About Flanagan Wines
Flanagan Wines occupies a private hilltop estate above Dry Creek Road with sweeping views that stretch across the entire Dry Creek Valley to the eastern hills beyond. Founded in 2006 by John Flanagan, the winery focuses on small-lot, handcrafted production without the crowds and reservation pressures of more well-known Healdsburg neighbors.
The setting is genuinely spectacular, on clear days the views rival any in Sonoma wine country, and the appointment-only format ensures that every visitor receives personalized attention from the tasting team. The wines focus on Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir from carefully selected Sonoma County vineyard sources.
Flanagan positions itself as Sonoma elegance without the pretension, a serious wine estate that prioritizes the personal connection between visitor, host, and wine over theatrical experiences or elaborate infrastructure.
At its Healdsburg, Sonoma County location, Flanagan Wines presents a featured lineup that includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Estate Red Blend. Together, these bottles provide a focused introduction to the varieties, vineyard sources, and style that define the winery's current portfolio.
