This winery is a bit off the beaten path but well worth the stop if you like a good pinot noir. On our visit, it seemed frequented by those who know their wines. This is where we chose to picnic. It was great to enjoy the tastings with our lunch. Very friendly staff.

On a Thanksgiving weekend tour of high-end wineries in Sonoma and Napa valleys, Hartford Court was our second stop, and it set a high bar. The tasting room at the winery is relatively small and comfortable, warm and inviting. The wines are some of the better ones we tasted on our trip, beginning with the Chardonnay, progressing to about three... More

Beautiful building and grounds. Recommended to us by the folks at Merry Edwards in Graton (north of Sebastopol). Excellent pinot noir, with a number of other good varietals. The owner is the daughter of the late Jess Jackson of Kendall-Jackson. Apparently he started what is now the Hartford Family Winery as a “high end” division of K-J but daughter took... More

My wife and I booked a box lunch with our wine tasting. Great choice. Lunch was excellent with the wine tasting throughout the meal. Restful seating on their patio with fantastic views. They spent time telling us about their various viineyards. Sonoma wineries seem to have more time to spend on 1 on 1 discussions than Napa wineries. Great wine.... More

This winery in the Russian River area was such a pleasant surprise. It is a little off the beaten path but worth going to! They specialize in single vineyard Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Old Vine Zinfandel. Every wine that I tried was very good across the board, in fact I ended up joining their wine club! The area for wine... More

Stopped in for a wine tasting and loved it. If your in the Russian River area, stop in and have a taste. Yes it was nice. Liked the view and would stop in again if i was in the area. I liked the Zin. You might like something else, but im sure they have something for you.

Nice place, off the beaten path. The tasting host was very nice and informative. I had an online coupon for 15% off my purchase and complimentary tastings, which I couldn't pull up on phone there, but he honored it anyway. Great RRV pinots, so I bought...
