Roth Winery Tasting Room
This property on Chalk Hill Road – a simple but iconic agrarian building punctuated by six dormers and a main entry that sits at the mid-point along the facade of the long, narrow building – was originally part of the Chalk Hill estate. The underutilized structure, once called “Buzz Barn,” functioned as barrel storage until it was purchased by Bill Foley as the new home of Roth Wines. Nordby Construction and Nordby Wine Caves converted the existing building to accommodate full wine production and hospitality, and added a new cave that provided additional hospitality and barrel storage.Location: Healdsburg, CA
