Taste in the Heart of Healdsburg

My Rhône-centric philosophy is the essence of each wine I produce: Rhône varietals, blends, sparkling, and single-vineyard Zinfandels.

So, what is this Rhône-centric philosophy, that I speak of? It starts with my true passion for wines that come from both the Northern and Southern Rhône Valley, and other parts of the South of France.

It’s rooted in my curiosity and understanding a terroir’s minerality and what it gives the wine. It’s immersing myself into the viticulture of each appellation and my winemaking practices.

It’s the culmination of the knowledge I have gained from my research, my overindulgence of wine and food of this region, my life-long friendships with Rhône winemakers, and my continuous experimentation both in the vineyard and in the cellar that drives my Rhône-centric style. For me, it is very much a Zen thing.

Limerick Lane Cellars is a family-owned, 53-acre estate winery producing cool climate old-vine Zinfandels, Syrah, and Rhone blends in the Russian River Valley.  At Limerick Lane Cellars we strive to produce wines noted not only for their exceptional balance and elegance but wines with an undeniable sense of history and place.

Our tasting room is located three miles south of downtown Healdsburg on Limerick Lane (off Old Redwood Highway).  We are open daily from 10:00 – 5:00.   Tastings by appointment.

We know what you’re thinking…”What does surfing have to do with wine?” Try balance, harmony and nature for starters. Longboard was born from the passion of Oded Shakked surfer first, winemaker later, who brings a unique perspective to wine growing. Our mission is to seek out vineyard properties that make superior Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon.

January to December 11a – 6p Daily

We are a winery that specializes in producing high end wines from our Estate Vineyards and from great growers in our region and sharing them with our guests (that’s you) in a relaxed and informative way.  Come sit in our barrel cellar or our outdoor patio and experience Sonoma Hospitality paired with delicious wines.

Quality through sacrifice is our priority at Mounts Family Winery. For over 65 years and three generations, we have carefully and passionately farmed our 140 acre ranch in Dry Creek Valley. In 2005, love for our vineyards opened the door to creating intense complex wines, hand-crafted from our Estate. We welcome you to join us down in the cellar, below the 100 year old barn, for a tasting you will never forget. Our small, family-owned winery is open by appointment Monday – Friday and open most Saturday’s from 12 – 4. Please call or email us to schedule a truly unique and exciting wine tasting experience.

Great wine has to be about place, which is achieved only if the bottled wine reflects where the grapes were grown. At Peterson Winery we practice the philosophy of Zero Manipulation. Our definition of Zero Manipulation is using the most gentle winemaking techniques possible to maximize flavors, aromatics and the original essence of the wine. The less you do in the course of a wine’s tenure in the cellar, the more of that essence you’ll have to bottle. My goal is that every vintage captures that sense of place.

Surrounded by beautiful 115-year-old vines, our Lytton Springs Winery stands as one of the most unique sites in all of Sonoma County’s wine country. A natural extension of Ridge’s commitment to sustainable vineyard and winery practices, this remarkable facility (built of straw bales and vineyard clay, and primarily solar-powered) is a wonderful environment in which to experience our exceptional single-vineyard wines.
