Here’s a wine that tends to fall under the radar: Rochioli Wine. Some of the smaller wineries in Sonoma produce the most elegant wines. Let me introduce you to one such winery that has an incredible line-up of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir that you may overlook on a wine list because you’ve never heard of it. Keep your eye out for Rochioli Wine’s elegant Russian River Pinot Noirs. You’ll also love the Sauvignon Blanc.
Nestled in the heart of Sonoma County just outside of the charming town of Healdsburg, Rochioli Vineyards and Winery stands as a beacon of excellence in the world of wine. With its sprawling vineyards, rich history, and commitment to quality, Rochioli offers a truly unforgettable experience for wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.
Located in the Russian River Valley, this renowned winery boasts a legacy spanning generations. From its humble beginnings in the 1950s to its current status as a premier destination for wine lovers, Rochioli has remained steadfast in its dedication to crafting exceptional wines.
Stepping into the tasting room, I was immediately struck by its rustic charm and inviting ambiance. You’ll notice wooden beams stretched across the ceiling, while large windows offered panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
We tasted outside on the patio under the shade of an umbrella, while friendly staff guided us through a tasting, one wine at a time and let us relax by ourselves. Some of the wine tastings are interactive and require your full attention – this one let our group chat and enjoy the wines.
You just can’t beat the tranquility of this beautiful spot, and the experience was fun for our group!
