The outside is an interesting modern building and the inside follows with the modern vibe.It was loud inside and a tad cramped. Im all for sharing tables whole tasting but my ears were ringing.The wine tender was trying to be personalable but we just wanted to taste amongst ourselves.The wines were so so and just not for me. Other wine tasters around our party were enjoying.Perhaps this is the winery for you, it was just not for me.

We had a great time being back again. We loved having Rob for our wine tasting experience. He was super friendly and knowledgeable. We did the Napa tasting- soooo good. We got to try a few others as well. It was a really relaxing experience with incredible views. Rob was super accommodating to a pregnant member in our group. Very family friendly place!

We booked the sensory experience for my wifes golden birthday!We have never done something like this at a wine tasting and let me just say, Id rather not do it any other way from now on.Peter was an amazing game host! We learned a lot about the wines we were tasting and the competition was fierce between me, my wife, and our two friends!10/10 would recommend the sensory experience wine tasting!

What a glad and cheerful place. Lovely scenery, fun art, most kind, warm, and welcoming staff. We came for trivia. We were early and staff generously poured complimentary glasses for my husband and I while we waited. I especially enjoyed the Stargazing white and took home cans to drink by the pool etc. this summer. It seems like their wine club is a non fussy easy (compared to some other wineries) option for enjoying Baca wines year round.

We had Brandon for our wine tasting, and he was absolutely wonderful! As two wine novices he really took the time to make our experience informative and fun…not to mention the wine was fantastic. It was an approachable and laid back atmosphere that will have us coming back the next time we are in the area. Brandon, if you see this - Thank you!!! We will certainly not forget Kokomo, IN! Cheers!

BACA is a beautiful winery, with gorgeous views to supplement the wine! My friends and I had high expectations, and they were well met - it was a fantastic experience, thanks to our amazing guide Eric, who was very knowledgeable and took us through a delicious and informative tasting. I highly recommend checking out BACA for the wine, the experience, the service and the atmosphere

My friend and I did the Napa and Sonoma tastings and had a wonderful time learning more and tasting the wines of each region. Peter was an incredible host. Informative, funny, and knew how to give us just the right amount of time to enjoy each wine while we relaxed in their beautiful outdoor tasting space.

So fun! Of my 3 days in Sonoma, this was my favorite experience. Baca is at the top of my list of recommendations for anyone visiting Sonoma. Tristan was our host of our wine tasting and he is definitely the reason we all had such a great time. He was very informational, relatable, courteous, kind, and fun! Plus the vineyard itself so playful & beautiful.

Great experience! Tristan curated an amazing flight that was outside of the normal box. He is a wealth of knowledge and extremely professional. Will definitely go back and visit him in the future!

We had an exceptional tasting at Baca yesterday, courtesy of the excellent Peter, who was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, funny and accommodating. Baca was the third and final tasting of our day and, in my opinion, the best by far. We each ordered different flights and Peter guided us through them with great humour, stories and fascinating information. Don’t miss Baca - or Peter!

One of the best tastings we’ve had in all of Napa valley. Approachable but we learned so much. Love the hall family wine tasting sampler and the merch was on point. We can’t wait to come back and visit

Had the best time at Baca this week! Tristan spent lots of time with us and was so much fun - sharing great info about the wines, mountains and funny local stories. We loved it and had such a blast at one of the most beautiful settings possible.

We had another memorable visit to BACA this week! I was planning a special few days in wine country to celebrate my husband’s Birthday, and though we were staying in Calistoga, I wanted to make the trip to Healdsburg for a Chololate & Wine Pairing Experience. Zinfandel and Chocolate?!? AMAZING!!! So thoughtfully created, this tasting is one of the most unique - and most delightful we have enjoyed. Peter and the team at BACA go out of their way to make a lovely presentation in a beautiful tasting room. The staff are so knowledgeable about not only their wines, but about the history of Napa Valley winemaking. Great wine, terrific service, beautiful venue. . . We can’t wait for our next visit ;D

Had a really fun casual time and learned so much in the Sensory Tasting. Peter made it so fun and also answered all our questions as we learn about Zins. Gorgeous tasting room and picture spots too!

I went because some other places only took in reservations, but boy was we lucky. The view is extremely beautiful and atmosphere was amazing. Homeboy Brandon was extremely helpful and his explanations was informative and I learned a lot. Did the tasting and absolutely loved their rose! Dog friendly it seemed as well with staff playing with the dogs and giving them treats. Awesome place.

Did the chocolate and wine tasting and could not recommend more! We had a large group with us, but BACA was very accommodating. Tristan was so knowledgable and friendly. He was very patient with those of us who knew very little about wine, and answered all of our questions. Will definitely be back next time we are in town!

Walt pinot noirs and Baca zinfandels were wonderful. Josh helped us and explained everything about the AVS where the grapes came from and all the intricacies of the wines. It was a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend it

Our party of 3 had an amazing experience at BACA! Our wine expert, Candace, dropped some serious wine knowledge on us. Her playful approach and representation of the brand, really stood out. Beautiful knowledge drop approach, patio, experience, and most important of all—the wine was second to none. 😊 11/10 would recommend.Ps Candance’s presentation of the AVA map was informative, priceless, and really made our wine experience tangible.

Beautiful spot to enjoy delicious Zinfandel and Pinot Nior wines. After enjoying our tasting on the patio, we had fun playing a few games in the air conditioned tasting room. Next time I visit, I want to add the chocolate pairing

Beautiful tasting room and grounds. New building with amazing environment. Fantastic service and options for tasting experiences. Great that the winery has wines from the partner wineries (Hall, Walt) and can try multiple wines. Loved our visit.

Were from mendocino and been trying healdsberg wineries when we return from Santa Rosa trips. Disappointing interaction with staff before even getting inside. Asked if we had reservations even though sign out front says none needed, then he said no outside food. Brought some gluten free snacks to have with wine. Said we could go to the lower deck but not have a tasting, could buy a bottle, so we went back to the car to a lovely winery down the road with a picnic area. Bought over $100. Will go back there. So guess its better to sell snacks here than wine,?? Was very uncomfortable.

Beautiful tasting room and patio with knowledgeable staff. The view was gorgeous and, of course, the wines were outstanding. BACA wines are top quality but have this fun and happy vibe that is difficult to explain. I sort of feel like Im getting an internal spa day when I open a bottle. :-) The vineyard seating was lovely and made me nostalgic for a lazy afternoon with my best girlfriends. We love being a member! Thank you so much for hosting us.

We spent several days in Napa Valley, and BACA was by far our best experience. Most wineries charge steep fees for tastings where you just stand around the bar feeling like you are being rushed along while they have hundreds of unused seats. BACA however, was just what we needed. We sat on the lovely patio with our dog, while Tristan was so friendly and absolutely INCREDIBLE at the whole experience. From explaining wines to nerding out over wine science and grape growing, it was just perfect. The wines were also so good, in the end we ended up signing up for a membership even and are looking forward to our quarterly deliveries.

Let me start off by saying what a great first impression. BACA is such a hidden gem that when people finally start hearing about this, they will go nuts over the Zinfandel and the chocolate pairing.HUGE FAN ALREADY and I am not usually a zin gal.Candice was so very kind and made the experience very easy and made us feel right at home. She shared the history of BACA and how it has actually been around for awhile but never got the exposure it truly deserved due to the pandemic. Truly a shame because wow, service and wines were amazing.Who knew that zin could be so good, especially with their customized chocolate pairing, which deserves a review of its own. As much as I would want to keep this place hidden, it deserves to be known and talked about, especially when its in such a great location. Very modern and minimalist design and easily accessible to the Highway and downtown area.Cannot wait to come back and bring friends!

What a joke!Went here with my wife and daughter to enjoy a bottle of wine and join their club. We had heard about how amazing this place and their wines were, along with their other sister brands. We were enjoying ourselves, until we ordered a bottle of wine. Then we were, very quickly and without hesitation, ushered out of the ambiance of the building and out into a dirt pasture in the back. We were told that “Unless you are here for a tasting”, we had to sit out in the back 40 and look at vacant vineyards and blowing dust, alone, by ourselves.All the while, there was plenty of open and empty tables where we were sitting, including the table we were actually sat at initially. It was a very embarrassing situation. We arrived an hour before closing. Nobody even came in after our arrival. Their marketing and PR team should be ashamed and replaced.Growing up in wine country myself, I have never had an experience like this at any one of hundreds of wineries visited throughout my life. When we pressed for why we had to move, they stated that the structure of the winery is reserved only for those who wish to taste wines, and not those who wish to purchase a bottle. Greedy. Unprofessional. Not consistent with the rest of the industry. We will never return here, nor any of the other sisters. Bad form!

Adam was our server and he was wonderful. Gracious and educational. So relaxing. And the Bobs was our favorite - Chard and Pinot.

Great experience. Nice selection of single vineyard Zinfandels and access to Walt Pinot & Hall Cabernet (their sister properties). Great patio overlooking the vineyard offers a nice, comfortable contactless/Covid-safe tasting experience. Also just a two minute drive from Healdsburg square. Highly recommend!

Lexi was an amazing educator. She taught us so much about the wine we tasted and even gave us some background on the area as well. We loved our time here and even picked up a few bottles for the road. Our time here was amazing and the next time we are in California, we will be back!

We have been members of WALT for a month and have had the opportunity to visit both the Sonoma and Dry Creek tasting rooms. This place has a great feel and the new patio is incredibly relaxing and quiet. I love their ability to do side by side tastings too! Ask for Aaron, he is awesome!!

Poor and discriminatory experience.I had a reservation confirmed on Cellarpass, arrived and was seated just to be asked to leave because they were fully committed. The fact that we were seated and had started our tasting I was lead to believe there was availability. Being in the customer service industry and also a club member there were so many other options available to better handle the situation. I understand that mistakes happen and computers can glitch however having Carol as the manager and representing the company is so unfortunate. She lacked empathy, accountability, professionalism and conflict resolution skills.Above all, having just the general hospitality to pull me aside separately to have this discussion where other guests could not hear the conversation -would have shown a tad bit of empathy or compassion.Is this what discrimination looks like? Looking back and noticing we were the only minorities in the room and that there was no diversity within the employees there - how sad to see in 2021.

My husband and I have visited this Healdsburg tasting room multiple times. We have liked ALL of the wines! Easily accessible location not far from downtown Healdsburg and beautiful views of a vineyard help to create a relaxing, enjoyable experience.

Wines are good. Service good in a pretty setting. Purchased some bottles to take home, only to find out later that winery prices are $10-$20 per bottle higher than retail. Not cool with that.

Awesome tasting stop in Healdsburg. Hospitality was warm and informative. The site overlooks a vinyard from the comfortable patio. Enjoyed the Walt pinots and BACA zinfindels. The additional Hall Cabernet “Ellie’s Choice” was awesome. We we’re also introduced to BACA’s newest addition, “Stargazing”,a delightful white.

Review №43

2021-04-17 22:41:11

A combination of three wineries can be tasted here - Baca which is primarily zinfandel, Walt which is primarily Pinot, and Hall which is primarily Cabernet. You can avoid the attitude that you sometimes encounter in Napa as well as the high tasting fees
