Our group of 8 was picked up at our remote rental house and driven to 3 wineries and lunch, all arranged by David. Some of the wineries were our choices, some his, all different and excellent. It was a long day with lots of driving but it was wonderful. David answered all our questions but never intruded on our conversation. And since our group was large he had to rent a van but did so quickly and kindly. It was great.

My family has always loved coming to Williamson wines. Whenever we visit, we feel like we're family here. The staff is so incredibly friendly and funny. The food and wine pairings are also fantastic. The truffle salt on cheese pairing is probably my number one fave. I highly recommend a visit if you're ever in the Healdsburg area.
