This was recommended to us by one of our favorites in the area, A Rafenelli. This winery was great. We had people tasting from each side of the menu (high and low priced lists). I would highly suggest going here. Inside was clean and very open. It was not loud but very relaxing. Their pours are generous and not stingy.

Most importantly, the wines are excellent. It is a must taste winery. I particularly liked the reds. To be honest, you are not missing out going for the low level tasting because most to all their wines are delicious.

This was a very fun tasting experience. Lexi was so nice and personable. The gm actually brought us all outside during our tasting to show us the harvest work going on out back. The winemaker came over and let us taste juice straight from the press! The grounds and tasting room are so beautiful. I'd highly recommend a visit to sample their very quality wines!

One of the best tasting experiences. They make you fee special. You get a private table, cheese pairing and as much (or as little) attention/ explanation as you want. Plus all of the wines are really great.

My wife and I love to visit Sonoma and check out local wineries and I m pretty sensitive to the attention businesses place on experience. I want to specifically call out Lexi and Caitie for creating an exceptional experience at Lambert Bridge. The winery has a really impressive lineup of wines worthy of a visit on its own. But the subtly friendly service, thorough information about the wines and exceptional attention to detail provided by these two ladies (proper glassware by varietal, perfect cheese pairing, customized name cards) make me more than happy to provide a 5 star review. The tasting room is absolutely beautiful with its high wood ceilings and wood burning fireplace. But these two ladies deserve a special call out for making it so memorable.

Best taqsting wines in the area. Yes, might be a little $$. But well worth every penny.
All of the staff are very friendly and down to earth. We have been in there Liquid Assets Club for 3 years now. They always get our order right. We cant say enough about them. A very beautiful winery. We tell all of our friends about Lambert Bridge.
Bottom line; Great wine, great staff, great place.

Beautiful grounds and wine tasting space. Yes, this is one of the pricier wine tastings I've done in Healdsburg. Yes, their wine is on the pricier side ($50 and up per bottle when I was last there, earlier this week). But, man--it is delicious! All around consistently above average to excellent. They have an all female wine making team, and their attention to their grapes and quality control really shows. My favorite on West Dry Creek Road so far. Oh, and they are super dog-friendly.

Fantastic wine in a fun setting. Their tasting room is beautiful redwood beams and is a very grand setting. The wine is amazing (second best on our trip to Toulouse Winery in the Anderson Valley). Only 4 stars because our server was not as knowledgeable as other places.

Overall a good experience.

Loved their Zin, Merlot, and Cab. The tasting room is beautiful. But it kinda bothers me that they run A/C to cool their tasting room to an ideal temp for their wines, but then also have a fireplace going to heat the room at the same time.

Oh my goodness I had the best 3 year anniversary here wine tasting!! The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating towards my allergies, and even gave me a fruit, meat, and nut plate rather than dairy! The wines were delicious and the view was spectacular. I can t wait to go back!!

This was, easily, the best wine tasting experience I've ever had. From soup to nuts, the service, wine, and ambiance were all exceptional. The wines run on the expensive side, but were outstanding. Highly, highly recommend.

Our favorite place to go in Dry Creek. Everyone wine is pretty much fantastic, no really this isn t hyperbole. My go to white is a Sauv Blanc, but I love their Chardonnay and especially Viognier. Same with the reds, from our BBQ favorite (Forchini Zin) to our by the fire sipper (Cab Sauv) they are all amazing.

Beth, Shelby...the whole staff are wonderful and very knowledgeable.

Pick up a sandwich at the General Store, grab a bottle of Sauv Blanc and picnic on their lovely grounds. The perfect day.

I really don't know what people were referring to about the staff being snooty. We did not experience that at all! Friends brought us here and it was the best vineyard of the entire weekend. Fabulous wine, fabulous staff, and fabulous dogs. We enjoy every bottle we get from the "liquid assets" shipments. The cheap wines are just as good as the expensive ones. I hope to be a Lambert Bridge Winery member for life.

We visited Lambert Bridge two weeks ago for the third time, and we received over-the-top customer service once again. The venue was very busy as it was "Passport" weekend, but the entire staff made us feel very welcome. We chatted with the wine-maker who was super warm and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed tasting delicious wines outside on the lawn. We all love the Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc and many of their reds. This was yet another outstanding experience wine-tasting at Lambert Bridge.

About Lambert Bridge Winery

Lambert Bridge Winery: Crafting Artisanal Wines in the Heart of Dry Creek Valley

Nestled in the heart of Sonoma County's Dry Creek Valley, Lambert Bridge Winery is a family-owned and operated winery that has been producing small lot, handcrafted, artisanal wines for over two decades. With a focus on sustainable farming practices and traditional winemaking techniques, Lambert Bridge Winery has become one of the most respected and sought-after wineries in California.

History

The story of Lambert Bridge Winery began in 1975 when Jerry Lambert purchased a 60-acre property in Dry Creek Valley. At that time, the land was primarily used for grazing cattle and growing hay. However, Jerry saw potential in the property's unique microclimate and soil composition for growing grapes.

In 1993, Jerry's son Bruce took over management of the vineyard with a vision to produce high-quality wines that reflected the terroir of Dry Creek Valley. He enlisted acclaimed winemaker Tom Mackey to help him achieve this goal.

Together they crafted their first vintage under the name "Lambert Bridge" - named after an old wooden bridge on the property that had been built by Jerry himself. The wine was an instant success and received critical acclaim from wine enthusiasts across California.

Today

Today, Lambert Bridge Winery continues to be family-owned and operated by Bruce's daughter Jennifer Higgins alongside her husband Chris Higgins who serves as General Manager. Together they have continued to build upon their family legacy while staying true to their commitment to crafting exceptional wines using sustainable farming practices.

The Vineyards

Each vineyard is carefully tended using sustainable farming practices such as cover cropping, composting, integrated pest management (IPM), water conservation techniques like drip irrigation systems which reduce water usage by up to 50%, among others.

The Wines

At Lambert Bridge Winery each wine is crafted with care from start-to-finish using traditional winemaking techniques such as hand-sorting grapes before crushing them into small lots which are then fermented separately before being blended together later on during aging process which can last up-to two years or more depending on varietals used.

Their portfolio includes Chardonnay (Russian River), Sauvignon Blanc (Dry Creek), Viognier (Dry Creek), Merlot (Sonoma County), Cabernet Franc (Dry Creek) among others including blends like Red Blend & Zinfandel Blend both made from estate-grown fruit only!

Tasting Room Experience
