We love Portalupi so much. We've been members for a very long time and always make it a priority to visit when we are anywhere near Healdsburg. This time we drove an extra hour just so we could bring friends who had never been before. We love all their wines and they always take great care of us at the tasting room. The tasting room has a really cool vibe and I love sitting on the couches under the giant chandelier. I highly recommend adding the charcuterie board to your tasting experience, it's beautiful and tastes amazing. Also make sure you don't leave without a candle, they are my absolute favorite and they smell amazing! read more

I want to start by asking you "Do you want to have a great wine experience?" I had one of the best wine tasting experiences, right here at Portalupi Wine. We were immediately welcomed by a friendly and very knowledgeable staff. (Janet, took care of us!) There was a large group in the special room, right in front of us and they were all smiles and their outgoing friendliness, added to the spirit of Portalupi Wine. All of the Italian varietals were delicious. The taste included five pours from the menu and it was paced to where you could enjoy without feeling rushed. Portalupi Wine partnered with Levi's and for a birthday present to me I got a dark blue denim jacket with the Portalupi Wine emblazoned on the back. I wore it the next morning and it was comfortable and great in that people asked me about Portalupi Wine. I told everyone the same thing, "It was incredibly fantastic!" You should reserve a spot for yourself and your friends, to experience the delicious wines. You'll be very happy, indeed. read more

This is my favorite tasting room in Healdsburg. They offer the most amazing charcuterie platter for a super low cost of just $45. It's literally the best deal in town. The wines and service are always fantastic. All of their wines are tasty but the Barbera was my favorite. They also sell a table wine served in a milk bottle which has a unique backstory. The food and wine pairing was also a super fun experience. I would give this place 6 stars if I could! read more

We always have a fabulous time at Portalupi. I've been a member for years and thoroughly enjoy their wines, charcuterie board, and amazing company! They host regular events at the tasting room, and special events at their home. Jane Portalupi even hosted a tasting tour back to her original Italian roots. The tasting room is a block off the town square in Healdsburg. They have nice parklet which is great way to spend an afternoon on those long summer days!! Nice space inside with seats at the bar, tables and couch space if it gets too hot outside! Tim, Jane and Caroline go out of their way to make each visit special! read more

It is a nice small winery spot for comfy tables and conversations with your favorite people. It does say kid friendly, and although they do have apple juice and chips...it is not what I would call "kid-friendly". It does not have kid menu of kids activities (crayons/activity sheets/etc). But...we made it work while the kids were playing tic tac toe. We had to leave earlier than we otherwise would, if they had stuff for my little one to eat or do. The wines were good, superb quality and nice pours for tasting. The bites were delicious and well-paired, and the staff is friendly and quite knowledgeable about the wines they serve. Fun times, and we will be back (without the grandkids!)! read more

My cousins and I were on our annual girls' trip and decided on stopping by Portalupi for a wine and food pairing. Aaron, who was our host, was very knowledgeable of the wines and their origins. Our visit did not disappoint- the food was fantastic and the wine even better. My only gripe is that I should have bought two bottles of the Vaso di Marina to take home! Well, that just means I "get to" go back. Looking forward to my next trip! read more

S E R V I C E: Our server was pretty cool and informative. They had nice seating outside and it blocked the street and parked cars very nicely. They are dog friendly as well, and have water bowls available. Just be careful if you have a bigger dog, because the tables aren't that stable. W I N E: My favorite of the whole tasting was Nebbiolo. It almost tasted sparkling to me but had that smokey, sweet flavor. O V E R A L L: This is a pleasant place to be on a weekend if you want something that's relaxing and not too fancy. read more

We were a tad behind in our wine club pickups, and decided it was a great excuse to reconnect with some close friends to share some charcuterie, cheeses, and wine (of course). Dave was an awesome host who provided a comfortable atmosphere for us to relax and chat. The charcuterie / cheese board ($45) is highly recommended, with a generous selection of local salumi, cheeses, nuts, fruits and crackers. The wine flight was also amazing, starting off with some delicious bubbly (snag some of the 2023 for New Years if you can), then moving on to the tasting list and some outliers as well. It was the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season with friends. We're c read more

We stopped here before a show. It was very busy and it took a little while for service. However, once we did - it didn't disappoint. The charcuterie board was one of the best I've ever had. The wine was great. The area was cute and they had outdoor and indoor dining. I'd definitely go back. read more

My friends and I had reservations at Portalupi Tasting Room in downtown Healdsburg on Saturday in their Private Wine Room, Jan our server was more then excellent. She made our experience one that we will all always remember. The wines were delicious and the ambience was perfect. Jan brought us the best tasting and most beautiful Charcuterie Platter that I've ever had. Thank you Jan for a perfect evening. I would highly recommend trying Portalupi and be sure to ask for Jan. She is the best. read more

Wonderful time at the wine tasting. Aaron was so friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

What a super experience. We did a food and wine pairing that was so much fun. Started with a delicious white paired with arrancini and next had red blend paired with focaccia. Nutella donuts - Italian style - were paired with the last red. Also don't miss the wonderful liquore!!! The business has seating inside or outside. Very comfortable place to spend time! Very friendly helpful folks. read more

Portalupi Winery has always been a great spot to visit if strolling through downtown Healdsburg. Not only do they focus on standard varietals native to the area, but also some Italian varietals, which is awesome! For our tasting we arrived a tad early in hopes to beat rush of an event that weekend, but unfortunately it was a bit of a tight squeeze with a large crowd. Even with that said they still hosted us with ease, so three cheers to them for that! The owner and staff that assisted us were gems and enthusiastic about their wonderful wines! Having the ability to talk to owners of wineries and hearing the back story first hand is always a plus as the passion for the business is immense and draws you in. Fast forward to the setting, outdoor park let and small indoor seating area, which is usually always quite packed. Very spacious though where you are not packed on top of other guests. As for the wines, I've had them before at parties and they were just as good or maybe even better in person! Hands down my favorites were the bubbles and Zinfandel, pure perfection! Could not have asked for a better Sunday and looking forward to visiting again soon. read more

Ask for Aaron! He was amazing! We had a little girls day in Healdsburg and stopped off at Potalupi. I can't believe how many times I've walked by this place and didn't stop! Their wines are fantastic! I'm not sure I could pick a favorite. They also have an amazing liquor that I left with as well as a couple bottles of wine. We kept hearing that the charcuterie board is the best in town and it did not disappoint! At first, we were like "This is so much food" but then we absolutely devoured it. This was such a cute little spot to wrap up our day and just chill. Aaron was like an old friend who made the experience that much better. read more

We chose this place for their wine pairing and glad we did. Their employee Aaron assisted us throughout our experience. He was able to accommodate 11 of us ladies into the back sitting room. The wine and food pairing was definitely top notch. We really enjoyed Aaron's service and his knowledge of wine pairing. This was a memorable experience for all of us. read more

Aaron took fantastic care of us on our visit Saturday afternoon. We had a reservation, so our area was ready for us when we arrived. We were seated on two couches by the window which was perfect for enjoying the lovely charcuterie board we ordered. The board was as beautiful as it was delicious! It was a busy afternoon despite some gloomy weather and our glasses never went dry. Aaron would glide on by and give us a brief description of the wine while he replenished our glasses, just like a wonderful host. It felt like we were at a friend's gathering at their home. Vibes were nice and chill, very relaxed. We really enjoyed everything we had, we each walked out of there with at least a couple bottles. I got the one in the milk jug and the liqueur. The latter was a delightful fruity aperitif that really closed out the show! Thank you, Aaron, for taking such great care of us! I look forward to coming back to refill my jug :) read more

Stop by here to try some wine, they are in great location with outdoor sitting for my doggie . We did 6 types of wine tasting, every single one was good but my fav was Rose and Zinfandel. End up buying both of the bottle to go. Really enjoyed here, The guy server was attentive and friendly. Explained everything and knowledgable with each wine. Reasonable price of wine. I would definitely recommend everyone to come by here to try their wine. Thank you read more

Portalupi Wine - Nothing like sipping a bubbly Barbera on the porch! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Healdsburg, California

We got this experience in exchange for attending a timeshare presentation at a nearby resort. That said, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would come again, depending on the cost. We enjoyed 4 small plates with delicious foods which were well-paired with 4 different wines. The quantity of wine was generous. We were seated with two other groups of attendees which lead to a fun environment. The server was very knowledgable and made our experience unique. Would recommend! read more

BUBBLES! Did someone say BUBBLES? Stop #3 for us ladies and what a way to end the day! In addition to their counter service in front, they have a gorgeous private tasting room and a tasting table in their back area. Our leader had our tastings selected as we were graced with a flute of Rose' sparkling wine topped with - You'll not believe this! but a tab of cotton candy!!! What do you do with the cotton candy you ask? Well, you plunk it in your flute of rose! Interesting way to serve your bubbles! I was intrigued. I recommend you taste the Rose naked, bubbles only to get the full flavor and effect of the Portalupi Rose. Then! turn it into some fun and drop that cotton candy in your flute of bubbles and see what happens! Service excellent, Bubbles excellent, Concept with the cotton candy? Excellent Recommend read more

I am still thinking about their wines. This place has some of the most unique wines I've tried. We had lunch in the area and opted to try a wine bar. We had a flight which was slowly given to us over time. I prefer that option since it allows you to really enjoy each wine. Their sparkling wine which had notes of strawberry tasted like Spring. Each sip felt like something Charlotte York would drink as she was hosting a garden party. I normally prefer toasty sparkling wines but this was incredible. Their Barbara was a light fruit forward red with lots of depth. Even their Zinfandel was incredible which I normally stay clear of. It was bold with notes of dark berries. I had a glass of the sparkling after the tasting. We sat outside since the weather was perfect. I definitely would recommend coming here for a realxing afternoon. read more

Such a fun little tasting room nestled right in the heart of downtown Healdsburg! My friend and I came here for a tasting last year and we had such a fun time. Unlike many of the other tasting rooms in Downtown Healdsburg, Portalupi specializes in "Cal-Ital" wines which are essentially Italian varietals that are grown in California. I had actually never heard of the term Cal-Ital before I tasted here, but I'm a fan of Californian produced Italian wines. Their indoor tasting room is the cutest! It has some really chic decor, comfy sofas, and a beautiful chandelier that will definitely catch your eye as soon as you walk in. Since it was a beautiful day outside, we opted to sit on their super cute patio parklet! They really took their time putting together their parklet! Not only is it covered but it's spacious and also lighted. The owner Jane actually hosted us which was a real treat. It's rare to find the actual owner on site in tasting rooms these days, so we felt particularly special in this case. They have two different tasting options; 3 tastes for $15 or 6 tastes for $30. We decided to each do the 3 tastes (we were graciously given additional tastes by Jane though). You can also purchase wine by the glass here and they have cheese plates. When we saw that there was brie on the cheese plate, we had to get it. It was rather small for the price but still very tasty. They initially forgot to bring us crackers, but once Jane came over and realized that they were missing, she brought them to us right away. For my 3 wines, I chose to try their Vermentino, Barbera, and Zinfandel. The Vermentino was actually very good. It was citrusy, crisp, and easy to drink on that warm day. Jane actually poured two Barberas for me as I was interested in how the Mendocino Barbera would taste as I'm not used to seeing this variety in that wine region. The Barbera was from Amador county and they usually produce stellar Barberas. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the Barbera from Mendocino county more. It was softer, smoother, and fruitier than the one from Amador County. The winner hands down was their Zinfandel though. LOVED that Zin! It was a total Zin by definition. It was fruity, jammy, peppery on the finish and had some subtly acidity to it. I purchased it right away. When I find a good Zin, it's always finders keepers for this gal. Although it seemed to be pretty busy in the tasting room, Jane did a wonderful job of hosting us. You can tell that she's super passionate about what she does. All in all, this was such a fun experience. Will definitely be coming back soon on another tasting room excursion in Downtown Healdsburg! read more

Portalupi, a slice of Italy in Sonoma County!

Friendly service. Came in on a slow afternoon. We were greeted promptly and our server was talkative and friendly but also gave us space to just relax. We didn't feel like doing a tasting so we just ordered a glass. The space is on the small side with a cute outdoor patio area. It feels like a family tasting room and not pretentious.

My wife and I were gifted the wine and food tasting experience where 4 wines are paired with some delicious bites that complement the wine. Sparkling Barbera with arancini, Vasa do Marina Rosso with Focaccia bread, Pauli Ranch Barbara with Italian Meatball, Petit Syrah with Bombolini. Our server, Jan, was informative and cheerful throughout our time with her. I found the wines more closely resembling those of the old world with the layering and complexity vs. those same varieties usually found in the Sierra foothills. read more
