The view wineries in Healdsburg are geographically spread. Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley, the hillsides of Knights Valley, each with a specific vista that changes how the wine tastes.

Hoot Owl Creek Vineyards is a family-run Alexander Valley operation. Alison, trained under André Tchelistcheff, makes the Cabernet. Lancaster Estate sits on 53 acres in southern Alexander Valley, family-owned, views that match the quiet seriousness of the wines. Convene by Dan Kosta, co-founder of Kosta Browne, pours Pinot Noir and Chardonnay at a Healdsburg tasting room where the space feels as considered as the wine.
