Wingman Metrics
Walking into Little Saint, you don't expect a vegan restaurant in wine country to hit you with a list this serious — but here we are. The room is warm, design-forward, and smells like wood smoke and herbs, and the wine list arrives like a quiet mic drop. France and California share equal billing, and neither side is phoning it in.
Two hundred to three hundred labels is a lot of real estate, and Little Saint fills it with purpose. Burgundy anchors the French side with names like Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet and Leroy Bourgogne — not filler, not lip service, actual serious bottles. California holds its own with Littorai, Arnot-Roberts, Ridge Monte Bello, Kongsgaard, and Aubert, a lineup that reads like a Sonoma County hall of fame. The presence of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti tells you the ceiling is very high; the inclusion of producers like Arnot-Roberts tells you the list was built by someone who actually drinks wine, not just collects trophies. Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence since 2023 is deserved — this list earns it on the merits.
Twenty to thirty by-the-glass options is generous by any measure, and at $15–$25 a pour, the program sits at the premium end without being punishing. The range tracks the bottle list — expect Burgundy-leaning whites and California Pinots to dominate, with enough variety that you can drink differently across multiple courses. This is a glass program worth committing to rather than jumping straight to bottles.
Arnot-Roberts — $60–$80 (bottle estimate from list range)
Arnot-Roberts represents some of the most honest, terroir-driven winemaking in California, and at the lower end of Little Saint's bottle range, you're getting a wine that punches well above its price point in this company.
Leroy Bourgogne
Everyone's eyes go straight to the DRC listing, but Lalou Bize-Leroy's Bourgogne rouge is the sleeper on this list — village-level farming and biodynamic rigor at a fraction of the premier cru price, and it belongs at a plant-forward table like this one.
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
The DRC is here, and yes, it's real — but unless you're celebrating something life-altering, spending four figures on a bottle at dinner is a decision you'll rationalize more than enjoy. The list has extraordinary wines at a tenth of the price.
Littorai Pinot Noir + House-made pasta with foraged mushrooms
Littorai's earthy, Burgundian-style Pinot Noir mirrors the umami depth of foraged mushrooms without overwhelming the delicacy of the pasta — it's the kind of pairing that makes plant-based dining feel genuinely complete.
The Bottom Line
Little Saint is a legitimately exceptional wine destination that happens to serve vegan food — the sequence doesn't diminish either half. Send your most skeptical wine-drinking friend here and watch their assumptions quietly dissolve.
Montage Healdsburg hillside / resort core · Healdsburg · Hotel Bar / Wine Bar
Hazel Hill is legitimately one of the better resort wine programs in California wine country — deep list, proper staff, and a setting that earns the splurge. The markups are real and the vibe is unabashedly luxe, but if you're already in Healdsburg, this is worth the stop.

Matheson Street / Downtown · Healdsburg · Wine bar with small bites
Valette Wines at The Matheson is a single-producer wine bar that actually justifies the concept — the sourcing is legit, the prices are fair, and the Healdsburg plaza setting makes it an easy yes for a pre-dinner glass or two. Don't come expecting range; come expecting quality.

Downtown · Healdsburg · Wine Tasting Room
LIOCO is doing something genuinely uncommon in Healdsburg: making California wine that tastes curious instead of comfortable. If you're fatigued by the region's usual routine of ripe, oaky, and expensive, this is your detour.

North Healdsburg · Healdsburg · Resort Bar
Scout Field Bar is what happens when a luxury resort actually invests in its wine program instead of phoning it in — the list is deep, the producers are legit, and the setting makes everything taste better. Pricing is undeniably steep, but if you're already at Montage, you knew what you were signing up for.
