Hecker Pass Winery
Hecker Pass Winery is a family operated and owned vineyard that strives to create wines with true Italian character. The third generation vintner from Italy established the winery in 1972, where it was passed down through the family. The current generations are continuing to follow Old World traditions by hand picking grapes while using dry farming methods which produce natural wine at its finest. With no herbicides or pesticides used on their crops and wild yeast fermentation producing high quality wine, this small business exemplifies tradition as well as creativity for all those who visit them.

Hecker Pass Winery Reviews

Sarah's Vineyards is nestled in a cool climate region that provides the perfect environment for growing world class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The location also helps to mitigate sunny daytime temperatures while extending hang time on vines which gives grapes more opportunity to ripen fully before picking.

P & V Winery is a place for close friends and family to get together, enjoy handcrafted wines in the company of others, or host their own event. Founded by two best friends from high school, they craft great wines using Zinfandel as well as various other varietals. P & V Winery is built on a legacy farmstead with vineyards that has been updated into a welcoming gathering spot for hanging out with good people over handmade reds made solely from locally sourced fruit.

The Martin Ranch Winery is a family-owned and operated vineyard. They produce close to 10,000 cases under three award-winning labels: J.D. Hurley, Soulmate, and Thérèse Vineyards every year thanks in part to their wide variety of aromatic grapes. These include Cabernet Francs for rich tannic wines with lots of dark fruit flavor like blackberries or cassis, Merlots that are great for blending into Bordeaux style blends, and Nebbiolo which has a uniquely spicy character due its grape's Italian heritage.
