Quivira Winery

Ambiance

• When someone puts a glass of wine in my hands, I want to sip and stroll.

• Quivira, pronounced (key-vera), is the perfect wine-strolling spot.

• Part winery and part farm.

• 120 raised garden beds that change with the season.

• In the spring colorful flowers burst from these garden beds and are so cheery.

• Stroll by chickens, veggies, an incredible fig tree, bee hives, and a little pond.

• As I was strolling, I almost forgot for a second I was in Healdsburg.

• Almost feels like you’re exploring a french garden.

• The New York Times named Quivira one of the top wineries to visit if you have 36 hours in Sonoma County.

• I agree!

• Architectural Digest Called Quivira one of the “Most Beautiful Biodynamic Wineries In The World.”

Cost: 

• Tasting is $20 Per Person.

• Wines range from $22 to $45 per bottle.

Appointment Needed? 

• No appointment needed.

• Open daily 1-:00am-4:30pm

• There seems to be some confusion if the picnic tables are open to all or just club members.

• I would call ahead of time and reserve one just in case.
