We had a fantastic experience at Dry Creek Vineyard. The property itself is beautiful and has a great, relaxed vibe, but the hospitality really made the day. Paige (and a man whose name I didn't get, but has a sweet Viking-like beard) looked after us and they were absolutely awesome. Based on his recommendation, we tried the Spencer's Hill Zinfandel, and it was outstanding. Purchased a bottle on our way out. If you are looking for excellent wine and a genuinely friendly, comfortable tasting experience in Healdsburg, this is definitely a spot you shouldn't miss. read more

Another visit that had been planned. Another rote presentation. Wines we weren't really crazy about. We only went here because of a gentleman on YouTube with the last name Asti who is a master sommelier and reviews wines. He mentioned Dry Creek because they don't use flavorings or colorings or phosphates or anything other than grapes and time. We ended up buying a couple bottles because they credit you the $30.00 tasting fee when you buy 2 bottles. Made sense. read more

Twenty years later, my dad now gone, we found two bottles of the fumé blanc he bought on that 2006 foray while cleaning under the house and cracked one open. It has aged surprisingly welll. A bit weightier in the mouth, a bit of honey, acidity has mellowed, but still minerally. It's now a beautiful gold hue. Thanks for the memories, Dry Creek. read more

We had a reservation for 12 on a Sunday for a white wine flight. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather. The flight tasted good and they gave us an extra pour and got to try their Zinfandel. Affordable wines. Our host was super friendly and kind. read more

Paige is the best!!!! Took my visiting niece there today and once again we were lucky to have Paige as our hostess. She is absolutely darling. She's been there for 7 years so has lots of background on the wines and the winery. She is fun funny and engaging and could not have been more perfect. Thanks for a fabulous day yet again. read more

Dry Creek Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is my jam! It's my go-to summer sipper, and let's be honest, I drink it all year long. I stopped in recently to stock up for Thanksgiving, and had to stroll through their beautiful Insectary Garden. Check it out for yourself to discover all of their biodynamic practices and to learn about their history. The vines are showing off right now with beautiful yellow, orange, and red leaves! How cool that DCV is family owned and has been since 1972?! And I feel it when I visit. The staff are all very warm and welcoming. Fun fact: they were the first winery in the region to plant Sauvignon Blanc after Prohibition! I bought a few of their 2023 Sauvignon Blanc and a few of their DCV3 Sauvignon Blanc. I'd previously purchased some Chenin Blanc too. You may find some of their wines highly distributed (at restaurants and shops galore), but I recommend a visit to not only see their beautiful and expansive outdoor space, as well as their indoor space, but also to try the wines you cannot buy everywhere. Beyond Sauv Blanc and Chenin Blanc, their wines include rosé, chardonnay, pinot noir, and zin. If you haven't been to Dry Creek Vineyard, book a tasting. And be sure to stop at nearby Dry Creek General Store before or after for a delicious sandwich to balance your wine tasting. read more

Cool old world vibe with a bit of a nautical theme. Nice site like many other wineries in the area. I think Dry Creek is definitely worth a stop if you are going through the area. They are an institution in the area and are worth a visit. read more

We had walked in on a busy Saturday. They managed to give us a small complimentary tasting and we ended up buying a few glasses. I really enjoyed getting that experience despite it being busy. Will always recommend this place thank you for making it accommodating! read more

The wine is 3 stars but service and value is excellent, 4. Outdoor picnic bench seating walk the orchard. Make a reservation. Buy lunch at Dry Creek general store (walking distance). Skip the cabs and Sauvignon blanc. Zinfandels are the winner here. read more

We came to Dry Creek Vineyard by accident. We had a reservation for another vineyard, but due to a fire in Sonoma, they had to cancel on us. Sometimes those unexpected plans turn out to be the best part of your day. Dry Creek was certainly that for us. We were seated right away, placed out tasting selection and a delicious charcuterie board, and preceded to have an amazing couple of hours having wonderful wine. In fact we got a couple of bottles of what it turned out to be one of our favorites of the whole trip. The outdoor seating was wonderful, as well as the weather, even with fires looming. Our tasting expert was very knowledgeable and super nice. I would absolutely recommend Dry Creek vineyards! read more

We had a wonderful tour at Dry Creek Vineyard. Paige was so informative & ensured we had an amazing experience. The grounds were so beautiful and peaceful. We sampled so many great wines and recommend buying a charcuterie board to enhance your experience. This is a must stop in the area and ask for Paige. She had spot on recommendations for other places to go in the area. read more

We stopped by here during a Saturday wine weekend 2 weekends ago and I really enjoyed this winery! We didn't have a reservation and they were busy and the staff still accommodated our party of 8 with a picnic table outside. We ordered 2 bottles which were both very good- a chenin blanc and a Malbec. The staff helping us knew about all the wines and was very helpful. They have a beautiful courtyard outside. The bathrooms were very clean and nice. They also had an inside area with a cute shop. I will definitely be back! read more

This winery was on our go list for our friend's bachelorette get-away. It was very picturesque and we were seated right away (you'll have to have an appointment). Although two of us were pregnant we still got to enjoy the company of our group and smell the selection of wine being offered for the tasting. Our server was very knowledgeable bout the product and our group enjoyed our time on the grounds. Would definitely visit again with my husband after I give birth. read more

We did not have a reservation at 12 pm on a Tuesday . Very few customers but were told they were too busy to accommodate a tasting . We were then passed on to an other employee to serve us. When we asked about the wines and what we may want to order he told us "I really don't know much about the wines I've only worked here 3 days". The wine we ordered was fine beautiful spot but terrible customer service. read more

Dry Creek Vineyard is a more laid back winery with a picnic style tables and chairs. Reasonably priced wine tasting, and they do have several different options you can choose from. They also have a small store with some merchandise inside. Their staff is very knowledgeable and we had fun learning about their wine and history. Dogs are welcome here! read more

Lovely place with beautiful roses and educational vineyard walk. Great service and good place for picnics.

We've been wine club members for over 30 years. We've always been impressed with their wine. We scheduled a wine tasting this week and brought a picnic. We also brought our dog! Paige served us and she was amazing! We had a terrific time. You can't beat the wonderful wine, the beautiful grounds and the service. read more

A very good tasting experience with John. He's the man. He was very knowledgeable, outgoing, came from a family of wine lovers. He made our wine experience great here. My fiancé's mom even became a member! We bought about 9 bottles. They have good fume and some white wines- Mariness. We also got their Spencer's Hill, and a western slopes- a Cabernet Sauvignon. Tastings are a very fair price here too $15. And you can check in thru yelp to get additional discount or just become a member. Totally recommend coming here if you are in a Healdsburg. read more

Visited Dry Creek Vineyard yesterday in Healdsburg, CA. We were drop ins no reservations. We were greeted warmly and ended up doing the seated tasting outside. Page, who guided us through the tasting was amazing. We laughed and enjoyed 6 excellent wines. Of which we bought a few bottles. Page gave us awesome recommendations for lunch and the rest of our day. We left feeling like longtime friends read more

We started the day at a winery down the road - not great experience, but all improved when we made it to dry creek! We were charmed by Paige, she accommodated all of our requests and was incredibly hospitable and funny. This has been chosen as our new go-to! Thank you dry creek and especially Paige - she deserves a raise for her great energy, wine recommendations, and funny conversation read more

Beautiful setting, great wines- my family and I enjoy this place every time we've gone. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite vineyards in this region! The wines were great and it was such a beautiful setting! Highly recommend this vineyard and the 2018 Beeson Zinfadel read more

Way too hot and has to stay indoor for the tasting. They are showcasing mostly Zinfandel but you can switch to more whites as it was a hot day. I tried the Zin and they were pretty good. Not usually a fan of Zin unless I'm having heavy Italian. Nevertheless the wine was tasty and balanced. Service was great. read more

We had a wonderful time at Dry Creek Vineyards on our recent trip to Sonoma County. Paige was amazing! We didn't have reservations, but it wasn't very busy (rainy day) and we were warmly welcomed.

We were very pleased with our experience at the Dry Creek Vineyard. After grabbing a delicious sandwich at the Dry Creek General Store we headed to the Vineyard where we found outside tables and very knowledgeable hostess Sara who took the time to explain and answer all of our questions. While I prefer the Sauvignon Blanca my friend wanted to explore the rieslings. No problem. Sara brought us samples of each variety. She did push their wine club which didn't interest us but we had a great tasting, learned a lot and brought home some delicious wines. read more

In Covid times, getting a full experience with amazing hospitality can be hard. Restaurants have limited menus, everything is outdoors, and great experiences are difficult to come by. Thank goodness for wineries and Dry Creek Vineyards. Dry Creek Vineyards, named after the region, is probably has some of the best Zinfandels that you can possibly try. All augmented with a bit of Cabernet Franc, they're both exceptionally well balanced yet unique and fruit forward enough to have you coming back for more. These are everyday wines that you can have with a meal or sitting down with friends, which honestly are my favorites. The standouts imho happen to be: - Zin: Spencer's Hill Vineyard - Zin: Vogenson Ranch - Cab Sauv: Endeavor Usually when you go to a tasting you end up with one or maybe two standouts. Here, I loved almost everything I tasted. So much so, that I became a member. Let this place be a your jumping off points to other excellent tastings: Unti, Mazzocco to name a few. read more

Excellent wines and a beautiful setting. I liked most of the wines I tried here but especially loved the Meritage Benchland and the Spencer's Creek Zin.

There's lots of outdoor space so it's easy to socially distance. Definitely would come back again! read more

Stopped in to get a glass of the Beeson Ranch zin which was wonderful. It was a quiet Wednesday afternoon which allowed us to chat with Darren in the tasting room for quite sometime. We had such a good time talking about his trip to Spain, a bonus for us because Spain is a place we were thinking about visiting, that we forgot what other glass of wine we had. Always great when we can taste excellent wines, lose track of time, and know we loved our visit and will definitely be back. read more

We visited Dry Creek Vineyard for a tasting. Ridge Holguin, is Tasting Room Lead. He knows his wine and has a depth of knowledge about the business, varieties, and where the grapes are grown. He has a really pleasant nature. I look forward to learning more from him next time. read more

[Out-of-Towner Review] Tastings with a side of garden delight! Our friends brought us here, because they are members. They told us they loved it, but it wasn't until we actually experienced it ourselves, did we understand why. To be completely honest, we didn't even go inside and check out the indoor tasting area -- even though our friends told us twice to go and do it. We were so serenely content with the outdoor tasting and customer service, that we never even took the time. A huge PRO TIP to this spot, is to grab food at the store at the four way stop before you get to DCV. The food is way overpriced, BUT it is really, really good! Back to our arrival, the parking is a little limited, but you just have to keep looking for more spots. Also, they offer charging stations for all you fancy folks out there! Once we grabbed our late lunch and snacks, we walked through the walk way toward a garden area. A huge lush green grass area with at least ten or so different picnic tables with umbrellas for shade. You cannot forget the corn hole game in the corner too. Nestled in the farthest corner, closest to to the actual tasting room, was an outdoor bar set-up for tastings with about six or so patio bar stools (with backs, which is key). Robert was already back there helping two guests, when we sauntered up. Robert is insanely knowledgeable about EVERYTHING about this vineyard, the wines, and the history of the family. He was a real pleasure to speak with and learn from. He was engaging and made the tasting enjoyable with history, humor, and his throwback sports convo. They are celebrating their 45th anniversary this year and the tasting menu had one specific varietal that was made specifically for this years celebration. They also hung up the original signage from the vineyard in the garden area. We all really enjoyed it and thought it was a perfect fit, Robert wasn't sold on leaving it there forever ;) The different tastings were all tasty, whites to reds. Luckily for us, since our friends were members our tastings were comp'd. However, they are reasonably priced tastings for the area. All the good wines of the area, but missing the Napa tasting fees. At the outside bar they also serve bottles by the glass, about one option for each type of varietal they serve, all within a great price range. Don't think they won't go inside and get you something too, which they will -- they are super friendly and helpful! After we tasted and grabbed some wine for our lunch we spent the next hour or so just enjoying the surroundings. We noticed the staff closing up, but they never once asked us to leave or were rude at all. I really appreciated it, but we got the hint and packed up our stuff. Everything about DCV is exactly what a laid back wine taster is looking for - non pretentious, good wines, and great service, all at a decent price. DCV keep doing what you do, cause it's working! read more

Wifey & I, came to the Bay Area to visit my daughter, she likes wine and I'm mainly a beer and scotch kind of person. I swore off wine years ago when I tasted some really bad wine. Well this place is very nice and the wine itself has converted me into a wine drinker now. So much so that we left with 5 bottles of wine that we had to ask our daughter for extra luggage to take back home to SoCal. Lovely place for wine and snacks (which I hear you can bring while you do the wine tasting) it's my first and I was really impressed we will definitely be going back, soon... read more

Being here feels like you're home. Their tasting area is a great backyard feel, with upscale vibes. Ridge was our server and he nailed it. He was extremely knowledgeable and also made it a fun experience. Will go back in a heartbeat! read more

Here we go! First time stopping in at Dry Creek Vineyards. I've been buying their Zinfandel from my local grocery stores and Total Wine for years and finally ventured to the tasting room! First off, the grounds here are beautiful! And!! If you're looking for an area with lots of wineries to explore.. Dry Creek Road (the road this winery is on) has TONS of wineries! This place is very Zinfandel heavy, but they have some other interesting wines to provide a nice change of pace, such as Barbera and Petite Verdot. Not to say the zins aren't interesting in their own right.. The wide variety of the zins is something to behold. White wines here were decent. Nothing truly leaving an impression, but to tell you the truth.. I figured that'd be the case. It's like going to Chandon in Napa and ordering the still wine flight (which I've done and may be the BIGGEST regret of my life) knowing perfectly well that they're only known for sparkling wines. Dry Creek Vineyard lived up to the vision in my mind and I cannot wait to go back! Tasting fee was $15, which is quite the deal for the Sonoma area. Overall if you're a white wine fan, I suggest you keep driving, but if your a red wine fan... FANTASTIC and BEAUTIFUL place for something big, bold and spicy! Give it a go! read more

The winning point is that they tossed in a complimentary wine bottle after our flight tasting! What a grand, unexpected service and extra tips to the wine pourer! We selected the signature series and it was 4 wines to choose from on the list, for a mere 5 bucks! Totally agreeable! I really liked the Merlot at the end of the wine tasting! It was a nice finishing touch. It left a dry appeal to the palate and it was fitful to the name of this vineyard. It was a pleasant time spent here and surely made our mouths dry! Next stop was for food and to quench our thirst! read more

This is one of the wineries we checked out in Healdsburg this past weekend (collectively our group's first time to the Dry Creek Valley) and probably was our favorite based on experience. Upon entering we noticed there was a spacious picnic area with large tables and corn hole boards. We decided the game plan at this point would be to buy whole bottles instead of doing tastings so we could leisurely spend our late afternoon (we had already been to 2 wineries prior to coming here) while duking it out in a few corn hole games. Probably also the more economic way to go since we had 4 people but tbh the tasting price wasn't bad. The staff was very friendly and allowed us to have a small taste of 3 wines before we decided on the Sauvignon Blanc, and later on the 2nd bottle we went for the Chardonnay. The wine was reasonably priced and although not top notch they were still quite delightful and thoroughly consumed. We ended up closing the place down. What a perfect way to spend a couple hours in this area! read more
