Hamel Grown on the western slopes of the Mayacamas, our wines express the energy of volcanic soil.

At Hamel Family Wines, we strive to make great wine and to have fun doing so. We value quality over quantity, enjoyment over tedium and fostering long-term recurring relationships with our guests. We work hard to produce the highest quality wines in limited quantities from grapes grown on our Sonoma Valley and Moon Mountain District estate vineyards. We farm our vineyards with organic and biodynam

We feel incredibly fortunate to have collaborated with over the past eight years to refine a holistic biodynamic approach attuned to our high-elevation volcanic terroir and Californian climate. This unique progression of embracing natural and regenerative inputs has brought a new level of vibrancy, depth, and balance to our wines. We could not be more grateful for the collaboration — has been a true inspiration.
