Sonoma Wine Tasting at our Sebastopol Winery

Make sure you are at our black wrought iron gate. It has a wire deer fence with wood posts on both sides to keep deer out of our Pinot Noir vineyard. The keypad is on the 2nd wood post to the left of the gate. Call the phone number printed above the keypad. We will open the gate for you. The gate stays closed, so the deer don't eat our grapes or vines.

It's a 90-minute Sebastopol wine tasting experience. You will be served 8 different wines, each of which are paired with a bite size delectable food pairing. And each Sonoma County wine varietal is presented with an explanation of where the fruit was grown and how it was made.

We are a small production Sonoma winery. We have parking for cars, SUVs and vans, but not for limos or buses. If you are arriving in a limo or bus, please have them drop you off at the gate on Burnside Road. Our driveway will not accommodate larger vehicles. Please park buses or limos by our gate on Burnside Rd. leaving enough room for cars to pass and walk down the driveway. If you have a smaller car and there's no room in the driveway, park on the dirt road in front of our estate winery, beside the sign like this:

Yes, and there is no charge. But we need to know in advance so please enter those details in the Special Requests box when you book your wine tasting or call us at (707) 738-8383 so we can make sure they are comfortable.

We are a small production Sebastopol winery hosting intimate wine tasting salons for small groups. If your wine tasting group is larger than 8, please call us (707) 738-8383 to make sure we can accommodate you appropriately.

Yes. None of the food and wine pairings have gluten in them so that you can stay on your gluten-free diet without missing out on anything.

No. We serve cheeses with our Sonoma wines so it is not a lactose free wine tasting experience. So, unfortunately, our lactose-intolerant guests will miss out on some of the pairings. For our complete menu, check the previous link.

We discourage guests from bringing young children. Our Russian River Valley Wine Tasting Sonoma County experience lasts 90 minutes and that’s a long time for a young child to sit unattended. We love kids. We have our own. But children and wine are not 100% compatible, and as a courtesy to all guests, we prefer to keep our Sebastopol wine tasting experience to guests 21 and over.

If your dog is friendly and socialized, then definitely. Our Sebastopol winery is entirely fenced and our African Basenji dog – a nonshedding, hypoallergenic dog – enjoys other pups and is an excellent host. All dog visitors are automatic lifetime members of the Halleck Vineyard Sebastopol Winery Dog Club.

Unfortunately, we are not a wheelchair-compliant winery. It is possible to wheel around to the side of our deck, but there are 2 steps you need to get up to access the deck. We do not have a ramp. Also, our bathroom is not wheelchair accessible.
