We look forward to welcoming you to our Downtown Healdsburg tasting room located in an historic former winery. Like our wines, the tasting experience balances depth and seriousness with vibrancy and joy. Idlewild has a concise aim: to produce wines of exceptional balance and beauty. It is a journey to pursue Italy’s Piedmont grape varieties in the elevated hills of Mendocino County, and to find the sides of these varieties that are intriguing, delicious, and haunting. Emphasis is on the vineyard followed by minimalist winemaking techniques. While not dogmatic in practice, an honest and sustainable approach is fundamental in making wines of purity.
“An absolutely incredible experience - Brandon was very informative and PERSONAL during my visit. I truly felt like he cared and wasn't just pouring samples!”
“It is a great place to try wines that aren't the basics. Lots of great Italian wines and perfect service!”
“A can’t miss in Healdsburg. The owners are really invested in the story of their wine and the other products they have available. The prosciutto is the best I’ve ever had. Trust me - stop in for a sip!”
“In Healdsburg you'll have your choice of wineries and tasting rooms—everything from the swankiest button-down $60 tastings to the more affordable and laid back. Idlewild is definitely more of the laid back. The tasting room feels more like a casual place to get together. We had the pleasure of meeting Sam, who was our server. Every wine was wonderful and he provided a full commentary of each wine, free of the pretentiousness that sometimes comes as a side dish at stuffier wineries. I have been to Italy and drank Italian wines. Idlewild could compete with the best of them. I highly recommend stopping in.”
“Nice tasting room in Healdsburg that's more of an urban winery. We were there for the Wine Road barrel tasting weekend. We were seated in the pretty back room and our host was very knowledgeable of their wines. He did a great job. Brought out some complimentary crackers, cheese, and salami too. Unfortunately we couldn't order a charcuterie board that day. They have great reviews on their wines so that's why we stopped in. If you like sweet and overly floral wines, this is the place for you.”
