gracianna winery

I’ve had this on my list of things to do- I need to share my unique wine tasting experience. We live in Sonoma County, and we’re always interested in finding wonderful experiences for our out-of-town visitors. Well, we found a new favorite. Gracianna is a small family-owned winery, and a visit to their tasting room is a true Sonoma County experience. Owners Lisa and Trini are warm and welcoming – they make you feel that you’ve been personally invited. They shared their stories about Gracianna and the inspiration behind it, and you can pick up a copy of Gracianna the book. It’s an incredible story- a must read. And I must mention the wines- they’re brilliant! The Pinot was my favorite, but the Zin was unbelievable too. Even the Chardonnay was amazing. Their son, Trini IV, is the winemaker, and their daughter also works the business. Where else can you go in wine country that is warm and welcoming, an enriching experience, and taste delicious wines. I give Gracianna thumbs up – it was a wonderful experience and I’ll be back many times.

Great place, Great people and Great wine. We met Trini at the Sonoma Valley Wine Festival at the fair grounds and made an immediate connection. We were able to add a visit to the Gracianna Tasting room to our schedule and had a fabulous time. It is a truly beautiful location and we loved touring the vineyard and sitting in the tasting room and hearing their story. The wines are terrific and we have added the Zinfandel and Pinot to our all time favorites. We look forward to our next visit.

My girlfriend Devon and I visited Gracianna unannounced, and within minutes Trini and Lisa made us feel like a welcomed part of the family! They seem to have a sixth sense for intuitively reading their guests and catering to their every need, a skill that is becoming more and more rare these days. Walking the grounds, sampling the wines and touring their home was one of the best experiences of our long birthday weekend in wine country, and I absolutely recommend experiencing the charm and gracious hospitality that is Gracianna firsthand. Next time we hope to meet the winemaker himself - we sure heard some amazing stories about him from his loving family. See you soon, Gracianna, and thank you for everything!

My wife and I were out Christmas shopping. On our list was a couple copies of Gracianna for our book worm relatives. We stopped by the tasting room which was closed. As we were turning around Trini (the owner) came out invited us in, gave is a tour and signed our copies. I think he is the kind of man that goes the extra mile in all aspects of his life. I cant wait to go back for a tasting. If their wine is anything like his book, it is a not miss.

As my husband and I were driving by in the evening back to the B&B, we saw this breathtaking house lit up. The next day, we were driving back to Healdsburg and realized is was the Gracianna Winery and Tasting Room. We made a u-turn and headed back. Not only was the wine wonderful, meeting the owner and hearing the story behind the winery was a magical experience. We would highly recommend a stop at Gracianna if you are ever in the area!

You will generally catch the owners in the winery telling stories and pouring some amazing wine. A must stop!

We went to Graicianna's for the first time and had a wonderful experience. All we can say is "JUST DO IT"Thanks Gracianna :)regards,Loreal and Johan

1. A peaceful, iconic setting 2. An indoor/outdoor tasting room surrounded by vineyards 3. Elegant and tasty wines 4. The Estate Pinor Noir was my favorite

Loved this small winery. Our tour was beyond amazing and Trini was very welcoming. I will definitely recommend this winery to all of my family and friends. Slainte!

I am a big fan of Old World wine and I am on a quest to find a pinot noir in N.California that has the depth and beauty of an Old World pinot. Impossible? Maybe! Although I am still tasting and still looking....Trini IV's pinot noir at Gracianna is definately in the running. I am looking forward to the 2007 (just released) and eagerly waiting for the 2012 to complete it's evolution.The hospitality and enthusiasm is wonderful! A MUST on your wine tour.Gracias, Gracianna!

really enjoyed our stop as part of a group tour. Friendly, interesting and the wine was just as great!! :-) Recommend stopping to make the most of your trip!! I am sure you will leave feeling like you have new family as we did..

We had a group of 8 from Columbus, Ohio that just showed up at this winery and even though we didn't know it was closed that day, Trini opened up his tasting room for us. What a lovely man. He was so knowledgeable, friendly, articulate, and very hospitable. We enjoyed hearing his stories of the history of his wine making and tasting his fabulous wines. I especially enjoyed his sauvignon blanc. And just when that wasn't enough, he volunteered to give us all a tour of his newly built home on the premises. We could not believe it was happening. We were actually touring the home of a winemaker in Wine Country. Bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, everything. He had such interesting stories to share on his paintings and how he designed his beautiful home. This is the real deal! Thanks Trini for helping make memories that we will have for a lifetime.

The very best Zins in the Russian River. Beautiful people to tell you about the wine and it's history. A labor of love at every turn. Top of our list to take our visitors!

This small winery made a big impression. Jesslyn made sure that our tasting experience was fun and informative. We enjoyed the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Zin. Cheers!

This was an excellent stop on our wine tour as we were able to meet and socialize with the owner, Trini. Much like the winery namesake, he was very gracious, down to earth and informative on the wine making process and history of the region...and oh ya, the wine was great too!
