Mercury Wine

Updated: Jan 12

Key Info

  • Exactly the opposite of a proper chateau winery.

  • More like an eclectic, vintage/thrift-esque, eccentric and cool vibe type place.

  • Tasting room is right in sleepy little downtown Geyserville.

  • Geyserville’s catch-phrase is ‘Our little town is 60 yards of awesome!’

  • Mercury Tasting room for sure amps up this town’s awesome factor.

  • A boutique winery that was founded in 2005 by Brad Beard

  • Brad is the owner, vitner and out-of-the-box self-taught wine creator.

  • Grady Beard, his brother, is the tasting room jester extraordinaire.

  • Grady will welcome you in and make you laugh.

Sheila’s Recommendation

  • I’m always telling people to get their buns over to Geyserville.

  • A small little drive up north from Healdsburg.

  • Perusing this tasting room was a blast!

  • I love chotskies and weird treasures that make me smile.

  • The Freddie Mercury doll took me by surprise and was really neat to look at.

  • If you are looking to discover a winery that is incredibly funny and clever in how they:

  • design their wine labels, name their wine, and decorate their tasting room…

  • BUT

  • You also want seriously delicious wine…

  • Then Mercury winery is for you!
