Idlewild
Updated: Jan 12
Ambiance
This downtown Healdsburg tasting room has a trendsetting city vibe.
A bit San Fran and a bit Manhattan.
A hole in the wall spot you stumble upon and suddenly you have a best kept secret.
No brand assault when you walk in. No big logos, flashy awards or merchandise on display.
I sat at the bar. It’s more like small trendy kitchen bar rather than a typical tasting room ‘bar’.
Usually, tasting rooms are designed for standing while you taste. I plopped myself down on a stool.
Idlewild is open until 7:00pm and you can also purchase wine by the glass.
This is quickly becoming a fav local spot.
Cost:
$20 Per Person for a tasting.
Waived with 3 bottle purchase.
Most bottles are $30 or under.
The philosophy here goes back to the Italian way of life.
In Italy wine is not a luxury product it is a way of life.
Wine is not meant to be elitist or separatist.
Idlewild embraces the philosophy that wine is meant for all to share and enjoy!
Appointment Needed?
Walk-ins welcome.
Open 7 days a week, 12:00 am-7:00 pm
Some food options are available to purchase. Salumi, cheese, olives and bread if you are craving a snack while you taste.
