Went to Bella again last week. Had a great tasting and the staff was wonderful as always!!!

I did the cave tasting. It was great for a hot day to have a cool space to do the wine tasting. I had a great hostess, and the wine was amazing and the cave was beautiful. read more

I visited Bella for my birthday with a large group of 11. We had such a great time, and absolutely loved Whitney. She was fun, knowledgeable, and really made the experience special. The wine was delicious, the caves were cool to explore, and the overall ambiance was great. We'll definitely be back! read more

Bella Vineyards & Wine Caves - Wineries Near Me - Healdsburg, California

Our favorite winery in the area. The vibe of this place is just incredibly chill and they are very flexible in tailoring their experience to you. Their wine cave has a room that can accommodate larger parties if you are hosting any type of event. I personally tend to stick with the outdoor seating since you get good views of the vines and can look out across the valley. Both times I have gone they have had a nice soundtrack in the background that is upbeat but not obnoxious. My most recent tasting had a very wide spectrum of flavors with each wine having its own unique character. We hope to come back in the summer when they do events. This place is also kid friendly which is a huge plus for us. read more

Excellent "wine tour guide/sample "person (I done know what they are called...."wineologist?). He was incredibly friendly, very professional and extremely knowledgeable. I'm not a wine drinker, but I enjoyed the samples we tasted. Definitely worth the trip from San Francisco. Would recommend. Classy vibes! read more

Bella Vineyards & Wine Caves - Ranae enjoying a fine glass of wine - Wineries Near Me - Healdsburg, California

Love the wine here! This was my 3rd time coming here for a tasting and it is still a vibe. The wine is worth the trip but the landscapes in sonoma valley are worth the trip so bring your cameras. It is nice to go with a group or a significant other so they can enjoy. The service is great; our expert was really cool and was from our neck of the woods as well! Plenty of parking but be prepared for some traffic on the 101 there and back home. Takes about an hour to do the tasting but it is good get some to go if you can as you can only buy from them directly. read more

My wife and I recently visited Bella Winery in Windsor, CA, and the experience was everything we love about wine country. The drive up is beautiful and instantly gives you that true wine-country lifestyle feeling. Bella has an approachable, welcoming vibe, and the cave tasting room -- surrounded by wine barrels and warm lighting -- is a gorgeous spot to enjoy their wines. We tasted seven wines, all very good, and while Bella really stands out for its Zinfandels, they also make a delicious Chardonnay and some very nice Pinot Noirs. We enjoyed the wines so much that we ended up purchasing a Chardonnay, a Zinfandel, and a Pinot to take home. A wonderful stop for anyone exploring Sonoma wine country. read more

I have been to Bella a number of times and have always enjoyed the experience. This time they went a step further in customer service. I had a problem with a delivery and Karen shipped me a replacement box, no question asked. read more

I'm changing my review to five stars because: Ryan the wine maker took time out of his day to educate me on the wine making process and helped me to understand the reasoning for the sediment. After speaking with him, it makes total sense. As I told him, I will be returning in the spring. The theory behind the settlement in the wine is very simple and I will agree with his assessment. The wine was delicious. It was just offputting for me not knowing better and now I do and I can't wait to go back. Thank you Ryan we will be returning in the spring for another cave experience. Loved the ambiance and the grounds. read more

Bella Vineyards & Wine Caves - Special release of the Bella essence. The only bottle left from that tasting experience. - Wineries Near Me - Healdsburg, California

We visited Bella a few days ago and received the most wonderful customer service from Candace and Whitney. They made us feel so welcome, gave us tips on the area, and really went above and beyond for our family. They were kind and welcoming and taught us all about their wines and winery. It's a beautiful spot- truly one of a kind and worth visiting. The outstanding customer service makes this even more of a must visit winery if you're in the area! read more

My friends and I went wine tasting in the cave and our host, Candice, was the absolute best! We left with a pretty healthy wine haul and voted this our favorite winery of the bunch we visited. Visit Bella, you will be glad you did. read more

We absolutely loved our visit! The ambiance and service were on point. The live music was amazing (from Andy Kong), and Whitney (our server) was extremely kind! My family and I had the perfect low key, casual wine tasting experience we were looking for and even got to pet their lovely neighbor's dog Penny. Oh and the wines were all perfect as well! read more

Bella checks off all of the boxes for a visit to a winery. Small, Cave, Great Wines at a fantastic price and amazing service. The tasting fees here if you take all of the above into consideration, are amazing value. Bella GETS IT! They know their wines speak for themselves, and if they provide reasonable tasting fees, the rest will take care of itself as the wines are fantastic. And then, there is Whitney. What a fun, enthusiastic, knowledgeable host. Whitney is wise beyond her years and has a bright future in the industry. We were fortunate enough to catch them on a slow day and had her educate and entertain us for almost 2 hours. We all loved her and walked away with a case of wine. She was also very cool and did not bat an eye when at the end of our tasting, I started calling her McKenzie by mistake. My group corrected me....Both times...It's ok..i wasn't driving, and it was the last stop and our favorite of a busy day. A few more boxes Dogs ok Outside food and picnic ok Groups ok. Love The Bella! read more

Came as a visitor and left as friends! It was a nice weekend so I was looking for a winery that was dog friendly! I stumbled along Bella and I couldn't be happier with the decision that I made! The property is absolutely gorgeous and the cave is such a neat experience! Lucy is amazing and I ended up signing up to be a member. The wine is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend a visit when in the area! read more

We came here during a girls weekend in CA. It is stunning there. I could have sat outside and looked over the ground forever. I loved that the tasting was inside a cave. It made the whole experience feel elevated and cool. All of the wines we tried during our tasting here delicious. We went to the grocery store prior to arriving for our reservation and bought a bunch of cheeses and crackers. The wines paired perfectly with all the food we bought. Our waitress was awesome with giving us information but also not lingering around about the wines and why they are so special. It is never fun visiting a vineyard that makes you feel unintelligent about wine. Luckily, Bella was the exact opposite. We had a great time and would totally go back again. read more

There is no better people or time in Healdsburg! 15+ years of authenticity and hospitality. Sorry for the belated review. Love you guys.

Beautiful location, even if you don't love wine, the views make the visit memorable. But, the wine is wonderful! Our group of five took advantage of the reservation system and had arranged a tasting outdoors on their lawn with charcuterie boxes. Alex did our tasting and he was very knowledgeable and fun. We all bought wine and will return. read more

Bella Vineyards & Wine Caves is a beautiful location in Dry Creek Valley. Its outdoor picnic area shows valley views that are unforgettable while you are drinking their award winning wines including incredible zinfandels. The family owned winery has a wonderful staff and i loved the music that played outdoors on the day I was there on weekend. The caves are always amazing to walk through, and you can do a little hike up the mountainside to see the beautiful valley views. Its a beauty. read more

Caves are cool, it's located under Lily Hill. It reminds me of the Hobbiton. Caves keep the place cool. We came on a Monday, was not at all busy, thank god! Heard it gets super packed in the summer. They let us wine taste in the caves instead of the barn. They allow dogs. The staff was super knowledgeable and outgoing. He knew his stuff very well. The tasting itself is super overpriced at $25. Buy 2 bottles and 1 tasting is waived. We bought 2 bottles- we enjoyed the Lily Hill and another red... forgot which one. read more

Bella was recommended to me by a dear friend, who has been drinking their wines for over a decade, as a great place to take out of town visitors. Fast forward to today, and I've taken multiple groups of people up there over the years- including friends, family, and even coworkers, all of whom loved the ambiance (a legit wine cave!) and the wines themselves. Bella's wines are fairly priced and very good quality, and the winery is a super intimate experience. I actually just signed up as a wine club member the other day, as I've been going for years and it's about time. I'll be taking my parents to one of their events in the near future, and I'm sure I'll be visiting them even more now that I'm a member. Only con is that there's no food really, even for purchase, so plan your trip accordingly to make sure you either have snacks or aren't hungry. Also- they allow up to 6 guests for complimentary tastings, and most places are 4, so that's pretty nice in its own right if you have a bunch of vino friends. Do yourself a favor and get up to visit Bella! read more

Recently visited with my husband and our puppy and we really enjoyed our time here. Andrew was our host and he was very welcoming, knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. He provided great service and our puppy loved him too (and his treats lol). This place is dog friendly :) They have a nice lawn seating area but they are welcome inside the cave too. I was able to get reservations for tastings on the same day that we visited. it was $30 per person for 6 tastings. All the wines we tasted were great and we ended up leaving with a bottle of the Lily Hill Zinfandel which was our favorite out of the 6 tastings. This was our first visit in Healdsburg and I'm glad we got to stop by here. We will definitely come back! read more

What's to say other than...Phenomenal wine country experience! Alex and staff are super friendly, knowledgeable along with tales to keep you entertained. Gorgeous vineyard and picnic grounds. Take a hike up the trail and take in the views of Dry Creek Valley. The cave experience and wine just put the proverbial cherry on top. Awesome! A true favorite. read more

Awesome family friendly winery. Beautiful location, awesome service. Wines are really great.

We definitely got the royal treatment. Ryan did our tasting & we got to learn so much about how the wines were made & about the winery itself. They put a lot of love into what they do. I've done two tastings with Bella and the wines are really nice. Our group of 6 all LOVED the Essence 2022. We tried Ten Acres Pinot Noir and a few different Zinfandel. All the wines were tasty. The whole party had such a great experience chatting with Ryan and learning about the process. Highly recommend visiting the winery. They are kid friendly too. read more

A wonderful evening to re-engage with the great outdoors - Bella's wine and pizza pairing is highly recommended!

We got there as soon as they opened on a busy weekend, we didn't know we needed reservations until the night before, so we hoped they had space for walk ins. Thankfully we got the last spot left that morning, and we were so grateful! They sat us next to the live musician, which we loved, and the man who served our wine was so knowledgeable about the area, the stories behind the wine, we really enjoyed the service! Everyone was so kind! The wine was very good, the cave was such a different experience wine tasting, we really enjoyed this place! Would definitely come back! read more

Absolutely deserves 5+ stars.... I wanted to take my sister somewhere special for her birthday and I'm so glad I found Bella winery on yelp. It was really easy to book over the phone the lady was really sweet and helpful. We pulled up into the parking lot and to our surprise we could hear live music. The musician Sebastian was part of a band called highway poets (check them out)..... he was so good I shedded a few tears of happiness. Such a good mix Americana, Rock, Blues, Soul. He even threw in a little R&B (no diggity) with his own twist. There were table and chair set up safe distancing apart under the trees for nice shade and larger picnic tables near the cave under beautiful trees. We came on the perfect day because it was warm and there was a nice breeze. They set it up so thoughtful with a sign saying happy birthday to my sissy and a vase with handpicked fresh lavender (smelt delish) Our host was Alex he was very friendly and knowledgeable. My sister and I are still learning about wine and all the details with the process behind the scenes. Alex took time telling us a little about the owners of the vineyards and there lovely 3 daughters and there beautiful story. Alex also explained to us about the process of the wine and how magical the land that the grapes are grow on and the process of making the wine. It was awesome we learned a lot. The wine was sooooooo yummy. Alex made sure he checked on us when our glasses were empty and explained each wine in great detail. The food was delicious they served fried chicken with a a salad that had the most delicious peaches and a biscuit with honey butter (sooooooo good) They ended the meal with a raspberry milkshake for a treat. The entire staff was so lovely. Will definitely go back to try out there pizza night with live music under the stars. Note it's first 3 Friday's out of the month to enjoy wine pizza and live music During these challenging times it's places like this that make things a little easier :) read more

Oh Bella, Bella! You started off as an unplanned visit on our wine tasting journey, and ended up being one of the favorites! While wine tasting in Dry Creek, we decided to stop by Bella Vineyards since we thought it was a winery that was listed as a participant on our wine walk. Unfortunately, we found out that it wasn't, but we decided to stay and do a tasting anyways. And boy, I'm SO glad we did because we ended up having an amazing time here! When you first enter the estate, you'll drive up a small hill that will take you to their main tasting room. The views from the hill alone are just gorgeous! There's a stunning view of their Vineyards just right outside of their parking lot! The front yard has benches and a few games for the kids. They have a small tasting room near the entrance where you can taste and socialize. But the real kicker here is their stunning wine cave! We opted to do the tour of the wine cave which is included in the tasting. The cave is huge! I've been to a few caves before, but they actually conduct tastings in this cave! The whole setup is super fun! There's about 5 or 6 different stations where you can stop off and sample their wines. They have a beautiful room that can be reserved for members or for private tastings right in the cave! The wines are absolutely delicious! They specialize mainly in red wines which is a plus for me because I'm an avid red wine drinker. So let me tell you about them wines, Boo! Tastyyyy! We sampled 6 wines for $15. They waive the tasting fee with a purchase of two bottles. Their 2015 Late Harvest Zinfandel just... did something to me. It was fruity, spicy, fuller bodied... so NOT me, but so delicious! I'd have to say that this was my fave! I probably would have bought this bottle, but we had bought so many already from a few of the other wineries. I also adored their Ten Acre Pinot Noir! It was smoooooth sailing with that one! I'm a Pinot girl at heart, so this wine was just icing on the cake. When we made it to the end of the cave, they showered us with some delicious chocolate! Mmmm, wine and chocolate?! A match MADE! They also had us pick a mystery prize out of their prize bowl, and we ended up getting a free tasting during our next visit! Woo hoo! I can't forget to point out all of the AMAZING staff that we encountered while we were there! Rene, Bob, and John were all excellent! Everyone was super friendly and accommodating! We came super late and pretty close to closing time, but they didn't rush us at all. I will definitely come back here again to do another tasting! Gotta put that free complementary tasting prize to good use! read more

I discovered this winery a few years ago, a hidden Jem, located at the very end of Dry Creek Rd in Healdsburg! Such beautiful Valley what a scenic drive! I own a small Lemo service in Napa and I find my clients visiting this area more, and more. Trending for sure some people like to refer to Healdsburg as the new Napa! This winery is rustic and next to a gorgeous terraced hillside Vineyard! Bring your camera!!. The cave experience is intimate very fun'. The Sauv blanc was tasty, great Chardonnay' Oh and I love the Growler nice!! Great spot Andre/Executive Car Service Napa Valley read more

I was told to hit up Bella while driving through Hearldsburg. Dropped by ( they are at the end of the road! LOL ) on a Monday...they suggest reservations...but called at the gate and said COME ON UP! I was greeted with open arms and clean glasses! They specialize in Zins. They seriously have a ZIN for everyone. Many great wineries...but you need to plan on this "destination" winery. Choose great wine, many choices and GREAT people. read more

Recommend visiting - the tasting was inside the cave. Wonderfully decorated. The staff was friendly and presented a great experience! They are reservation only, but thankfully they were able to fit the 2 of us in today - called ahead. I recommend calling ahead, even several days before your trip to get a time. During the week is less crowded, so call even earlier for a weekend timeslots. Give yourself a few extra minutes to get there bc it's a narrow road, but the views are absolutely gorgeous and so worth it. Beautiful dry creek drive along the way. Clean, nice restrooms. Beautiful grounds and the desert wine experience w/ late harvest & chocolates was wonderful! read more

Best experience and amazing wine... The views are amazing and the yard area is filled with 150 year old olive trees that were moved there. Just breathtaking! $15 a person for wine tasting and you can put that towards a purchase of 2 bottle of wine at the end. You start in the barn for your 1st tasting then you go into the cave for the rest. The cave has these massive old doors and the 1st part of the room is filled with a large dining table and greenery with lights on the ceiling. They have a nice small retail area with a bar for serving your other tastings. They have a wine club so folks were coming by picking up their wine. Ahhhh so lucky. Also, we missed the note about bringing picnic foods as people were sitting on the lawn and picnic tables with really nice spreads of cheese, meats and breads. So be sure to hit Trader Joe's or Olivers before you arrive. A must stop when in Sonoma! This Winery is a true treasure! read more

There is a FOUR month waitlist to get in DA club. Seriously, there was a disco ball hanging from the ceiling, found out it was from the previous evening's events. Members get not only the typical discounts, but have their own separate tasting area. Well, at least we got a taste of the lovely grape juice in the caves. If you don't believe me just check out all the wine spectator points. Excellent staff, look for Tony, he's a treat. read more

A beautiful little gem, Bella Vineyards and Wine Caves exceeded expectations that makes it worth visiting. During a recent outing in the area, my friends and I were looking for a winery not too far from Francis Ford Coppola. Given the good reviews, we ventured out here not expecting much but definitely were glad we made the trip. What made the experience so enjoyable was the pretty interesting set up of the wine tasting. While most require you to pretty much sit in one place as you rotate through a variety of wines, Bella Vineyards encourages the customers to walk around the grounds. The walk takes you from the outdoors into the caves where barrels of their wines are kept for aging. At the end, for their last wine tasting, they had customers pair it with a beautiful dark chocolate peanut butter cup with a jam made from the Syrah. OMG! It was amazing. Priced at $20 for six wines, it is definitely not a bad deal and if you end up buying a bottle, the tasting fee is waived. In addition to the walking tour, there was also plenty of outdoor seating areas for people to just lounge and enjoy. An ideal afternoon could easily be spent by bringing out a picnic with friends and pairing it with a nice wine. Bella Vineyards is a beautiful winery with a unique walkabout tasting that is both unique and interactive. read more

it's our 40th anniversary and we wanted to do a little COVID safe getaway. We reserved the "Hike the Hill" at 1045am. Spent about 40 minutes walking up the vineyards to a redwood grove with beautiful views of the valley. When we returned we enjoyed a wonderful box of goodies and 5 delicious wines to taste( plus a surprise Ice Cream sandwich paired with a late zin dessert wine) It was $40 per person and we felt it was worth it. Alex and Garret and all of the hosts were very nice. The setting is gorgeous and the tables were well spaced apart. It was fun to buy their delicious Sauvignon blanc in a growler to give as a gift to friends. Their Pinot and Zins are very good! We highly recommend Bella! read more

Bella Vineyards & Wine Caves - The wonderful box we enjoyed! - Wineries Near Me - Healdsburg, California

I'm almost sour as to why we didn't come here sooner. Healdsburg have some really pretty vineyards most of which are family run and owned but this is particularly special cause one could feel being right at home. They produce small batches mostly and feature some if the award winning wines. Their specialty are zins and produce 16 zins throughout the year. The grounds and lawns are beautiful and one could easily spend an entire day here with friends and family. I would recommend bringing a picnic, grabbing a bottle and enjoy the sunshine! read more
