Williamson Wines: FAM Adventure #3
Williamson Wines: Amazing Wine & Food Pairing Sensory Extravaganza!
My Wine Road/ Blue Heron Custom Tours & Travel, Bay Area Concierge FAM tour finds me at Williamson Wines, just off the Healdsburg Plaza, home to amazing wine and food pairings- and great staff- AND Bill & Dawn Williamson! Here wines are produced with the Williamson personal tastes and the tastes of their very close Wine Club members well in mind- personal all the way- special Wine Club and foodie events, including the recipes and foods that are paired with the delicious Williamson Wines. And those Epicurean Dinners!!
Today, a rather wintry one, we arrive to find our places lovingly set at an impressive wooden table, in a warm, hospitable room with other wine tasting supplicants, ready for the education, wine, wine & food miracles and then the chance to get to know the proprietors. Fabulous experience!
134 Matheson Street, just above Center Street, off the Healdsburg Plaza….
Many of the Williamson wines have names that are romantically important and memorable to Dawn and Bill….guess whose middle name is “Clarissa”? How very Samuel Richardson-ish….
Perfect pairings- and so generous!
Knowledgeable staff, with warm, fun, caring, attitudes make this tasting experience joyful- not intimidating, or stuffy. FUN!
We are paying attention….
Do you see Dawn Williamson at the head of the table??
Bill Williamson!
Passionate…and immediate and accessible….
Bill is expressed in the wines- and in person.
Here’s looking at you, kids.

Here is one of my favorite photos of Dawn and Bill Williamson:
Closed a Friday at Williamson with my wife and big sister, BT 2008. The wife still gives me grief for “allowing” my older sister to purchase a somewhat pricey bottle. I’m the baby of the family and I was supposed to tell her what SHE could purchase!
My sis recently popped the cork on that bottle and says it was the best bottle of wine she’s ever had! Great times with more to come!

Hi Kevin and Ivy! Golly- what a wonderful Williamson story…I was enchanted too!
I miss you guys- seems like we only pass during BT…but that is good, too! See you soon! TR
Thanks Tracy! You are so right. We must make a point to see you later this week.. I’ll send you an email.
