Visiting Hamel Family Wines
Your experience will be privately led by an Estate Ambassador, and includes a tour and wine tasting, and can include food pairings. For our non-wine drinkers, we are happy to offer a “dry” tasting so that you may enjoy the experience with others.
Estate Experience
The Hamel Family Wines Estate Experience begins with a privately-guided tour through our Hamel Family Ranch vineyard, winery and adjacent cave. After an in-depth look into our winemaking practices from vineyard to bottle, the tour culminates with a seated tasting of four Estate Series Wines. Enjoy sweeping views of Sonoma Mountain and the valley below while tasting Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and Isthmus, a Cabernet Sauvignon blend, as well as a Library Cabernet Sauvignon. A light snack, created by our Executive Chef, of house-made Ricotta cheese sprinkled with Sonoma Coast Sea Salt served with crackers, further complements your experience.
