Spicy Vines

A visit to the Spicy Vines tasting room is more than just a special occasion; it’s an unforgettable experience. Everything about this tasting room displays quality and fun. “We are unique here at Spicy Vines,” says Hackett. “We have a very fun, stylish, yet upscale vibe going on that invites people to come in, relax for a while and enjoy quality wines. From the art on the wall, to the subtle nuances all over the room, there are not many tasting rooms that I am aware of that offer the diverse experience that we do.”

The key ingredient to the tasting room’s success is in the warm, inviting, and highly knowledgeable staff. “We have a small team,” say’s Co-Founder, Crystalyn Hoffman. “When you walk into the tasting room, chances are you will be served by one of our partners and/ or the winemaker himself.” Whether you feel like lounging in a comfy couch with fluffy pillows, basking in the sunshine on the patio, or bellying up to the bar, your experience at Spicy Vines will always be special.

What’s more, Spicy Vines possesses one of the only bonded tasting rooms in downtown Healdsburg, meaning that it can cellar and bottle wines on site, where most other downtown wineries must reside to doing so at their off-site production facilities. Behind a beautiful set of wooden doors, a baroque style barrel room adorned with metal sconces and wine barrels is revealed. The barrel room also functions as a space for private parties and group wine blending sessions where attendees can take a bottle home with them.
