My husband and I had an exceptional wine tasting provided by Kyle. It was their wine club pick-up party so they were not initially taking walk-in tastings. As we were headed out to their other location, a gentleman ran to fetch us saying they could accommodate our tasting - which we thought was incredible customer service. In a very busy environment, Kyle provided our tasting, full of knowledge and good conversation. The wine was an added bonus as it was delicious - and don’t forget about the cheese pairing! Definitely the best money spent on our trip! We’ll definitely be back!

Avoid Williamson Wines if you are young and melanatedOwners Dawn and Bill act like they don't want to be there, but if you are young and melanated, they will make sure you know you are not welcome.I have been going to their first tasting room since 2015, and the tasting room staff (other than one of the older managers) is always a delight. They are really wonderful. We finally joined the wine club and cheese club in 2022. We started attending member events, which owners Dawn and Bill seem to be obligated to go to, and we realized how they both made sure to avoid us (usually the youngest and almost always the brownest customers there). This weekend was the last straw, and we canceled our membership after being blamed for something staff forgot to do on a past order. They checked my account and realized they were in the wrong, admitting it to us, and still managed to blame us for their mistake.Update: this was not a one off issue, we have noticed being treated differently than other guests many times. I emailed in full detail of the many incidents, this was the full response: We are acknowledging your cancellation and have removed you from both the wine and cheese club moving forward and wish you well.

If you haven't been to Williamsons...you don't know what you're missing! Their wines are top notch and their accommodations are spectacular. Definitely sign up to to a member....you won't be dissapointed!

Great selection of wines and the wine tasting did a great job of showing what works with what.

A delightful way to spend a rainy, cool Tuesday evening. The happy hour was a splendid deal at $15 that included a chicken slider, truffle popcorn, a few homemade chips and my choice of a full glass of wine from any of their open bottles. The server was a kind, attentive young man who shared part of his story while also teaching me more about the family and history behind the wine. It was a fantastic find in Healdsburg that I would recommend to anyone. Good food, great wine, and considerate staff and service.

What a surprise treat. We popped in here just by chance after eating next door. We enjoyed our wine and cheese flight. And loved the atmosphere which was fun, friendly and interesting. I appreciated the plentiful ideas of food to make with the spices available along with wine pairing that were showing on their YouTube channel while sitting at the bar. It made me hungry. Their club membership would include parties with wine and food pairings. Service was informative and friendly. Looking forward to coming back here.

We had the best time at our wine tasting. Tony was very personable and the cheese parings were delightful. We had very differing tastes and we all found a wine we liked. I highly recommend visiting Williamson absolutely no precociousness. Down to earth and welcoming to all.

We Joined the wine club several months ago, but we were unable to make a pick up during the pick up party. Finally was able to come over for the pick up party lunch and grab our wine. Gave took care of us and he was fabulous super nice very entertaining and very knowledgeable of the wines we tried. Gabe made the great experience even better. Wonderful wines, great food and we met new friends. Try the wines but stay for the wine club. The founder Bill Williamson came by several times, he has great stories and can explain the wine like no other. JOIN the club.

The Icon Tasting - you do NOT want to miss! We selected the lunch; all of the food was creative and delicious. The wine pairings were well thought out. Not one of the four of us left hungry or thirsty. Tracey was our host - she was friendly and very knowledgeable with excellent recommendations for the wine. In fact, we enjoyed the food and wine so much, we came back for the happy hour and enjoyed that as well! Allison was a great host! We will definitely return!

I remember the days when tasting was free and service was good. I understand that isn't sustainable. I haven't been in years, mainly because there are so many different wineries to try, and eventually, I found other wines I just liked better. The wine here is decent. Nothing is terrible, and the pairing is decent. Then again, that is all subjective. So why the lower rating?A friend was in town, and she wanted to visit Williamson. She also remembers back in the day. We walked in with no appointment and seated quickly. It took a while for our educator to come, and they weren't terribly busy. My annoyance was not so much that the tasting fee is now $25, but there is no option to waive it with purchase of x bottles. I honestly didn't feel like buying bottles and then an extra fee on top that could have been an extra bottle instead. Kinda like 3 instead of 2 bottles kind of thing. The edicator took extremely long times between each pour, and there was a table behind us being super loud and annoying. It ruined the ambiance. I dont need to hear your conversation or the annoying kackle, as we try to enjoy this experience. Nothing was said to them. The spiel between each pour was good, just not enough to sweeten the sour mood.I would have bought wine, but was put off. A shame. I probably won't be back or if I do, I probably will just sit it out.

We went for a cheese tasting and it was OK. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The wines were probably not as good as the other Williamson store tasting.
