Wine punctuates and enhances special moments. We are grateful to make it and share.  Please read, learn, enjoy, and by all means, join us. We welcome you.

We planted the Halleck Vineyard in 1993, the very first in the hills of Sebastopol, in western Sonoma County. It was intended as a college fund for our infant son. Two more sons and six years later until our first harvest, this seemed a flight of fancy.

A one acre site, Halleck Vineyard is perched above the Russian River watershed and flanked on the west by the slopes to the Pacific Ocean. It commands an expansive view of the rolling Sonoma County hills to the northeast.  A passion for Pinot led the charge.

Then in 2002, we earned #1 Pinot in the United States for the first wine from our Estate.

A community began assembling around our family of wines. We were inspired to contribute and participate. We worked with charities to create wine experiences-money-can’t-buy to support our world. It’s the most meaningful part of this work.

In 2019, Halleck Vineyard was again judged “BEST OF CLASS” in the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, the largest competition in North America.  Sunset Magazine anointed the Halleck Vineyard Little Sister Sauvignon Blanc “BEST OF CLASS” in the United States, and the California State Fair judged their Dry Gewurztraminer #1 White Wine in California.

While we’re grateful for the recognition, it doesn’t mean you’ll like our wines. We invite you to try them. We invite you to join us in making the world a better place.  We invite you into our community.
