Responding to current "Green" trends in tourism, Murphy-Goode is opening a tasting room located at 20 Matheson Street in the town center of Healdsburg, Sonoma County, California on May 1, 2008.

The relocation to Healdsburg from several miles out of town saves visitors to the winery from a trek into Alexander Valley, and based on weekly average visitor counts to the old facility, this change will save about 75 gallons of gas a week!
