Partake by K-J

This was well worth the time and money. Take some time and actually enjoy wine the way you'd normally be drinking it - with food. KJ's Partake is designed to show off some of Kendall-Jackson's wines which are of high quality, to contrast them with the wines that they produce in volume. We went with the flight that offered five pairings of wines and foods (appetizers, a small main course sampling, and dessert). The staff was knowledgeable, and made it a fun start with a blind taste test. I guessed the Chardonnay correctly. Glad it wasn't a Gewurtz. Probably designed that way to help us non-experts. The food was obviously prepared by someone with a good culinary prep background. We bought some of the late harvest Chardonnay, which was one of the flight wines. Reservations are done online. Be sure to make them a day early (or more if a busy season), as there are limited slots for the flights.

A dining experience! I had the good fortune of being served by Max and Earl. They were very knowledgeable about the food and wine and explained how the pairings brought out the flavor of the food.  The food was fantastic! Everything we tried was superb and the portions were just right allowing us to sample more food..and wine.  Compliments to the chef. If you are in Healdsburg, put this place night on your itinerary

We were greeted with a blind tasting and appetizer when we sat down, which was a fun way to start the meal. The bread and oils were fantastic - would have been great to have a gluten-free option for my wife! We enjoyed our beet tartare, which was a different way to eat a beet and a tartare. The duck dish was fantastic - the pate was creamy and the loin was perfectly cooked. The wine pairings were a fun way to play with the different menu options. We ended with the blueberry chocolate desert, which was divine. It is still a new restaurant and the food took a little while to come out, so it felt like they were still working out some of the kinks. All in all, a good experience at a reasonable price.
