Longboard Vineyards

Longboard Vineyards is a family-run winery located in Healdsburg, Sonoma County, California, established by Oded Shakked in 1998. The winery's philosophy revolves around sustainable and chemical-free farming practices, with Oded drawing inspiration from his international background and surfing experiences to create thoughtfully balanced wines that express local character. Longboard Vineyards is known for its classic varieties, including a top-of-the-line Cabernet Sauvignon labeled "Chrome Wave," which features a photograph taken by friend Doug Acton at Mavericks in northern California. The winery's tasting experience is warm and inviting, with walk-ins welcome daily from 11:00 to 6:00. Visitors can explore the cellar, lounge, and patio, and enjoy live music during Community Nights, where local bands rehearse after hours. The winery also offers wine tastings and has a relaxed Sonoma-style hospitality. Longboard Vineyards is committed to flexibility and continuous improvement, encouraging customers to provide feedback and offering an online shop with account creation for seamless shopping experiences. Oded's personality shines through in every aspect of the winery, reflecting his down-to-earth yet refined approach to winemaking, which he shares with visitors through "Talk Story" sessions, where he engages in conversations about wine and encourages guests to trust their own palates.
