Best pairing testing in comfortable settings in a charming town
Susan_R, Feb 2023
We loved the emphasis on pairing wine with food. All three Russian River wine companies had excellent wines and high quality food. It was relaxed and comfortable tastings with knowledgeable presenters. Carol our guide was considerate and kept things on course unobtrusively I highly recommend it.
Hidden gems discovered through the walking tour of Healdsburg!
Kerry_F, Dec 2022
Carol showed us aspects of Healdsburg that we had not seen or experienced before. We started in the plaza with a history lesson followed by several wineries on/off the square with perfectly curated food at each stop. We walked quite a bit which was fantastic given the wine and food! We enjoyed Carol quite a bit as a guide. She has a wonderful sense of humor, adventure and obviously great relationships with the businesses.

Great walking wine tour.
Donald_T, Oct 2022
This is a wonderful tour in downtown Healdsburg, the four tasting rooms were were very interesting each with it’s own history. The food and wine parings were spot on, Carol our host was informative and definitely knows her local winery’s. She was an awesome guide. Was A little apprehensive at starting at 11 o’clock in the morning but four hours went by quickly and it was a wonderful day.
Sister trip

We had food & wine pairings at 3 wineries around Healdsburg Plaza as well as a tea tasting. All were delicious!
Fantastic wine tour
Gavin_C, Jul 2022
One of the best wine tours we have been on. We liked the format with three different types of wine tasting. Also the food was excellent and more substantial than you typically receive on a wine tour. Our tour guide, Linda, was very friendly and had clearly put of thought and preparation in to the tour. Highly recommend.
Great tasting, great tour!
Beth_K, Jun 2022
We had the best day touring downtown Healdsburg with our knowledgeable guide, Desiree. She took us to some boutique tasting rooms and gave a great tour of the area, the wine and the food. Loved every minute and had fun meeting some new friends, too :)
Not worth the price
Kelly_M, Jun 2022
We had a nice time. Our tour guide was great and the people on the tour with us where friendly and fun. The first stop did a great wine and food pairing and was the only stop that felt like a "wine and food" tour. I expected more than pizza and barbeque for the the food part of the tour. Healdsburg is know for its great restaurants and we didn't visit any. Our guide brought us pizza at the second stop and BBQ at the 4th (tea stop in between) but I don't know were they were from and it was very limiting. I have done food and drink tours in other cities and was very disappointed with this. We were left still Hungary with no ideas where to get something.
Great Wine & Food
Dianna_K, May 2022
Carrie was great. Stopped at 3 wine tastings and a tea place in Between. As Carrie said, to cleanse our pallets. Food pairings went well with each of the wines. Timing was great, never felt rushed.
Fabulous tour!
Darlene_H, May 2022
We went to great places met fabulous people. Our guide was incredible. We bought lots of wine and enjoyed the whole experience.
A must do if you have the time!
Hallie_M, May 2022
We went to three wine tastings and a tea room and each place had delicious offerings and very knowledgeable staff. Our guide Carol was fun and informative and we had such a great time with her and the other people doing the tour. Highly recommended!
Loved our tour in Healdsburg
Lawrence_H, Apr 2022
Our guide Desiree was great! We made four stops as we walked Healdsburg. There were 3 wine tastings and a tea shop for variety. Pizza served at 2nd wine stop. Most memorable was an hour at Williamson Wine Tasting. We had six wine samples (all good) paired with specially selected and matched cheeses and toppings. Our wine host, George was outstanding both with his wine knowledge and his local stories. Very entertaining. This was a wonderful four hours where we toured with two ladies who were neighbors traveling together. A great choice!
Wine country small town charm

My husband and I had a wonderful experience during this small group walking food and wine tour of Healdsburg. Desiree our tour guide was excellent and very informative! This tour was a great way to get acquainted with Healdsburg.
Spiced Vines - a must stop!
Tracy_S, Nov 2021
Spent my daughters 21st birthday in wine country and she chose this tour. It didn’t disappoint. Desiree is an awesome guide, knowledgeable and personable. Healdsburg is quaint, adorable and accessible. Parking was easy and the wines we tasted were delightful. At Spivey Vines we were served by the winemaker himself, Doug, what a treat! Krisalyn, the owner, was there and answered all our curious question. We bought 3 bottles of the spiced wine, so unique, and I am thrilled to share it with family over the holidays.
Great wine and food in Healdsburg

Best walking tour
Donna_R, Oct 2021
Great wine pairings and loved all the history. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and such a delight to be around. Healdsburg is a quaint little town with unique shopping. Something for everyone. The plaza was bustling with vendors and band plying under the gazebo. Definitely recommend this tour if you are in Healdsburg.
What a great day! Carol...
David_S, Oct 2021
What a great day! Carol was sweet, knowledgeable and an excellent hostess. The 4 stops we made were great and the overall experience was outstanding.
fabulous wine tasting in Healdsburg!
Stephen_M, Oct 2021
Emily, our guide, was very genuine, friendly and knowledgeable. We thought the whole tour would be done in 2 hours. Instead, we were still having fun after 4 hours. Healdsburg is a fabulous place for experiencing great wines and our tour gave us the opportunity to taste some terrific wines and to speak with enthusiastic wine makers. All in all, highly recommended.
Educational Fun Wine Tasting Experience
George_B, Sep 2021
