Rodney Strong Vineyards - Healdsburg

The wines and service were excellent. Ron and Amy-Jo were fantastic guides on our wine experience.We especially enjoyed the Pinot Noir and Alexander Crown Cabernet Sauvignon.

Greeted by hostess and introduced to Doug who walked through our wine tasting. Beautiful grounds, and tasting room. Doug was knowledgeable and made sure we didn't drink too much on our first winery of the day. Enjoyed the Symmetry the best!

I went to Rodney Strong Vineyards for a Colbie Caillat concert about a couple of months ago. The place was pretty packed with people, and it was difficult to find a spot to sit. We got the general ticket. I noticed there was an area that had chairs and there was no signage or a security person at the entrance of it. So I decided to go sit in that area. During the opener's performance, it was smooth sailing. Then when Colbie was about to perform, a lady came to us asking to see our lanyard, which we don't have. I mentioned to her that there was no signage so it's not like I know that this area was supposed to be for a specific group.The place was so packed that we had to squeeze in with some other chicks which we didn't have a very good view of the stage. I wish they limited more of their ticket sales so that people are not squished together. Not really enjoyable at all. I would not come back to this place again.I do want to say that the parking attendants were nice though.

I will never return to this venue.The parking and shuttle were easy. The event area was very nice even though the stage isn't much of a stage. Those are the only good things I have to say. I woke up this morning still mad about our experience there. Without question this was the most hassled I have even been at a concert. The sold-out audience was almost exclusively over 50 so you might expect a respectful, quiet crowd but it was nothing like that where we were. We were on the outer aisle against the building in the seated area. Before the concert, many people were standing in the shade but once it began the entire area was filled with people from the lawn seating and others who simply didn't want to sit in their seats. People were also crowded behind me as we were in the last row. This was only mildly annoying. The real problem was the number of people who were heavily intoxicated. Loud talking, screaming, stumbling as they danced. Many people seated in our area were unhappy and annoyed. The volunteers(? and the security did nothing. No asking people to return to their area, no asking people to behave. Nothing. In the middle of the concert a severely drunken man (and badge-wearing wine club member leaned on me and told me he needed to sit in my seat because he couldn't find his. A few minutes later he stood behind me and put his hands around my neck. The only reason he didn't get thrown to the ground was because I didn't want to be the a-hole who punched a rich 65 year-old. I did convince him to never come near me or my daughters again.I'm sure the venue absolves themselves of the behavior of their patrons but they clearly have no control and no policies in place so that others can enjoy the show. Good luck driving the roads after a show here.

Evan was the best host ever; Very knowledgeable and answered all my questions while being easy going too. I would go back to Rodney Strong any day! Alexander’s Crown Cabernet was my favorite, an exceptional wine. Thank you, Evan, for the great experience!!
