Nicole helped because we're a needy group, but hopefully everyone had fun. We even talked about beer of all things. read more

Bacigalupi Vineyards - Wineries Near Me - Healdsburg, California

My husband and I came to Bacigalupi Vineyards because of the rich family history and legacy that has been built through their many years of farming. If you visit other wineries throughout Sonoma and Napa counties, you will see the Bacigalupi name often as they sell to countless other wineries in the area. We just had to taste the wine at the source! We were blown away by the wines, Zinfandel definitely being our favorite but also pleasantly surprised by the delicious Chardonnay (and we aren't even white wine lovers)! The Pinot Noir and Petite Sirah were equally as fabulous and we fell in love with their new Fondare which they were featuring as an additional tasting when we went in. In addition to the delicious wine, the customer service was fantastic. It was so cool to be able to interact with the actual Bacigalupi family, as they are third generation family owned and are often in the tasting room. We loved hearing their story, and how they have grown since the 50's. Their production is really small (under 1000 cases total) which to us, made the wine that much more special and knowing that quality is what is important to the Bacigalupi's and not the quantity. I definitely recommend visiting their tasting room next time you are in Healdsburg! Not only is Westside Rd. absolutely gorgeous, but the wine and customer service at Bacigalupi Vineyards is top notch! read more

Bacigalupi family heritage with fine Pinot Noirs. $10 tasting lowered to $5 when you buy wine. Try it, if you prefer Pinot Noirs and light Zins. I don't. read more

Bacigalupi Vineyards - Same varietal, different blocks of the vineyards - Wineries Near Me - Healdsburg, California

Had a blast visiting this winery for their first ever PREVIEW DAY!! I had a chance to do a vertical sampling of their Burgundy style pinots and spicy zins!! For me, the zins hit the spot. We had the luxury of listening to the croaking frogs outside their brand spanking new tasting room. But the best part was chatting it up with our twin hosts, Katey and Nicole!! Delicious wine, entertaining company, and best of all TWINS!! read more

While visiting Arista winery, one of their staff told us to check out John Tyler's tasting room which had just opened. I had also tasted a wine made from the Bacigalupi family at the Graton Ridge Winery. We were given complimentary tasting card from the Hop Kiln people. Arriving at the tasting room, Katie Bacigalupi warmly greeted us and set out a vertical tasting, one for 2004 and 2006 pinot noir and zinfandel. Delicious! It's easy to see why other wineries are buying their grapes to make great wine. And so do the Bacigalupi family. So now that I've established the staff is great as is the wine, there is one downside. The vertical tasting is $20 per person. Waived I'm sure if you buy wine. Their delicious wines go for $50 -60 per bottle. Worth it, I'm sure, but not a casual purchase for me. read more

I visited here to get photos and video to add to our iPhone app and the place was jumping and for good reason. The vibe here is relaxed and fun and the wines are excellent. Look for them to release a Petite Syrah in the Fall but don't wait. Their Pinot Noir and Zinfandel are more than worth the visit. read more

This was a quiet oasis in the middle of a crazy day of wine tasting. The one woman who worked here was nice and knowledgeable. I liked the quaint nature of the setting here. She poured all 4 wines at once, and you got to compare the zins and pinots by year, tasting the subtle differences between each one. For me, it was a unique way to taste and I really enjoyed it. She also provided some great restaurant recommendations that we utilized as well. This is a place well worth visiting! read more

Cool family-run winery that sources some of the top grapes in the Dry Creek. You will see it as the vineyard on a number of labels. They started shipping with their own name in recent years and it was quite nice. read more

We had a blast at this winery. We ended up taking home the petit syrah, 2010 zin and 2012 zin. We will be back for the whites and rose harvest! read more

Love the Zinfandel and Port!! I love the intimate setting and beautiful scenery. For the tasting, you get 5 at a reasonable price.

I had to review this place again. Great Pinot Noir, Zin. We were here a year ago on our annual wine trip THIS WAS THE ONLY WINERY WE HAD TO VISIT AGAIN. Everyone in our group agreed this was the best wine and most friendly staff of the 20 wineries we visited that trip. YES 20! We do this every year and cant wait to restock our cellar here next year. If you want older, perfectly aged wines that are ready to drink, Check this place out. They even make a killer petite syrah. Im not suprised a family thats been in the biz for 5 generations might have this nailed down. Good job. I dare you to visit and NOT fall in love with the Bacigalpi girls. Also, dog friendly...bring your pooch-WE DID. See you next year, or sooner :) read more

So upset and disappointed that I came here even though it was recommended to me. They don't accept to industry which is a bit disappointing. We ordered 2 tastings and a cheese board. Before the board was made we asked what kind of cheeses were served since my friend is lactose. Most of them dairy cheese so we canceled it. Then they present a cheese board 10 minutes later. How do you not understand we don't want it? It's a slow location and there's only 2 groups (us and one other) takes over 10 minutes to pour our next tasting. This is unacceptable in so many ways. Will not be back and disappointed in the service even though another winery recommended it. read more

Tasting was $15 for 4-5 wines and they are known for their reds. No comp for purchase so we passed on a bottle as nothing blew us away and they were all in that $40-50 range. read more

I love this winery. My husband and I have come here twice now and love their Chardonnay and Pinot Noirs. Katey and Nicole are easy going and let you enjoy your wine with some good conversation. This is one of our go-to wineries every time we are in Healdsburg. read more

The wine is very good and unique to the valley. I love the soft finish to the wine and the buttery Chardonnays. The only reason why I gave it a 4 star is because it is very pricey. read more

Katey and Nicole are amazing - probably the nicest tasting room hostesses I've ever met. We heard about this place while tasting at Arista...and several hours later we were so happy with our experience at John Tyler that we joined the wine club! They actually make a Chardonnay that I like (shocker) and the Pinots/Zins are always great. Cute little spot. read more

Visited 10/17 with high expectations. Hostess Katie was very nice but the wines were lacking. Some zins were hot (high alcohol), some had that pruny taste. Just OK here. read more

Raised my review up a couple stars to recommend them from a customer service standpoint. From a wine quality standpoint, I'd still only give them 84 points. read more

Came here on a recommendation from the guys at Hop Kiln. Good pinots (04 and 06) and zins (04 and 06) although we didn't buy anything (although we wish we had). The vertical tasting is a nice touch. Also, the staff is incredible. Super personable and funny to boot! Wish I lived in Healdsburg. I'd visit this place often. read more

Nice little tasting room and very friendly staff. Definitely worth a stop out in this neck of the woods. We bought the 2006 Pinot and 2006 Zin. read more

It's getting harder and harder to find authentic family owned wineries focused on fruit and great wine. The owner and daughter greated you during this informal but well executed tasting. The Fondare and Zinfandel were rich with multiple layers. Production is less than 1,000 cases leaving you little to no chance to grab this great wines anywhere but the winery. read more
