Nestled just minutes from downtown Healdsburg on Westside Road, Flowers Winery stands as a beacon of excellence in the heart of Sonoma County. It’s renowned for pioneering Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines harvested from the rugged coastal ridges of the Sonoma Coast.
The brainchild of owners Walt and Joan Flowers, the winery boasts a clear focus on seasonality and white-glove service. Their culinary offerings complement the wines seamlessly. The 15.5-acre property features a hospitality house, a state-of-the-art winemaking facility, indoor and outdoor seating, expansive gardens, and an outdoor wood-fired oven. It creates an immersive environment for wine enthusiasts and epicureans alike.
The recently redesigned facility exudes modern sophistication while paying homage to the natural surroundings. There are high ceilings, individualized areas for private tastings, and outdoor curtained private tasting nooks.
At the heart of Flowers Winery’s philosophy is a belief in allowing the earth to speak for itself. The elevation of the vineyard, the richness of sunlight, and the character of the soil contribute to producing vibrant, flavorful fruit.
The winery’s commitment to providing a unique and immersive experience extends to the Estate Vineyard Immersion. This guided journey delves into the essence of winemaking, offering a focused tasting exploration of Flowers’ iconic estate vineyards, Camp Meeting Ridge and Sea View Ridge. Set against the backdrop of lush gardens, this in-depth tasting is accompanied by seasonal pairing bites crafted by the House of Flowers culinary team.
