If you like Zinfandel... THIS is the place for you. If you do not, and you want to learn more about Zin or try different Zins, this is the place for you. They probably have over 2 dozen Zins at any given time, depending on harvest, yields, availability. They have seating inside and outside. It was a beautiful (yet chilly day) so we opted to start outside and then ended up inside when the wind kicked up around 3pm. (Note: They allow outside food so bring some snacks with you to nibble while you taste.) We started with a Chardonnay... oh yea... they do have a few whites, roses not many but a couple. This Chardonnay was not overly big, bold and buttery like some California Chards. This was a 2021 Alexander Valley Chardonnay that had light/medium, nice mouth feel (not super acidic), a tad of "fruitiness" on the palate and light light oak finish. We then proceeded to try 9 other red wines (8 of which were Zinfandel... 1 was a red blend) .... just a splash of most where my husband and I shared a few ... because... that's a lot of wine to taste. Had a hard time deciding on what we liked best. It was NOT a hard decision to join the wine club since I liked all their wines ..... I'm a fan of Zinfandel and the fact that they specialize in Zin is super fun to be able to try so many different ones side by side. Eddie (our host) was fun and filled us in on tidbits and history of the winery, and was willing to indulge in my requests. Their price point is about what you'd expect these days... their Zins range from $30-175/bottle where most fall $40-65/bottle. They have a few wine club options... I went with 6 bottles twice a year where they pick the wines. Very reasonable IMO. They had other choices if you wanted more control over your shipments. Tasting fee is waived for Wine Club members (so if you join the same day as the tasting like I did, your tasting is waived.) CHEERS! PS... Their wine club also includes tastings at 10 other wineries where a couple have tasting rooms in downtown Healdsburg. AND... as a club member there are benefits to be enjoyed at several "artisan lodges".

Came on a birthday trip to do wine & chili pairing. Beautiful location, great service. Never had we had a tasting where you get to sample multiple bottles over 100 dollars each. This is not common when you are not a member, and even then it will typically cost you. We fell in love and ended up joining their wine club. Can't wait to come back.

So many people think that Zin is a rotgut jug wine, or so my father said years ago . Wrong. My daughter craves a good Zin and the ones we tasted one afternoon in October was one of them. We may not come back but some of your wines may. Gene Moser & Sarah Willliams.

Having visited Mazzocco numerous times, I continue to be impressed with the consistently beautiful wines and the craftsmanship of Winemaker Antoine Favero. He is a true maestro! The warm hospitality, particularly from Tasting Room Lead Dani, keeps us returning for more. It is a truly delightful experience every time! ? #RepeatVisitor #FiveStars

We were referred to this winery and we were blown away. Their collection of Zins were phenomenal. Chris took care of us and did a fabulous. We joined the wine club, which we had no intention of doing.

Awesome tasting room. Staff was informative and hospitable. Wine was excellent. Coming back again soon.
What a nice tasting we had here. Our sommelier Chris was amazing!! We were here on Wednesday and the tasting area is super nice. We sat in the patio which was super clean and quiet. Vineyards and garden around made it a beautiful sight. We are happy we made arrangements to come here. We had some extra tastes which was super exciting. We will definitely make this a stop in when in the healdsburg area.

I really loved visiting during the #DCVpassport event. Being able to taste the same type of wines from the barrel and then the bottle was eye opening. The wines were superb. The food pairing was unmemorable. Loved the winery grounds and the people working the event were so knowledgeable.

Lovely winery. Great service. They have some really interesting red wines, I went home with two bottles. It was my personal favorite of the wineries we visited in the Healdsburg area!
