(707) 433-6000
Trip Advisor Rating: 5 Stars-#35 of 87 Things to Do
Named for the Babylonian Goddess of Wine, Siduri specializes in cool-climate West Coast Pinot Noirs. From as far north as the Willamette Valley in Oregon to the Santa Rita Hills of Santa Barbara, these wines truly capture the essence and beauty of the vineyards from which the grapes are harvested. Siduri’s new tasting room, located just off the Healdsburg Square, offers visitors a personalized tasting experience, where you can enjoy wines by the glass, bottle or a perfectly curated flight to pair with delectable small plates prepared by an onsite chef.
Not the average tasting room, Siduri is a place where you can truly sit back and relax. Drop in for a casual seating experience, or reserve the Wine Flights and Bites experience, where you will enjoy five superb single-vineyard Pinot Noirs alongside seasonal food pairings.
Insider tip: The fried chicken at this place puts Roscoes to shame (that’s right Snoop!). You’ll have the chance to try a pinot from Willamette, Sonoma County and Paso all side by side and actually taste the difference.
