Hafner Vineyard We are a small family winery in Alexander Valley near Healdsburg making Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec & Rosé. We are open by appointment.
(1)

We are three generations working together at the winery and are committed to remaining small and making high quality, value-priced wines. We achieve that by careful, hands-on managing of vineyard and winemaking. Parke Hafner has been our winemaker for all of our 31 harvests. A University of California, Davis graduate, he has worked at wineries in Napa Valley and France's Burgundy. Each year Parke makes our wines only from grapes we grow here at the winery. In our caves, we age our wines longer than most other wineries and that gives them fuller aromas and softer bouquets. Scott Hafner, an alumnus of Louis M. Martini Winery and The Sharper Image, manages the sale of Hafner wine exclusively to our patrons and leading California Restaurants, but not to any stores. Friendly service that is swift, dependable and personal is our mantra. Call us and you'll often get a Hafner on the phone. Wine is meant to be enjoyed, adding pleasure to life, and that is our goal for the wines we make at Hafner Vineyard.

For 41 years, we’ve welcomed a French enology student into Parke and Sarah’s home for the summer to work at the w**ery, and this year was no exception.

Hugo Cases arrived on July 12 and, before long, he was part of the family. He jumped right into life at Hafner, working in the cellar through bottling and harvest, with a little tree trimming thrown in for good measure.

Of course, we also introduced him to some essential American cuisine: chips on a sandwich and root b**r floats. Watch to see his reaction. 🇫🇷🇺🇸

He taught us French food etiquette.

And he set a new record for the Donut Hole Competition… 35! 🤯

We’re going to miss you, Hugo.

We kicked off Cabernet Harvest today! The quality looks great. We also pressed and dug out our first tank of Malbec, meaning that w**e is on its way to the caves for aging. It’s an exciting time!

We thought we knew how to eat. Then Hugo, our French intern, showed up. 🇫🇷
He shares a few French food rules, one very serious sandwich offense and a reminder that apparently W**emaker Parke has some things to learn.
Proceed with caution. 🥪👀

W**e cocktails? Absolutely. 🍷🍋

After spending time in Bordeaux, Grace fell in love with the French tradition of apéro: w**e, simple snacks, and good conversation that can stretch well beyond dinner.

She’s sharing a few of her favorite w**e cocktails here along with her favorite pro tip: freezing w**e into ice cubes so your cocktail doesn’t get watered down.

Earliest harvest on record! We began picking Chardonnay for our sparkling w**e on August 1 and continued for still Chardonnay on August 13 through this week.
The early harvest is a product of an early spring, rain and heat during flowering, smaller yields, and a remarkably cool summer. The Chardonnay is showing nice flavor intensity at lower sugar levels.
It’s a busy time in the cellar, with picking beginning at 3 am, but we’re already feeling optimistic about this vintage.
On our blog, W**emaker Parke shares the full harvest report.

Harvest is here! We kicked off our sparkling harvest this morning at 2am, the earliest we’ve ever started.

Yields are low this year, but the fruit looks exceptional.

Making our Blanc de Blancs takes more work and extra care. Every cluster is handpicked, then hand-loaded into the press. We use a gentler press cycle, extracting less juice to ensure we maintain the bright, crisp and delicate flavors for our sparkling w**e.

Summer means bottling! And all the excitement (and a little nervous anticipation) that comes with it.

For our cellar team, bottling is one of the most nerve-racking times of the year. It’s our last moment with a w**e before it ages in bottle and then makes its way to your table. It’s a time when no matter the work you do or the team you’re on, we all help when needed, even Scott rotated in “on the line”.

Summer also means… no school! Which occasionally brings the fourth generation, Marie and Cole, to the bottling line. They might help “Auntie Gracie” and Ricardo check bottles, push completed pallets alongside their grandfather Parke or serve popcorn to the team during break.

Being a family business means the rhythm of the w**ery is woven into the rhythm of our family. And bottling is one of those moments when generations and teams come together. (Swipe to the end to see Cole now vs Kate/me in 1990)

Every bottle is the result of patience and attention to detail.

We’re bottling our 2025 Chardonnay. This is a moment when focus, consistency, and attention to every detail matter. While the work is repetitive, there’s no room for shortcuts. Every step is crucial in ensuring that the w**e is exactly what you have come to expect by the time it reaches your table.

Take a behind-the-scenes look at the bottling process.

W**emaker Parke Hafner and his daughter Grace are out in the vineyard checking on the grapes. They are looking at the crop load, the development of the grapes and the canopy. Although the yield is potentially light but excellent quality.

From coast to coast, we are grateful that Hafner w**es seem to have a way of finding beautiful places, delicious meals and wonderful people.

We're always amazed to see where our w**es travel, whether it's a backyard happy hour in the Bay Area, a beach vacation in Puerto Rico, a pizza dinner in Manhattan, a quintessential Summer evening outside of Boston, or a dinner table right here in Sonoma County.

This summer, we'd love to see where you're enjoying Hafner w**es. Share a photo and tag us, send us a DM, or email your pictures to us ([email protected]). Your photo might even be featured in a future post!

Wherever your summer takes you, don't forget to pack a little Hafner.
