A friend had booked us a tasting experience at Halleck and its easily one of our top tasting experiences yet! The property is beautiful with a nice little open area and views for days! Even the drive through the trees feels enchanted. David was the best. He took us on a journey and you could tell he knew his stuff. We also had a chance to meet one of the owners which was a nice bonus. The experience itself is intimate because you're with multiple people at your table but you get to experience it together. The food pairings were also delicious. Ok wine time. This was THE best Gewürztraminer I've ever had. Like, you could have a bottle of this easily on your own. We even took a few home to try with Indian food, and it was delicious. Another hit was their Zin which was interestingly like a strawberry rose but again, very easy and tasteful to drink. I cannot wait to go back because I need more of that Gewürztraminer! read more

Alison was amazing! She was so welcoming and explained all the wines so well. This was my first winery experience and it set the bar high for any future experience. Also loved that David made an appearance! You could really tell that they are passionate about what they do and it really elevated the experience! read more

Tried to book on the website. It was intermittent. Called both numbers, different in yelp and their website. Voicemails. Noticed they started at 3pm and had 17 spots available. Decided to show up and try our luck. Got there at 3:05. They (David?) wouldn't open the gate and we were told they were full. Road is horrible. Motion sickness should be a concern. Hope your experience is better. Update: went to Fogcrest instead. Wonderful experience. read more

Wonderful place - wine has gotten much more expensive there in last few years though.

Had a really nice time with my family here for our first tasting in Sebastopol! David was a knowledgeable guide offering interesting insights and answering our questions throughout the tasting. The tasting was inside and we were the only ones in the house making it an intimate experience that my group and I really enjoyed. We tried both white and red wines and there were small bites that accompanied some of the tastes. I loved the wine and left with several bottles in hand. I also ended up gifting one of the bottles I'd purchased to my partner's parents who usually don't like wine but they loved the taste. Next time I'm in the area I'll be back! read more

I drove up to Sebastopol on Halloween, ahead of a special wineroad.com weekend event, and thought I'd looking for a wine tasting opportunity on November 1st. After a bit of searching online, I came across Halleck Vineyard, which offered a wine and small bites event for $65; so, I made a reservation. The intimate experience took place inside the Halleck home on the property. Two couples I didn't know joined me; and, wow...the wines, especially the Pinot Noirs, were phenomenal! Alison hosted, and she was great at making us feel like we were a part of the family. The small bites chosen to pair with the wines were carefully selected and awesome! Besides Alison, Harris Miner, Director of Sales, also happened to be there, and they answered all of our questions. I was so impressed, I joined the Inner Circle Wine Club! About a week after, I received a Club email from the Vineyard about a complementary wine and food event to be held at the Amarano Hotel in Burbank, CA on 11/17 (this past Sunday). Since I live near the San Fernando Valley, I talked my Brother-In-Law into joining me. As we walked into the lobby, there was Harris! He brought a Pinot Noir and their Sauv Blanc ( both yum), and the food served to complement the wines was fantastic! I'm so happy about my decision to visit them on the 1st. If you're ever in Sonoma County, GO! Wishing Happy Holidays to Alison, Harris, the Hallecks, and everyone else associated with this amazing Vineyard. You can bet their wines will be on my Thanksgiving and Christmas tables this year, and in the future. (-: read more

I can't say enough great things about Halleck Vineyard! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with such warm, genuine hospitality--it felt more like visiting a friend's beautiful home than a typical tasting room. The service was truly exceptional, with knowledgeable hosts who made the experience feel personal, engaging, and relaxed. The views? Absolutely stunning. Nestled in the hills, the vineyard offers breathtaking scenery that perfectly complements the wines. It's the kind of place you want to sit and savor for hours. And the wine--wow. Each pour was better than the last, with thoughtfully crafted varietals that highlight the best of Sonoma. You can really taste the care and passion that goes into every bottle. If you're looking for an intimate, top-notch wine tasting experience with incredible service and unforgettable views, Halleck Vineyard should be at the top of your list. read more

Great experience! Intimate and fun! You actually are in the families house for the tasting. Great pairings! Highly recommended

David led our tasting last weekend and made it so much fun and so educational!! We loved the wine, the beautiful setting, and all of David's stories. He really lent a personal touch to the experience and made it easy for us to feel at home and join the wine club! read more

We really enjoyed our tasting at Halleck. It was our first stop on our Sonoma trip and quite possibly the best wine! Harris was wonderful, very informative and friendly!

We will definitely recommend this winery to our friends and will be back ourselves! read more

The wine tasting was incredible. Our sommelier, David, was a wealth of knowledge and took us on an incredible journey. This experience was both tasteful and informative. Thanks Halleck vineyard. read more

We've been inner circle members for more than two years now and couldn't be happier. We took our friends to a tasting this weekend and they were wowed by the flavors, the setting, and experience and Alison made us feel like valued customers and answered all of our questions. Perhaps the thing that keeps us coming back apart from the incredible wine pairings is that it feels like we are visiting people we know who are committed to their craft, great experiences, and good causes. Ross the owner almost always makes an appearance and wants to know more about you and your love of wine. You just don't get that with other wineries. read more

Highly recommend Halleck to anyone coming to the Sonoma area. David was so knowledgeable and entertaining. This intimate group setting in the very own home of the founder of Halleck wines was an experience like no other! Bonus points for the well curated food pairing menu. read more

Just finished a tasting here in Los Angeles. An excellent spread of their wines from top to bottom. Of course the best Pinot was the listed most expensive. $140 a bottle. Is it worth that price? Not sure, but it had the best nose and taste. However, California Pinot are thin body compared to Oregon's more robust Pinot. read more

We were fortunate to have a "private" tasting with Harris. He was knowledgeable and provided a perfect tasting menu! The Pinots and Chardonnay selections were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and I ended up joining their wine club ! It was a bit difficult to find the winery due to a small signage issue. But fortunately, Jennifer called in a timely manner which made it all worthwhile. Thanks Harris! read more

Lovely winery and tasting experience! Wines and pairings are delightful! Family-owned environment feels cozy and inviting.

The owner is very nice and hosts you at his house when he gives you a wine tasting and does not rush you. However, we had a yelp check in offer that allowed for free wine tasting for both me and my boyfriend. We did not tell him this until the end of the tasting. When we showed it, he said he had no idea that the promotion was going on and still charged us for one tasting ($35). We bought a bottle as well since we thought the tasting would be free. Anyway, if you get promos to this winery, be sure to tell them before you come in so that there are no surprises. read more
