Roadhouse Winery

Initially had a great visit to the tasting room back in March. Signed up for their wine club and have since been charged more than $1,000 for wine shipments that we’ve never received. Can’t get a response from them after multiple emails, phone calls, etc. and now have to deal with the hassle of going through our credit card company to dispute that charges with them. I hate leaving bad reviews but others should be aware.

I too have not received three shipments since charge in March of this year. I have been a wine club member for over 12 years. I have called and left several voice mails and sent emails to two individuals at the company. No response whatsoever. I have had to file a dispute with AMEX to receive a credit. Also not able to cancel my wine club membership as there is not function to do so on the web. I really hate doing this because I enjoy their wine.

I love RoadHouse Winery. It’s charming and unpretentious. It has been my favorite winery to visit in Healdsburg for years. Located in the town center of Healdsburg it is easy to visit. Although reservations are recommended they are not mandatory and it’s easy to walk in for a tasting unannounced. The Pinot wines that they produce are phenomenal and very drinkable. Also a good price for the region. Van, one of the owners, is frequently there and is very engaging and happy to share insider knowledge of the industry. I strongly recommend you stop by the next time you’re wine tasting in Sonoma.

Another great find for fans of Pinot Noir. You won't find this wine anywhere else and they're staff is super knowledgeable. They have a good setup indoors and outdoors in the shade, you can even bring food to enjoy along with your tasting!

We've had the very best experience!!!! We haven't been Pinot Noir drinkers but Roadhouse has us hooked!!! We've had fun visiting many wineries but Roadhouse wine was the best by far... for our taste. The quality of wine and the service from Van was over the top. Clients for life!!!

Horrible experience with this business. We’ve been charged for wine shipments that were never delivered and attempted to contact the winery via email, phone, instagram with no response. Unsure if this business is poorly managed or a fraud.

Perfect spot for intimate experience tasting wine and listening to great music! Lucky to have Zane as our taste expert! Had great convo and great wine!! Definitely drop in!!

Fantastic service. Excellent Pinot Noir. Ask for Zane at the front. Part of any worthwile wine tasting tour in the area. 5/5 would recommend to folks from out of town!

Avoid this winery!! I have called, texted and emailed to get 4 wine club memberships that are owed to me. No response from anyone. I've been a member since 2022.

We visited this tasting room on our wine and food walking tour of Healdsburg. The tasting room here is small and intimate with an amazing collection of records. They specialize in Pinot here. We normally aren't big fans of Pinot as it tends to be somewhat light and we like big, juicy reds. But the Pinot's at Roadhouse are jam-packed with flavor. The owner was friendly and knowledgable. We liked all of the wines we had here and ended up taking a bottle of their "Purple" home. About the only somewhat negative thing I can say about Roadhouse is that I feel their prices are a little high. I believe the bottle that we bought was about $70. But I certainly can't complain about the quality of their wine.

Hello, The wine is very good But the wine club is a mess. I've emailed Roadhouse many times over the last month without any response AND the phone just rings at the tasting room and voicemail is full. I have not received a wine club order from June 1st and just was charged for a second order. This is after having shipping issues last fall and spring where I never received orders until I complained.. There's no way to opt out of the wine club on their web site and I will be calling my credit card to dispute the last two charges. Terrible customer support. Do not join the wine club. -larry

Pinots on the Plaza! I'd previously been to Roadhouse for a tasting before the pandemic and before they expanded their space, and I really enjoyed their Pinots. There's just so much good wine in this town and not enough time! On our recent walk home from dinner on a Saturday we were thrilled to see them still open and offering wines by the glass so we popped in. There was 1 red and 1 white available for $15/glass. We opted for the luscious red, a Leras Vineyard Pinot Noir (I think this is the Pink Label bottle) and it was absolutely delicious! Fun fact: the Papapietro Perry team also makes a Leras Vineyard Pinot. Roadhouse's expanded tasting room space is light and bright with comfortable seating options, cool music-inspired art, vinyl records for playing, and vinyl records for sale! If you like Pinots and want to taste some special ones in town, do pay them a visit.

Pinot Noir specialty house. Had menu tasting. Nice server also poured other wines for us, generous gift. I like the more fruit forward bottles. The rose' was explained as a French style. In my opinion it's not. French style is more austere with slate minerality. This rose' is more fruit and cherry tasting. Bought 4 bottles. Expensive. $186. Tasting was not comped with purchase.

Amazing experience! If I could give more stars I would. We stumbled upon this place while wandering around Healdsburg after lunch and were treated to a spectacular tasting afternoon. We were the only people there so we sat inside (lovely and cool, although they have a nice outdoor tasting area too) and one of the owners was pouring and knows SO much about the area in addition the grapes and of course their wine. Very fun music too!

I was pleased & relieved when the owner reached out to me personally and resolved everything to my satisfaction with the back orders. Sounds like there was some chaos in the shipping and storefront which is getting resolved. Happy for things settle in as the Roadhouse Pinots have been one of my favorites for years.

​They are overshipping their members because they are hurting for money. I've been a member for 2 years. They recently started doubling the amount of shipments per year to make up for their losses. I used to get 3 shipments a year. Now they ship 6 a year. At $75 a bottle, that is a lot of money. Stay away. This place is going downhill fast.

Pretty sure this business is closed. Roadhouse has been my favorite winery for the last decade. However, BEWARE, we have not received a delivery in about 9 months and have had to dispute all recent charges. Nobody has answered a phone or email in 8 months as well

Great wine, just don't join the wine club. I have enjoyed the wines at Roadhouse for many years and was a club member until I moved away to Reno. Last June, I stopped at the tasting room on a wine tasting trip in the area, bought a case of wine and rejoined the club. I was charged for a wine club shipment at the end of the summer and then another in the October. The only problem is they didn't send the wine! So I called the tasting room and Zane Shocknesse said that they had unexplained "logistics problems" and they would send the wine right away. Two weeks go by and still no wine. I called again and arranged to pick up the wine while heading to the Bay Area for Thanksgiving. Another club charge was made In January and you guessed it, no wine was shipped. This time I sent a message to Eric the owner through LinkedIn. The next day Van Seibel, the tasting room manager emailed with a profuse apology, refunded the shipping charge for the two shipments I picked up in November and then he actually shipped the wine. In the middle of March there was another charge of more than $350 for the next shipment. It wasn't until May when I realized the wine wasn't shipped. Filing a credit card dispute seemed my only option since I received no response to emails sent on May 28th and May 31st. Multiple phone calls to Roadhouse Winery resulted in an automated message that the call could not be completed, or no message could be left because their voicemail box was full. OMG, did Roadhouse go out of business? No, because yet another charge for $318.19 was made by Roadhouse Winery on June 1st, just a few hours after I disputed the charge made in March! Happily, both charges were refunded by my credit card company. I never heard from Eric, Van of Zane or anyone else from Roadhouse. I am tempted to stop by Roadhouse and see what's happening the next time I am in Healdsburg, but probably will not. Afterall, there are so many other good wineries in the area that offer great Pinot Noirs, and without "logistics problems".

Stopped by and got a quick glass of wine while waiting for nearby restaurant reservation. Had their red wine and rose. Cute place and convenient location with limited outdoor seating. Service was friendly and wine was fine. If we had more time perhaps we could've enjoyed it more.

My favorite place to hang out and drink some amazing Pinot and listen to classic vinyl. Great vibe and Van is a great host. Manages to upsell us every time.

Had a great tasting from VAN the tasting room manager. Roadhouse has a really cool history and the winemaker really knows what he's doing. The gold label and the green label were my favorite, If you are a fan of PINOT and are wine tasting in the square this is a MUST TASTE!!! Best option for Pinot in the square BY FAR with the best atmosphere and quality of people. Always a good conversation to be had at roadhouse and everyone is very knowledgeable about the wines.

Best pinot in the appellation . If you're in the area it's a must try. Full throated body and incredible boots.

This was recommended as an interesting place to taste nice wines because the have a record player and you are able to choose albums to play. It was such a nice day that we chose to sit on the patio rather than inside with the record player. It is a pleasant setting with good wine but we did not feel like we got the same guided journey through the wine tasting that we received at the other two wine tasting rooms we visited. It was a good experience, but not especially memorable.

I have to confess I've never actually been to the winery; but I received some of their wine as a gift, and was truly pleased! The wine is excellent; well balanced and fruity with out being overpoweringly sweet or bitter. Definitely worth the money, and when I am back up in the area, I will definitely be stopping by to have a full tasting!

We visited this place in May 2021 and they had outdoor seating and a wine tasting option for non- members. The tasting costs $30 and does not include any cheese pairings. For vegetarians, the cheese and meat pairing is expensive, as they can't do the meat. It wasn't an interactive experience for learning more about each type of wine, but would have loved that.

Myself and my husband rolled into RoadHouse this past Sunday late afternoon. A lot of other establishments in Healdsburg were either closed or closing early due to the fact it was a barrel tasting weekend. We are Napa residents and I work in the wine industry. RoadHouse was recommended by a lovely lady at Cartograph Wines as they were closing as we arrived. We are so happy that we missed the boat with both the barrel tasting brigade and we tried out Roadhouse. Michael, our host, was hospitable, knowledgeable and just a fun guy to be around. As pinot noir lovers, their extensive portfolio is absolutely delicious. We left with 10 bottles, one of which we are enjoying this evening in Napa by our fire pit. YUM.

If you are looking for some deeeelicious Pinot noir - this is your spot If you're looking to not have fun and get poured barely enough to get a significant taste, this is also your spot I know I'm under 30 and when I show up with three friends there are people who may look down on us. But when we're paying customers looking for some delicious wine (which we found), we would like to be treated the same as others. We weren't there to guzzle entire glasses of wine and get smashed - but it sure felt as we were being treated that way

This was our first stop and Van was a wonderful host. The wines were great and the introduction to the area was lovely.

Excellent pinots and great people pouring, you will always enjoy the conversation and the atmosphere. These are some of the best Sonoma pinots I have had, and I promptly became a wine club member. I visit frequently and always bring friends to share the experience.

The owners give personal attention and really care about their patrons. I had a hard time ordering online and Sean himself called to process my order and ship my wine to Texas. Personalized attention at its finest. Merci beaucoup Sean!

The reviews looked good. However, the person I spoke to was so rude that I can't imagine a circumstance that would bring me back. Didn't try the wine but the experience left a pretty "bad taste in my mouth."

This place is awesome and I always spend too much money here! the wine is wonderful and the staff is always friendly and great to be around. Thanks for making a happy Jew!!

Good wine and friendly service. Dog friendly but the room is sparse with few seating. Not a linger kind of place unless you like sitting on hard benches against the wall while waiting for distracted servers to finally pour the next tasting. Also for the relatively few tastings - this place should called it a sipping not a tasting. Each pour is literally two sips!!!!! Super lame. Also removed one star for no patron bathroom. A business that serves drinks needs to have a guest bathroom - suggesting I visit the police station is not ok and certainly not classy! Felt extra offended when the washroom was offered to others but not non club members. Left a bad taste in my mouth and soiled my experience. Won't be returning for the future color labels, humph!

I am now a huge fan. We were able to get a bottle of the 2008 Russian River Valley Pinot as we were told they only have 10 cases left and were going to stop selling it so that they have enough left for themselves to drink. I get it! The tasting room is simple and comfortable and service laid back and fun.

The house of Pinot Noir! Wandered in here after being completely ignored at Portalupi, so we were delighted to be greeted with a smile. Tried a ton of their wines and thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Van, one of the 4 main dudes at the winery. He told us all about each wine and the process that goes in to creating each bottle. Really enjoyed ourselves here. He even comped us one tasting because we were celebrating our anniversary. Though the wine club is too pricey for us, would definitely return to taste again!

This place is great! Definitely don't miss this if you're hanging out in Healdsburg. Amazing pinot noirs and dessert wines, which you can find at their Porthouse tasting location on the other side of the square. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but they are a small winery, and the quality is awesome. They do give you deals if you buy in bulk. P.S. Their pink muscato is ridiiiiiiculously good.

You will walk in and immediately assume that those of us who gave it five stars have no credibility. And then you will try their pinots. And then you will understand. And then you will ask questions and receive such thoughtful answers that you'll be prompted to write your first Yelp review. Truly great wines. And the way they've set up their tasting helped me understand the differences between Sonoma Cost and Russian River pinots. A very delicious and educational experience.

I've had the pinot (yellow label) a couple times now. Hands down. My favorite pinot noir. They didn't have it when I revisited! SADNESS!

I'm a pinot fan, and this is a pinot fan's heaven on earth! I first heard of it through a friend who had stopped by on a whim, and loved the wine so much that he raved about it for days. I was in downtown Healdsburg and wanted to see what the fuss was about. The wine was SO good, smooth and rich. The owners are a few guys who love wine and want to share it while keeping it special. I would definitely try to stop by whenever I am in the area :)

Kick-ass wines in an awesome downtown tasting room. The location is convenient, hip, fun, close to restaurants and hotels. The wines are beautiful and balanced. The highlight for me however is always the service; Sean was knowledgable, warm, open, funny and attentive and he made our visit memorable and fun.

I've gone three times over the past year - great wine. Not the friendliest or most inviting tasting room and they are pricey, but they are dog friendly, and again, the wine is superb. However, do NOT join their wine club. They changed the pricing without notice and would charge my card without updating me that there was any wine to pick up. Furthermore, I was told when I signed up that I was under no obligation for how long I had to be a club member. I recently decided to cancel since the new pricing was officially out of my budget and they got back to me that I'd have to pay a $25 cancellation fee and pay back all of the discounts on my previous year's worth of pickups or I could purchase another shipment and then they would let me cancel. Every email interaction I've had with them has been extremely awkward and they excused their poor client service on being a small staff, but come off as shady and unhelpful.

The least pretentious place we visited during a weekend trip to Napa and Healdsburg, but definitely the best. Many California wines seem to play one note-- loudly. These guys' pinot noirs were complicated and interesting. Be sure to try the seasonal port, too! Given that everything in Healdsburg was overpriced (though less so than Napa), RoadHouse was fairly reasonable, just $10 for a tasting (waived if you buy) and $30-$40 for a bottle. The two guys who run the place were cool and helpful, answering all our questions. Definitely stop by their tasting room, just off the square, if you're in town.

A couple of weeks ago I brought some friends up to the tasting room to pick up my wine club shipment. I also bought some wine in addition to what I get in the wine club. Shawn was our host/server. Had a great time and then went to the warehouse for a barrel tasting with Eric and Mike. What an AWESOME time we had. When we got home I realized one bottle of Zin we purchased was not in the box. I called the tasting room and Shawn overnighted the wine to my house the very next day. But wait, because he thought I was "put out" by having to wait, he included two additional bottles. How cool was that? I can't say enough how incredible all the staff at Roadhouse has been since we joined many years ago. We always look forward to going up and hanging out when we pick up our wine.

If you are looking to taste delicious pinot in a fun, relaxed environment, it does not get better then Roadhouse Winery. I have been to many of the tasting rooms in Healdsberg and you are lucky if they have one pinot for you to try, Roadhouse had three! The xbox and pool table had me tasting there for hours and wanting more! I totally recommend this place if you like great wine from passionate and knowledgeable winemakers (say hi to the eric's for me!)

Looking to try a new spot, we luckily came across roadhouse winery. Sean took care of us and was so fun and knowledgable. They have some amazing wines with a refreshingly laid back atmosphere. Highly suggest checking this place out!

I tried to cancel my order within 24 hours and they would not. It took them 48 hrs to answer my request email and phone call and by the time they got back with me they said it was to late. Not happy with service and stuck with average wine. Over priced to pay rent in Healdsburg.

We went here as we were wandering around Healdsburg and thought that the designs on the wine bottles were really cool. It was $10 for a tasting, which was waived if you purchased wine. I don't remember tasting anything remarkable but I did note that their wines were a tad high for a small place. Regardless, it was still an interesting experience.

Great wines, and very friendly staff. Sean was a wonderful host, and provided a plethora of great information on the making of Roadhouse wines. We wound up joining the wine club because fell in love with their wines.

Love all their wines, friendly people, cool labels, a block from our hotel (Hotel Healdsburg). Can't wait for my case to arrive.

My friend and I walked in here on a total whim! We simply yelped wineries in the area, and chose this one based on its name. Well, I am so glad we made the choice - unknown to us they have some fabulous pinot noirs! My friend and I bought 3 bottles - one to drink on our vacation and the other two to bring back to New York. I happened to love the black label and my friend loved the platinum. A lovely place to try some really good small batched pinot noir!

I'm a sucker for Pinots and the RoadHouse Winery is flush with great tasting pinots! Not to mention a totally fun non pretentious environment and hot and knowledgeable pourers. Be sure to spend some QT with Sean and the Erics.

I was there over the rainy weekend from San Francisco and the tasting room was very warm and inviting. Pinots are my ultimate favorite type of wine and I was extremely pleased. I always love hearing the stories behind different wineries and would recommend this to all of my friends and family.

This is a great, small production "garagiste" winery run by really nice guys producing interesting and delicious Pinot Noir, Zin and Sauvignon Blanc. Their tasting room is fun and located steps off the Healdsburg Plaza next to Oakville Grocery. Really worth a visit!

If you like Pinot then I suggest you start your wine tasting around the square here. They are just off the main square. $10 per tasting and that goes to price of a bottle if you buy it. Shawn served us and after tasting 5 wines let us revisit any we wanted. We were deciding between black and green label so we tried both again. Ended up getting 2 bottles of the green label.

Their pinots are absolutely amazing. This was my first stop during the whole art and wine event and I just had to buy their pinot. It is amazing. I will be back!
