Spicy Vines Winery

What a hidden gem! The wines are great, the atmosphere is personal and fun… we went at noon and were lucky to be tended to by one of the sons who had a wine named after him (which we tasted!). Originally we were about to go because we wanted a winery in a vineyard: but stay! The quality of their wines is very good: give them a shot! We ended not only tasting but taking a couple bottles home. And it was a lot of fun! Our host was Declan and he was both a poet and a sommelier! Go meet him and he will show you the wine ways… and you will have a great time there! And that’s all about wine: having fun! Enjoy. Tastings start at $30 for the basic… bottles also start at $35.

Such a splendid experience! Our host was magnificent, the presentation of the wines was spcied (!) up with stories for each wine, we even managed to watch the rehearsal of their murder mystery night of actors and people from the winery. The spiced wines were unique and right up our alley, the cheese board was totally excellent and the live music rounded up the experience. Such a great place! Congratulations to the owners!

The wine is not the best wine I have tasted, but it is a cozy place with good service. It is clear that it is all a family concept. It's super cozy. A bit stingy with the amount of wine though.

We were lucky to be the only guests for our tasting. The wine was superb and the history behind the winery and founder, Crystalyn is inspiring. This is a small, family owned winery where all of the little details have been though through. We left with a few bottles, and will definitely be back.

We had a great time at Spicy Vines Winery. We did a reserve tasting with a cheese pairing. The wine was amazing and the staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time here and will be recommending it to all of our friends!

Wonderful host Doug! Lots of stories about his wine. Wonderful aromas, beautiful wines!! Must try: cabernet Franc, Oringinal blend! 😲 OMG!! FANTASTIC.

What a great find in the northern part of Healdsburg! While the vineyards are in Alexander Valley, Doug and Crystalyn have their tasting room in Healdsburg which is easier to access. Although I originally thought that this was an interesting prospect because of the number of rosés in their lineup, we found that their whole line of wines were strong with some brilliant stand outs such as their Violet Rose rosé, delicious chardonnay, and great syrah. It was so good we joined their wine club! One of the best kept secrets I believe since a good number of industry folks at other wineries were not familiar!

I have been to Spicy Vines twice now and it is my favorite winery in the area. The wine is delicious and the staff is great. The atmosphere is laid back and inviting. I highly recommend visiting this winery if you are in the area.
