Harvest Break: The Mazzoni Special Cellar Experience
A Front-Row Seat to Wine Country’s Most Magical Season
With Zialena Winery
Step into the sensory spectacle of Sonoma County’s grape harvest season. Hotel Healdsburg invites you to experience this extraordinary time firsthand through our Harvest Break, an immersive experience at
Zialena Winery in the heart of Alexander Valley.
Rather than a formal winery tour, this is a seated cellar experience shaped entirely by what’s happening that day. Whether you’re watching fruit arrive fresh from the vineyard, catching the earthy perfume of fermenting juice straight from the tank, pulling a sample from barrel, or simply spending time talking wine with the people who make it, this is harvest at its most intimate and unforgettable — an authentic, ever-changing look behind the cellar doors.
Settle in with fresh coffee and donuts or harvest snacks (a cold beer, if you’d like), then close with a communal tasting of four wines, including the 2023 Mazzoni Special alongside current releases.
Feeling hungry for more? Extend your morning with an optional gourmet picnic lunch by Dry Creek Kitchen, available as an add-on.
