During our annual spring trip to Sonoma we visited one of our Favorite wineries. This time Gianna was our host at both the tasting room and a must do tour and lunch at the winery. We learned so much about how the wines are made and the surroundings were lovely. Starting with a sparkling wine and ending with a taste of our favorite wine made the experience magical. Whether in the tasting room or at the winery- the service is impeccable and the wines tasty. Last - the wine club is one of the best !!!! read more

Wandered in around 5pm on a Friday evening. Since most tasting rooms in Healdsburg close at 5pm, Hawley is one of the few that stay open until 6. We lucked out and they were not super busy and could work us in with a tasting. Anna was our host and wine guide. We talked wine from Hawley's offerings to everywhere else in the world. We liked Anna and the wine so much that we bought some Future wine as well as a bottle of Pinot Noir to enjoy at dinner later that night. Very exciting to buy "future wine" since I've never done that before. It's their Home Blend Red which is a blend of Zin, Petit Sirah, Cab Franc and Malbec. It's a lovely wine that I thought was very nice when we tasted it ... so pretty excited to see how well it turns out once it is officially released. CHEERS! read more

I've been coming here for well over a decade and while I don't see the family as often in the tasting room I know they continue to deliver amazing grape juice with their Pinot being my favorite. The hospitality matches the amazing wine. Visit, enjoy, and join the club. read more

Loved the tasting experience at Hawley! The host and wine guide was so very knowledgeable and provided perfect tastings. I can't say I didnt enjoy any of them - all were great. Will definitely be back if in the area again. read more

So we're strolling along the square, downed way too much bbq, and saw this small wine shop. We really need a palate cleanser, right? Just looking around, yeah, sure. Cheryl, the tasting room lead, was so friendly & knowledgeable, and invitingly unpretentious. The place is small & cozy, maybe room for 6 people comfortably. To the right is the wall of wines, to the left is comfy seating, and straight ahead the tasting bar. We decided to go for the tasting. The selection was 4 local wines, Dry Creek Valley & Russian River Valley. 3 were gold metal winners. The tasting consisted of Viognier, Pinot, Zin, & Petite Sirah. The only one I didn't like was the Zinfandel, but taste is so subjective. Not surprisingly, we bought a bottle. The winner? Viognier. Turns out it's from Hawley Vineyard. Now I can drop a few fancy words at the next wine ordering opportunity. read more

What a lovely experience at Hawley Winery. We were lucky to visit when Austin the winemaker was in the tasting room with his dog June-bug. The wines were fantastic. Loved the Viognier, Chardonnay, and the Malbec was perfection. We joined the club and can't wait to come back. read more

As we wandered the Healdsburg square on a Saturday in May, we stumble upon this tasting room. Located off the north west corner of the square just across from The Chalkboard. The patio wasn't full at the time so we walked in to inquire about a tasting. A table on the patio was available. I can't remember the young girl who poured for us. She was pleasant and new great information about the wines she was pouring. The pours were generous and I needed her to give up a little more time to savor. For $15 our 4 glass flight included- 2020 Estate Rosé $26. Light and bright with a watermelon essence. 2018 Viognier $32. Crisp white wine 2018 Pinot Noir $52. From Oehlman Vineyard 2018 Old Vine Zinfandel $38 Great patio for sipping wine and people watching. Just a block to the west is a free large parking lot. read more

Let me tell you about this special place. First of all we had a not good but great wine tasting experience in their shop Healdsburg. The wine was fantastic. The woman working that day, sorry I don't remember her name, was excellent and mad our experience really personable. I bought a bottle of the sparkling Viognier and fell in love. I had a trip planned to send and drink these two bottles with my best friend in San Antonio, Texas for dia de Los Muertos when my friends mother went to er right before I was to arrive I had to give up my trip. In my grief while visiting my dad in Plano, tx I find out the winery is doing everything in its power to get the wine there by the 31st. Hawley Winery is top notch in all aspects! You won't be disappointed. 2019 Estate Zinfandel SKU: 88884295-0094 wine | alcohol %: 14.80 | 750.00ml 1 $46.00 $46.00 2023 Sparkling Viognier read more

A very small, but quaint tasting room that you might miss walking in Healdsburg square! But those are the best, especially if another great place (Thumbprint Cellars) recommends them. We were entertained and hosted by Brianna, one of the most enthusiastic wine staffers we've ever met! We tried a number of their wines including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir, which were all good. Our favorites were Viognier and Zinfandel, which we bought two bottles each of. The walls are covered with Dana Hawley's art, which is very bright and vibrant, so we bought a print. Come for wine, enjoy the art! That should be their tagline, ha ha! It is a cool spot with nice folks, good wines, and a great experience! read more

We were wandering around Healdsburg square waiting for our dinner reservation and stumbled upon the open door to Hawley Winery Tasting room. The tasting was $20 for 4 wines. A viognier, Pinot noir, Zinfandel, and Cab Sauvignon. All the wines were very good. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable about the wines and the art work on the walls. read more

One word: Brianna!!! We just left the tasting room and she was hands down amazing. We had gone to a tasting earlier that day and it was not the experience we were looking for. When we arrived at Hawley, we were immediately given a 5 star experience. It was casual but personal, with all the elements of a private tasting. Brianna was knowledgeable, but approachable. She ensured all of our questions were answered. She also let us revisit wines we were interested in purchasing. Overall, it was our favorite experience of the day and we highly recommend! read more

Excellent service, the people working there are very friendly and informative. Our server was very knowledgeable about the wines- sorry forgot his name but he had an Ed Sheeran style to him. We were served four different tastings and they were all pretty good - all vraies sourced organically from Their own fields or from Neighboring towns read more

Not enough stars!! Wine club member for many years took family and friends to pick up our club shipment and also for a wine tasting for our group of 7. My experience at the Hawley tasting room has always been great, not just the wines but all of the staff that has taken care of us throughout the years. This experience was different as Cheryl (not sure of the spelling) took care of our group. Not only was her knowledge and service above and beyond what you would expect at a wine tasting but her wit and humor was amazing. Her ability to blend in to our conversational atmosphere was terrific and hearing her life experiences was very endearing. Hats off to the Hawley family for their excellent wines (as usual) and for the Cheryl hire. read more

Such a good vibe. Met two of the wine makers and the beautiful rescue Junebug. I will be back. Loved the wines

Small, artsy, and cozy tasting room. Comfortable chairs outside like you are sitting at a porch. Their chairs are handmade. They were wine barrels!!! Inside the walls are finely decorated with beautiful paintings. My favorite is how the use the barrels panels and create lovely sceneries. Very creative. Been here 2x. Always a fun treat. Staff are always welcoming and kind. Details are everything to them... My last visit here was for Barrel Tasting 2017 with the Wine Road Event and I also had the opportunity to meet the wine maker. read more

Long overdue update! The only reason to not like this place is because all the wines are too good!!! I can't decide which one is my favorite, but the rose and Pinot noir are amazing. Zach and both the Jordans are awesome and will always greet you with a friendly smile (and some wine obviously!) Cheers! read more

A real treat - I can't believe how much I like their viognier! Definitely recommend trying this one.

**NICE WINES, BORED STAFF** It was a Tuesday. I didn't expect the wine pourer to jump up and down to see us. But he looked extremely bored and that was a buzz kill. Cheer up, buttercup. The wines we tasted were solid. Nice tasting room. I especially liked and strongly recommend the 2005 Cab (Dry Creek) for $36. RECOMMEND if you like cabs. read more

My brother has been a wine club member here for a couple years and after a recent family vacation when he brought a bottle of Ohleman Pinot my husband and I were dying to go to their tasting room. We went on Mothers Day and it was very quiet inside. The guy behind the counter was super attentive and made sure we had a great tasting. All the art in the tasting room is painted by the matriarch of the family (so I hear). Literally every single varietal we tried we loved. I'm a huge white/rose fan and their suav, rose, chardonnay, and viognier were all hits with me. My husband loved the Ohlmen Pinot, of course but we also enjoyed their Zinfandel, too. We ended up buying a case so we could enjoy their wine for a couple months. If you haven't been to Hawley I highly recommend giving it a try. read more

Excellent wine and tasting room. Brianna was absolutely lovely! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us so comfortable. Very enjoyable and highly recommend! read more

John was top notch! Helpful, funny and knowledgeable. We had a fantastic tasting experience with great wines and friendly locals.

This is definitely one of our absolute favorite tasting rooms not just on the square but in Healdsburg in general! Always great service and amazing wine, along with awesome art to peruse while you taste! I can't recommend this tasting room enough!!!! read more

Jamie was an amazing guide to becoming a wine club member for the first time! She took her time explaining everything to us, and really got to know my palate very quickly. She was kind and not pushy at all which is what I prefer in a sales person. We left with four bottles including a reserve petit sera that made me a believer. I only drink tequila and Hawley made me fall in love with wines. We went on Valentines Day and drove up there from Culver City, CA and without an appointment we were able to just walk in and were treated like family. I'm so thankful Hawley was my first intro to Sonoma read more

The workers here were friendly and knew their stuff. Wines were decent; I've had better in Napa. Cool pictures on the wall that the owner's wife paints. read more

Honestly not impressed... though both interior and exterior are super cute, the tasting room had a great vibe but wines weren't as good as expected and very limited. During our tasting that we PAID for, the pours were so small, literally have never been poured so little wine at a tasting before in my life! It must have been one sip..? Not only was the wine disappointing, we did not receive ANY direction, history, commentary, or conversation during the tasting. I couldn't tell you one thing I learned from the tasting there. Who knows?? It was the strangest experience and my group and I felt like we missed out on the wine tasting experience that is so informative generally. I left disappointed and do not think I would return after this poor experience. read more

Hawley's viognier used to be divine. I don't know if my taste buds have changed or if the wine is just different now, but today all of it was extremely sweet. The gal who poured for us (blonde hair, dramatic eyelashes) spoke to my friend and I as if we had never tasted a drop of wine (not the case here as we are both from Sonoma County and have been drinking wine for 10 + years). After the 3rd wine/taste we knew our taste buds were not a good match for Hawley wines. We very discreetly told the server that we weren't loving what we had tasted and that we thought it would be best to stop the tasting and not waste her time or the wine. In response she raised her voice and unfortunately made a bit more of a scene than we had hoped. Other guests around us started staring (which we were trying to avoid). It was very uncomfortable. After she took our glasses and went inside I walked in to leave her some cash gratuity and got the vibe- who knows, could totally be wrong- that her and the other employees were talking about the situation at hand. Again, it felt very uncomfortable. We all have different palates and tastes, and unfortunately that is something that is not recognized here. read more

Great wines! Staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. You have to try the petite sirah and the viognier. Their zin is great as well. It's one of our favorite wineries! --the Duke of Hawley read more

Hawley sh*t! Now THIS is some excellent wine! We spend a fair amount of time wine tasting and the Dry Creek Valley has quickly become one of our favorite places to imbibe in Sonoma County Wines. Hawley's tasting room is right on the square and while some might be under the impression that they need to venture out to the vineyards to taste an excellent Zin, that is simply not the case here. We were turned on to Hawley by our dear friends who are also members. They gifted us a lovely bottle of the 2012 Ponzo Zin. It was definitely love at first swirl and sip and we knew that whenever we were back in town, we had to stop in to do a tasting. We ventured in one day and were happy to find very warm, friendly, knowledgeable folks who were very passionate about their product. Hawley makes both beautiful, full whites and reds - their Viognier being one of my favorite whites. To be honest, we haven't tasted a wine here that we haven't enjoyed which is why it took us just minutes to sign up for their wine club. Other favorites are their Chardonnays (french oak), the Petite Syrah, and their Pinot Noir. The tasting room, which is decorated with (local artist) Dana Hawley's paintings, is modern and welcoming. It's open until 6pm which is nice since many of the wineries in the area close at 4:30 or 5pm. Do not miss Hawley when you're in Healdsburg. Just be prepared to leave there with a few bottles, a toasty buzz, and possibly a wine club membership... I speak from experience. read more

When we stumbled into Hawley after a recommendation from Portulapi, we were happy we did so. The room itself is worth the stop! All the hand carved wood--surrounding the barrel-made bar in the middle of the room, the tasting bar, and the walls is beautiful. The wood gives this place a super relaxing, comfortable cozy wine tasting environment. The staff here was not your typical in-your-face, super-upseller, super high energy and friendly type of pourer-- but she was very helpful, sweet and laid back which was kind of nice for a change. A lot of their wine was good--at this point my palette was getting a little frazzled, but really, come on-- I still knew the difference between good and bad! Once again, we made yet another purchase-- the 2010 Viognier and our tasting was comped. Cute little space, right off the square (across the street from Cyrus) and extra perk is there is a public restroom right next door to their tasting room-- woo hoo! read more

First visit to Healdsburg Square and ended up in the Hawley Winery Tasting Room. For $5, you get to sample five different wine varieties (seems like a steal of a deal after going to the Harvest Festival where 1oz pours were between $2-3). Since it was Monday, the town was fairly quiet, as was the tasting room. Inside, liked the personal attention and the artsy, casual atmosphere. Walked away with a great, well-aged bottle of 2003 merlot, priced fantastically at $20! Can't wait to go back to the resort and enjoy it with...will need to think about the pairing later but I'm sure it'll be delicious :) read more

A family run winery and tasting room provided a great tasting experience a stones throw from our hotel. The tasting room is right off the sqaure in Healdsburg on North Street. The wines we enjoyed the most were the Viognier, the Pinot Noir, the Zinfadel and the Cab. The tasting room is comprised of art work from the wife of the winemaker as well. The tasting room makes really good use of recycled barrel staves, almost everywhere you can think. Wonderful tasting options while in Healdsburg. read more

Hawley is awesome. It's a very relaxed environment with super friendly people pouring the wine. We went to Banshee around the corner before. Banshee is certainly more hip inside but so loud I could barely hold a conversation with my friend. Hawley's was the complete opposite. We sat outside on a beautiful day sipping wine. Francesco poured our wine and came outside to sit with us for a while. We had a great time-- I'd go back in a second! The wine was delicious and not too pricey. I bought a few bottles of the petite Syrah. The tasting fee was waived with purchase. read more

Hawley is, without a doubt, one of the best wineries in Sonoma County! They are family owned and it is clear that the owners genuinely care about every detail that goes into their wine and tasting room. The tasting room has a great atmosphere, very low key and dog friendly! I love all of their wines and especially love the pinots and the new vermouth tastings! Their staff is so knowledgeable and seem to really love what they're doing! BONUS: Most of their wines are organic and they only buy from family owned, local vineyards! read more

Very cute and artsy tasting room. Friendly, artistic staff and a slight above average flavors of wines. I instantly became a fan of their 2013 Viognier future because it was so easy and refreshing. Had been sampling reds all day so it was nice to find a subtle fruitful white to change up the palate. They had a very peppery Zin on trial, paired with a skirt steak this Zin would find its home. During the tasting their was also a sampling of some sausages which I paired with their strong oaky Cab. The tasting room is filled with art from the wife of the winemaker: oil paintings, water brush, photos. Wine bar is made from barrel pieces. I met the artist and praised the idea of having an art gallery setup in their tasting room. Drinking wine while being visually stimulated all while eating sausages... how can you not stop by this tasting room. read more

Stop! It's Zin time. That's it in a nutshell for this place. Oh, they were very kind to some friends of mine and showed them around the winery (I have never been there)....The mom, Anna, Austin and John are the absolute nicest people. I love everything about this wine, but don't expect to find it outside of Healdsburg! Just go up there! You'll see..... read more

It was okay. nothing really spectacular that popped out. Liked that they had a little pub height table where we can sit and talk while tasting. The 1 server was much more engaged with the other 1 customer she talked to then our party of 5 tasting. read more

I don't think I did this place justice and was able to take everything in. This was our 4th place to taste and I might have been a little tasted out. On that note, I will be back and this place will be 1st on my list. What I loved about Hawley was that it's a small winery and it's family run. Not only is it family run, but these people are more talented than the Wayans. I don't remember details but it was something like one relative paints, someone does woodwork, and then you throw wine in there and it's like family magic. The tasting room isn't very big. In fact, I can't think of any tasting rooms in Healdsburg that are very large. I think the overall niche here is smaller boutique wineries. Anyway. I highly recommend this place. Step outside of the Kendall Jackson norm and try something new. I think you'll like it. read more

Good wines, friendly people! Loved their barrel door. So creative! People were asking the employees to walk through it! Haha! read more

We found this place when we were walking around Healdsburg beginning our wine tasting adventures. The Hawley Tasting room is welcoming and there is a ton of woodwork to look at. The tasting room hostess was great and really fun to talk to. We picked up some ideas for dinner, too! We did one of the longer wine flights since we had a discount coupon. The wines were quite good and we ended up buying a few bottles. The hostess recommended that we check out Portalupi so that's where we ended up next! read more

It was The Storm of The Century this past weekend in beautiful Sonoma County when my friends I arrived to celebrate my 30th birthday. While managing to stay dry Friday and parts of Saturday, Sunday proved to be the worst day. Lo and behold, we found ourselves in the Hawley tasting room- one of the only rooms to stay open in what the locals thought was an insane torrential downpour. Frank, our happy-go-lucky wine pourer, was obviously really impressed and taken by the wines he served here. His enthusiasm was infectious and we found ourselves really enjoying the experience as the storm raged outside and the panicked locals came in to drink. We ended up staying for some glasses of the zinfandel and left with many a bottle of wine. Highly recommend! read more
