Healdsburg's family-owned Gracianna leads a new wave of soulful hospitality—honored as one of five must-visit wine experiences in California
HEALDSBURG, Calif., July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Gracianna Winery proudly highlights its immersive, soulful hospitality at a time when wine lovers are seeking more than just great wine—they want connection and meaning.
Featured in the Forbes article "5 Sonoma County Wineries Where The Experience Rivals The Wine," Gracianna stands out for visits rooted in storytelling, warmth, and family. "We built Gracianna around a feeling—gratitude. The wine is the welcome mat," says Winemaker Trini Amador. "Our guests come for more than a tasting—they come for something real."
The experience begins with the story of Gracianna Lasaga, the founder's great-great-grandmother, who embodied gratitude by cooking for shepherds in her Basque village. That legacy inspires every visit—where guests feel like family and the experience feels deeply personal.
"At Gracianna, we show up for each other and for every visitor," says Fernando Arellano, Hospitality Manager. "That's why we're Tripadvisor's #1 'Thing To Do in Healdsburg,' a Travelers' Choice Award winner, and a 'Top 10 Winery in California' according to San Francisco TV news station KRON4. Forbes' acknowledgment confirms that soulful experiences matter."
Gracianna offers curated, tiered experiences such as private tastings, enhanced seating, and food pairings. These enhancements cater to the traveler who values heartfelt connections more than polished marketing.
"Guests crave meaning over message," says Amador. "Gracianna's story, team, and space are all about creating genuine moments of gratitude."
"Warm, welcoming, and full of heart…Gracianna embodies the 'Gift of Gratitude,' offering wine lovers a heartfelt celebration of life's blessings and moments of thankfulness."—Forbes
