About the Winery
Bedarra Vineyards is the family winery of co-founders Brigid and Jeff Harris, named for Bedarra, the small island off the Great Barrier Reef where they spent their honeymoon in 2003. The winery began in 2005 with the purchase of a home and vineyard on the southern edge of Dry Creek Valley, and its first wines included a Chardonnay, a white blend called Beachfront, a red blend called Bonfire and a Primitivo.
In 2013 the couple bought an 8-acre hillside vineyard on Chalk Hill Road, at the southernmost tip of Alexander Valley, a cooler corner of the valley. They replanted it completely in 2014, about 90% to Cabernet Sauvignon with small blocks of Malbec and Merlot, and the 2018 vintage was the first estate Cabernet Sauvignon release.
Guests taste the estate-grown wines at the Bedarra Beach House, set beside the vineyard pond, by reservation. It is a small, personal visit a few minutes from the larger estates along Chalk Hill Road, and an easy drive from downtown Healdsburg. We confirm current details when we book.

Bedarra does not publish its tasting days or hours, so we confirm the reservation first and set the order of the day around it. Chalk Hill Estate is open daily, 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Siduri is closed Tuesday and Wednesday, so on those days we choose another downtown Healdsburg tasting room.
About $70 per person in published tasting fees for Chalk Hill Estate and Siduri, plus the Bedarra tasting fee, which we confirm when we book. Each winery is paid directly.
Every tour is custom. This day is a starting point: your chauffeur will shape it around what matters to you, and we plan multi-day tours for guests who want to see more of wine country.
