My husband and I were fortunate enough to attend the opening celebration of Taste Alexander Valley. The opening dinner was held at Lancaster Estate Winery. The property is absolutely beautiful and the wine is amazing. The cave is something to be seen. When in Healdsburg, make sure to taste at Lancaster Estate Winery! More

I loved the tour of the wine cave and the wine tasting experience; however, I wish we could have seen a bit more of the beautiful property! There may have been a more in-depth tour that I was unaware of...probably a research oversight on my part. Next time! More

You have to make an appointment for the full tour and tasting, but its worth it. The facility is great, and the tasting makes for a very special experience when you are in the Library room. More

Lancaster Estate is the brainchild of Ted and Nicole Simpkins and it shows all of the markings of success. Elegant setting, elegant wines and a winemaker and staff to match. This cabernet house knows how to make and present wines that are cellar ready but also drinkable today. Jesse Katz has worked with the best (Paul Hobbes) and Screaming Eagle... More

What an amazing experience!!! This is a breath of fresh air for people who want to taste a real quality wine, rather than those getting drunk off of chemical stuff on the tour buses. My husband, (who is from Italy and knows his wine) called it one of the best, most unique wine experiences he has ever had. Sarah, our... More

This tour/wine tasting was unique and totally worth the $20 tasting fee. It started with a tasting of a white wine right away, in the tasting room. We then walked over to the vineyards, and then into the wine caves where the wines are stored for a private tour. The tour ended with an hour long seated tasting and discussion... More

Wow! This is a must do if wine tasting in Sonoma. We had an unbelievable experience with Andrew. He was very knowledgable and interesting to listen to. He showed us this fascinating estate and filled us in about the proprietors and experts there. This winery is truly a Sonoma gem. More

While visiting in Headlsburg we decided to visit this by appointment only winery. The tour was fun and very educational. We had a private tour guide, Neal who was a blast and good at his job. He made the tour interesting and exciting. The tour ended with a great tasting in an elaborate cave tasting room. The vineyards were flat... More

Not a tour bus tasting - if you are into wine this is a must stop. Need an appointment, will have personal service and expect to come out of there in the wine club or a case of fantastic red in your hands. Not your typical wine tasting - more like an intiment wine moment. Enjoy. More
