Orsi Family Vineyards — Attraction in Healdsburg

A beautiful property with excellent wines. How exciting for Healdsburg to have an establishment experimenting with lesser-known indigenous Italian varietals. I appreciated their approach to making these wines to be paired with food (the Italian way) and enjoyed the lighter, lower alcohol, elegant touch to the winemaking style. It is a breath of fresh air to find a producer like this in California. In their beautiful tasting room, you will find a wide array of imported Italian goods from art, ceramics, candies, food, and ingredients. I enjoyed the display of the different regional flags from the various regions of Italy. Many people don't realize that Italy was only unified in 1861 and how unique the individual regions are. I see the effort made by the Orsi family to demonstrate this on their property. For the locals, beyond the wine, you find some of the best products from Italy....

My husband and I hosted a stunning rehearsal dinner at Orsi. Mark and his team were extremely accommodating and made all our wedding dreams come true! The venue was spectacular, and our guests were able to check out the vines & wine production area. Mark was so delightful to work with and helped manage our various vendor & catering deliveries before and after the event. Not to mention, Orsi's wine is out of this world. Do yourself a favor and order a case of the Sauv Blanc...

What a great experience! Tony was very friendly and engaging (lots of fun stories!). He took his time to explain all of the wines we tasted and noted how each one was different from the last.

If you like something a bit different (especially Italian varietals), this is the place to go. They have a great selection, with many wines you won't find anywhere else in the area. I joined the wine club, and cannot wait for my first club shipment.

Very highly...
