My wife and I had such a great experience this past weekend at Comstock Wines. Erik Ortiz was so friendly and knowledgeable, he gave us a tour and we learned a lot about the wine making process. We are so looking forward to returning in the near future! Peter & Adrienne Byrne read more

Amazing vibe! It was so gorgeous and Candie was such a delight to have and host. She knew the vibe of our group and matched our energy. We all ended up buying 2 bottles each in our group because they had a wine for everyone! read more

Had an amazing experience here! The service was outstanding and the wine selection was excellent every pour was top-notch. I went on a weekday, so it was mellow and relaxing, which made it even better. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the visit really enjoyable. My favorite was the 2022 Grenache absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this spot if you're in Healdsburg. read more

Comstock Wines - Wineries Near Me - Healdsburg, California

In the industry in Napa and Sonoma since 1978, this place is very consumer unfriendly. Its wines are mediocre by international standards (see Wine Spectator ratings, e.g.), prices are 150 percent than retail for their same produce, and staff is insufferable. My wife, son and I hold doctoral degrees from Stanford, Georgetown and Vanderbilt, and the blabbering staff treats us like shit not once, but three times over the last three years. read more

Exactly what we were looking for. We wanted wine tasting that came with a charcuterie board. On there website they said you have to give 48 hours for food. We took our change. We arrived on a Saturday at 10:30am when they opened, when we arrived they were still setting up. We were greeted warmly and were offered some sparking wine. According to my husband it was top notch and he's not a sparkling wine kind of guy. We were asked if we had a reservation and we said no and they said it wasn't an issue. We could still do a tasting. First we walked around the property and took some pictures. Unfortunately my husband blinked in the picture of us. Next time I'll check the picture before we leave and take a few. The ground was damp as it rained earlier that morning. We opted to sit inside. Due to we didn't have a reservation we were offered to sit at the bar. That was a good place to sit as you get more attention when you're at the bar. It was nice to sit inside too as it was warmer, we were offered seats outside too. They have a bocce ball court. We planned on playing when we finished the tasting, but the rain returned raining our fun out. Next time. We asked if we could get a charcuterie board. He said they have a Messa board and said we could get one. Yea!!! That made my day as that was the reason we picked this winery. We were also recommend this winery from my husband's sister when we said we wanted a winery with a charcuterie board. This was the perfect place to come. It was Gorgeous. Service was impeccable. They did seem understaffed and were running around a bit, but we got great attention as we were sitting at the bar. My husband ordered a flight and was educated on the wines. Just in case you were wondering. You can't order wine by the glass and you can't open a bottle on site. They only offer flights. This is what we wanted so it was perfect for us. I highly recommend this winery. read more

This is a lovely winery with amazing local wines and delicious food! Montage recommended us and made a reservation for us. They have a nice rose and a delightful Blanc de Blanc. Their 2016 Cabernet is highly drinkable with a rich and noble berries finish. The staff is super helpful and very accommodating. read more

Don't mind me, just casually in love with Comstock Wines. Upon arriving and walking through the breezeway towards the outdoor tasting grounds, I could tell I was gonna like the vibe here, and that was before the welcome pour of bubbles! We headed into the tasting room to check in to taste, we didn't have a reservation but they were happy to accommodate us. As mentioned, we were given a welcome pour of bubbly, my mom doesn't like bubbles and didn't plan to taste, but she was still given a welcome pour of her choice of two different white wines they had open! We went outside and picked where we wanted to sit, then were given the run down and tasting options by our tasting associate, Jason. We then enjoyed our welcome pours while deciding what to do. Though I typically go for the mixed flight option, their red flight wines were really speaking to me, and I'm glad I listened. Glasses were brought out then wines were brought out 2 at a time. I enjoyed learning about the grapes, where they came from, and everything else that was shared with us. Jason was extremely knowledgeable and fun to chat with. The property was spectacular. It was well maintained, the views were beautiful, and I loved that you were able to walk around to really experience it. I ended up going home with 3 bottles of wine, one of which has already been consumed before writing this review. Highly recommend Comstock if you want good wine in a beautiful setting, and with great service. read more

Stunning property! Delicious wine! Friendly service! What a perfect day out with friends - we felt transported to Europe! We made a reservation in advance and braved the 100+ degree heat on Saturday for an outdoor wine tasting. We were rewarded with a table in the shade and a quiet-ish setting (the heat scared everyone away). The servers brought us ice and water, and all of the wines poured were appropriately chilled. Two of us opted for the Zinfandel flight and two for the Classic flight. Our friends are members so the 4 tastings were complimentary as part of their membership. We also ordered 2 of their tasty cheese & charcuterie boards - highly recommend! They make pizza and offer other food options on certain days - inquire when you call to make a reservation. We bought a case of Zins and look forward to returning! read more

There are over 400 wineries in the Napa and Sonoma region, so picking the best ones to visit is no easy task! Fortunately, a friend suggested this one to us and I'm so glad they did! It was a bit of a drive from our hotel in Sonoma, but it was totally worth the trip. When you pull up to the building it doesn't grab your attention, but then we stepped through the building to the tasting area and were blown away. The table in the tasting area are situated right at the edge of the vineyard, with a scenic view of the surrounding hills behind them. We had ordered the mezze package, so we each received a beautiful charcuterie platter to accompany our tasting. The wine was served at a very relaxing and enjoyable pace. Our server, Jason, was incredibly friendly and happy to answer all of our questions. He truly enhanced our experience! We ordered several bottles to have shipped back home, so we'll have great reminders of this wonderful experience for many months to come! read more

Just went here with a group of friends and family for a wine and mezze tasting. It was so lovely! We went on a Monday so we were the only group there. Our server, Nick, was super kind, patient and knowledgeable. He answered all our questions (and we had many questions). The wines were all fantastic but the Sauvignon blanc, Pinot noir and Cabernet Sauvignon were the groups favorites. The mezze platter was also very delicious and went well with the wines. Lastly, the scenery was absolutely gorgeous! Such great photo ops here read more

This is my absolute favorite place to go in Sonoma County for wine tasting and food pairing. First off, the location in the Dry Creek Valley is so scenic. It's not far off the 101 near Healdsburg, but feels so remote and perfect. You are basically sitting on the edge of the vineyard, with beautiful rolling hills. We were greeted by Jason with a sparkling wine and then had a tasting with a mezzo plate which was perfect. The wines are amazing here, as is the food, but what shines even more is the people. Jason was so personable and knowledge. He is so passionate about wine, the area, and ensuring that guests have a wonderful experience. This was my second time for a girls weekend and we will return again. Definitely a "happy place" for us. read more

We had such a wonderful meal... The Wine and Woodfire special lunch. The foods were diverse, rich, and satisfying. The wines were perfectly matched. Our wine educator, Nick, was dedicated to teaching us about Comstock, the history of the winery, the varietals, and what to expect. The outdoor seating gave us a sweeping view of the Dry Creek awash in sunlight. We fantasized about gathering our closest friends and renting the big house they offer by the night, out in the midst of vineyards. Comstock has other dining options, good with pairings, and worth the quiet getaway just the "other side of the freeway" from the hustle and bustle of what used to be sleepy l'il Healdsburg. read more

It was a last-minute decision to drop by Comstock on our drive through the Dry Creek area, but we're absolutely thrilled we stopped in! Eric was amazing! He's in wine school right now (my terminology, not his...haha!) and he took the time to teach us so much about wine. Yet he periodically asked us if we wanted to know more, which I appreciated, since there are times we don't like a lot of talking. But Eric was so knowledgeable, we were eager to learn. We ended up buying a bottle of the 2020 Petite Syrah Locavore Vineyard. We've been back home for 2 weeks and just opened it last night. It was even better than I remembered at the tasting! My take on Comstock? Excellent wine. Beautiful scenery. Exceptional, friendly staff. Loved it!!! read more

This was one of my favorite wineries while I was out in California. We had an earlier reservation and were for a while the only guests. We were welcomed with sparkling wine and seated outside near the vineyard and were able to enjoy the weather without being in the sun. We did the grilled cheese wine pairing and it was fantastic. With each glass of wine we had essentially half a grilled cheese to pair with it--a sauvignon blanc w/ tuna melt, chardonnay w/ ham and cheese, pinot noir w/ bacon grilled cheese and tomato soup shooter, and zinfandel w/ a reuben. The pairings were great together of course and I think my only complaint was that it was a lot of food. You could theoretically do one grilled cheese pairing and regular pairing and then split each sandwich with another person. The wines were delicious but more so the experience was amazing. It also helped that the host was very outgoing and personable without being overbearing. I highly recommend a visit here for a wine tasting if not grilled cheese pairing. They also had a pizza oven (that was not in operation at the time) and bocce courts, I believe. read more

Unbelievably good. We really enjoyed our wood fired food pairing and the best wine! Nick was our host and did an outstanding job explaining the methods of wine making and how the food paired with the wine. The food did steal the show and I would HIGHLY recommend coming here, it's absolutely worth the money. Everything that we had was out of this world and really made for a special day. Our favorite wine was the Pinot Noir which this area is known for and felt like it was a steal for $55 a bottle. read more

What an understated, yet wonderful experience! Wee went recently for the Wine and Woodfire Lunch. It was recommended highly by friends and, boy, were they right. We arrived ahead of our guests and were offered a splash of a delightful Sauvignon Blanc to wet our whistle. We recognized greatness right off the bat, and were looking forward to whatever came next. Shortly our guests arrived and we were all seated on the sprawling back patio, looking out over the vineyards, and Comstock Residence. Our Wine Educator, Nick was cordial and made us feel at home. We started out with, as part of our Woodfire Lunch, with a spritely Dry Creek Blanc de Blanc, from the adjacent property. What a way to start the meal! The weather can be hot in Dry Creek (probably why the creek is, uh....dry), but that day the weather could not have been more perfect, and the Blanc de Blanc topped it off. We looked out over the vineyards and sighed. As we started thinking about dining, Nick confirmed with us the food preferences that we phoned ahead, and went over the day's menu. This is gonna be gooood. (Remember to tell them what food allergies and predilections you, e.g. vegetarian when you call to reserve. The menu is prepared daily, local, seasonal, and personalized for your party.) Now, I should make it simple for you by saying that we really did enjoy each wine we had. There were no duds. Each offering had it's own signature notes and it occurred to us that the wine maker is really on his game. During the meal we enjoyed, from Nick, some of the winery/family history, the philanthropy, and the vintage artistry that makes up their wine list. For lunch we had some wonderful plates.... for us we it was Scallops, Duck Ragout, Pork Skewers, and a Truffled Mac 'n Cheese appetizer that elicited nothing but oohs and ahhhhh all around the table. Comstock is a bit off the beaten path, so it makes for a place that we as locals felt was our little secret, so keep it under your hat (wink)! We finished up by getting a mixed case of their Red wines, and a whole case of their Rosé. What with summer approaching, it doubt those wines will last very long at our place. read more

Wow! Comstock wines. Beautiful. Amazing hospitality. Production, on point. The chef, superb. The art, beautiful. Highly recommended! read more

My experience at Comstock was just okay. I hate to write a three star review but I hope my comments can be helpful for both the winery and potential customers. Frankly I don't write that many reviews compared to how many places I go, but today I am compelled to leave some feedback. Upon checking in, I was greeted and seated friendlily. The setting is very lovely and the views are breathtaking. Upon receiving tasting menus, I observed that the tasting fee was not noted, nor was it noted whether or not a purchase would waive the tasting. As a fan of the Dry Creek area and scanning the tasting list, I decided it did not matter, to a certain extent, but hoped the team would use their communication skills to inform the dynamics of the experience. As a red drinker, and lover of Pinot Noir, I inquired if by taking the red tasting experience I could 'add in the Pinot', since it was only on the mixed tasting, and not the red. As a fan of Rhones as well, the Grenache and Syrah made me opt for the red. Anyway, the fellow pouring had no issue making that exception, and by the way -- the initial pour of blanc-de-blanc was very nice and not listed. So indeed, there was something not listed to be loved. I want to say that personally I thought the wines were unremarkable. My favorite, ironically, was the Pinot Noir. I didn't think the wines were bad by any means. I could tell a great deal of care went into the winemaking. Much of it probably pairs fine with food, but nothing was incredibly interesting, they all just kind of tasted the same to me. They were drinkable and smooth, but again, not incredibly interesting. Nothing big about the zin, nothing earthy about the cab, and the Rhones were just kind of boring. No tanens anywhere in [sight]. The Pinot was my favorite, but wasn't good enough to spend $55 for a bottle (an amount I frequently do spend on a bottle that I like). Since the tasting was lackluster, I was ready to head out. In communicating the same, I learned the following: the tasting is $30. The tasting fee is not waived with the purchase of any amount of bottles. There was no up-sale to join the club (not that I would have). Now, again, this would not have affected my decision to stay and try the wines. But it certainly would have been nice to know in advance, whether by voice or print. Finally, the POS system printed the check, allowed for a tip PRIOR to running the card. The pourer said, "like a restaurant!". No, buddy, at a restaurant you tip after you run the card. Details are important. There were a few other quirks of my visit, however I did start getting hungry and annoyed by little things. So I think I have said enough. Overall given the hundreds of places to try in the area and beyond, this was my first and last time visiting Comstock. read more

Salute! Great new winery in the town of Healdsburg. The winery is beautiful. Love the covered wide hallway that leads to an open space with patio seating and colorful orange umbrellas and where you can engage in a game of bocce or cornhole toss. As you make your way towards the back, the wine tasting room is to your left. This winery has not been open long. Though brand new their calendar of events and tours are readily open and available for sign-ups. We had a a chance to tour the winery last weekend led by Chris Russi. With our 2013 Sauvignon Blanc in hand, Chris gave us a tour of their 17-acre estate, gave a little history and spoke of winemaking techniques as we made our way to the vineyards, to the crush pad, and the winemaking cellars. We were able to take a peek inside two containers of fermenting Cabernet and Merlot grapes. Pretty cool as I've never seen grapes in this stage of winemaking before. Chris is the winemaker and he is very passionate about the wines at Comstock. Aside from tours and wine tasting of their signature wines did you know that they also offered yoga?? and after the hour-long class, you will enjoy a refreshing glass of Sauvignon Blanc and continental breakfast on the patio. Might be something new to try next time! Chris and the hospitality team of Comstock made our Sunday afternoon here a 5-Star experience! Thank you so much! Review #0371 read more

So lovely! The vineyard is absolutely beautiful, it was a warm day so we requested to have a mostly white wine tasting, all of the wines were delicious, and they were also super accommodating with the tasting menu- I have a nut allergy and I'm vegetarian so sometimes it can be a challenge to even ask but they were so great! Special shout out to Maddy our server, she was so kind and explained each wine so well. Super excited to visit again! read more

On our first visit to Comstock, we were impressed by the their white wine offerings and the great grounds. We were there with our toddler and were encouraged by the tasting room manager talking about how kids were welcome. This helped prompt us to become members as we were generally going up to wine country with our child. Less than a year later, we show up for a pickup and a tasting to be told that their tasting room was now 21+ including commentary about how they wanted to bring in a higher class of customer. So, we cancelled our membership and are taking our business elsewhere. read more

Best staff, delicious wine and Amazon food! Grilled cheese pairing recommended! We became members a few months ago and couldn't be happier.

Excellent new addition to Dry Creek Road and Healdsburg! I make an annual pilgrimage to this area, and it's always exciting to see what's new since my last visit. Usually, it's a lot. Healdsburg's growth never ceases to amaze me! My husband and I stopped into Comstock when we were bicycling to various tasting rooms. I wish I could remember the name of the young woman who led us through our tasting - she was a sweetheart and so helpful with all of our questions. We really enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc and purchased three bottles, one of which we bought chilled to enjoy with the lunch we had brought along. Comstock's property is absolutely stunning and there are tons of tables on the patio outside facing the vineyard. Perfect for a leisurely picnic. There are also bocce ball courts which is so fun. Definitely adding this one to our must visit list for the next trip! read more

California juice! I am an Oregonian who lives in Oregon's land of amazing Pinot! We decided to take a 4 day weekend trip to explore some of Cali's wines.... Our friends are members here, and I first tasted CK's Chard at their house, it was my favorite! Fell in love with it immediately! So of course CK was on our list to visit. They greeted us with wine, and sat us outside on the patio under the big red umbrellas. I look for those small details when I visit wineries, such as having our names on the tasting flight menus, and greeting you with a glass of wine. That sets the mood right away! The table was already set for us with glasses all lined up. The scenery is beautiful! I loved that we could do all our tastings side by side. I like to be able to go back and forth between a few wines to taste the difference. They brought us out a few nibbles also. After she poured our wines and explained each one, she left us alone to chat and taste. It was a very private, intimate tasting. I really enjoyed this part of our tasting.... after a bit, she came back to check on us and let us revisit the wines we wanted to. Her pours were anything but stingy! They have a bocce court too, if you wish to hang out and buy a bottle. While we did buy a bottle of rose- we just took in the views and enjoyed our morning here. We loved this place and their wines so much, we ended up signing up for the club! I'll definitely visit again when I'm back in town! read more

Stopped in on a whim. The staff is so friendly, amazing grounds and the Merlot is NOT to be missed

Came here on what were told was their grand opening weekend - they had bocce ball, small bites, and happy people all about! The place is very spacious and so pretty. I was very pleasantly surprised that their Sauvignon blanc that we started with was delightful! I normally am very anti - SB. The tasting room itself definitely had a new vibe, but their wines had good developed flavor - I only wish they had more! I look forward to returning to this place in a the future when they've developed their Siena bit more, but will definitely recommend it :) read more

Got to taste all the current wine at a Yelp winery event. Comstock hosted us for a show & tell of the winery. Educational and entertaining. This brand new start-up has an impressive facility in size and capacity. Surprisingly good tasting wine for a new producer. All the varietals have a fruit forward, low tannin flavor profile which is quite enjoyable. Many other wineries in the Dry Creek AVA make zinfandels. They are usually too hot in alcohol and way too tannic. Comstock's zinfandel is neither of those. It's a really quaffable Zin. Prices range form the mid $20's to the high of $48 for the pinot noir. Production as of Oct 2015 is merely several hundred cases per varietal. The Comstock license allows for 35,000 cases annually. So expect big, great things in the future. read more

I recently was invited to attend an event at the winery that included a tour led by the wine maker, Chris Russi. We were fortunate enough to be visiting during harvest season, so we were not only learning about the wine making process, the experience included a peak inside two containers of Cabernet and Merlot grapes going through the fermentation process. Talk about bringing to life the "grape to glass" concept. I was delighted to learn the winery is attracting visitors by hosting special events such as Pizza, wine and Bocce nights as well as morning yoga and brunch sessions. The wines are approachable; priced under $50. It's a nice addition to the Dry creek valley. read more

I'm a member here so a bit bias but I love Comstock! It's a beautiful space with delicious wines and a fantastic must-try food pairing. They have also put in place above-average safety measures (other wineries and restaurants should take note!) so I felt really safe. I'm removing one star because they are no longer dog friendly and blame serving food but many other wineries & restaurants also serve food outdoors and are dog friendly so it just doesn't make sense. read more

Wow. I'm a bit disappointed. We were given a recommendation to try this winery. We arrived excited to try a new winery. First the wines, we tried the Zinfandel flight. The wines were ok, but I wouldn't rank those above any other wines in the area. Yet they were $10-15 priced over some solid Zin wineries in the immediate area. The last wine was warm. I told the hostess that and she did nothing to remedy the pour. Now here's the kicker: the tasting fee was $20. Ok, no problem as we almost always buy wine but you had to buy $150 in wine to have that waived. In this case this is 3-4 bottles of wine depending on the flight you chose. I would have bought wine, but was so flabbergasted and I'm a person of principal. Four of us thought it was a complete joke. We all will never back and sadly for them our friends won't visit either. On a positive note, the patio area was beautiful. Though if you join.....wait for it......your patio tasting will cost you $20! Oh and some of the wines poured in our flight weren't even available for purchase. read more

I went to this winery for the first time a few ago, my friend is a member. We had an amazing food and wine pairing, left with a case of wine! Not only is the wine amazing but the VIEWS!!

After making a reservation for a tasting, they refused to allow us into the winery because we had a sleeping one year old child with us. This place doesn't have good enough wine to be this snooty.
