Hawk Ridge Winery

We went there for the very first time. The service (Kelly & Michelle) was excellent, the music was great and the Port Fig Jam & Ricotta Crostini by Uncommon Grill was amazing! Highly recommend and will definitely go back.

Greta service! Food and views! Live music, multiple food trucks and vendors! NO RESERVATIONS NEEDED! Also, multiple places to order wine from and they have beer on tap! Great vibe this weekend! Beautiful weather and the wrap around porch allows you to capture a beautiful sunset. So nice, we went twice this weekend!

The place was amazing! We tried the flights and all of them were delicious. We also had the cheese plate, which was really good. The view was beautiful and everything was excellent. I absolutely loved this vineyard!

What a place! Winery,picnic and restaurant. Getting there is tricky,but when you turn into the vrounds.OMG! What a site of beauty.You pass the vineyards to the parking area. Entrance like western tavern,infused with a Irish/Scottish pub. Inside eating and drinking is outstanding. Even got a loft. When you order your drinks ,it's amazing how the staff are so accommodating to all,and advise you the specials and array of thier home made wines and slushes.Not to mention the Food.We got the Pizza and Fries.Wow! Just right! Congrats to the chef. When you enter the back.tge scenery is to die for! Super serene and family accomodating.Kids friendly,And you it is American.Just by the large Eagle statue. The wines I give 4.5 to some and 5 star to other wines.I loved the Port. A must try all.you will not be disappointed. This is o e of the many wineries visited in CONNECTICUT. I rate this one 5 star +.

I love this place, beautiful scenery, delicious wines. I spent my birthday(8/8), anniversary, and Mother’s Day here. I plan to return this Wednesday for a girls day. I especially enjoyed myself this past Friday at Annie’s art party, we made a beautiful sunflower glass tumbler, Annie was so helpful, she played great music and just made us feel so comfortable. I will definitely return for another art class. If you haven’t been to hawks ridge you must! This place is a true Connecticut gem.

I love this winery! It’s one of the best. There is tons of outdoor and indoor space. The food & wine is decent. I always recommend this winery to everyone. We bring a few snacks & there a ton of food choices to choose from.

Everything about Hawk Ridge was great! The wine, the atmosphere, the staff. Their prices were reasonable. Beautiful view. Plenty of parking

Hawk Ridge winery is a favorite!! Beautiful winery and delicious wine. It’s a great for dates, girls get-togethers and they offer fun special events. I like that they have a kitchen with a variety of food selections, but you could still bring your own too. Always have a great experience there! 🍷😊

Probably THE best winery I've ever been too. The wine was flavorful, not over powering, yet subtle enough with the perfect punch on your taste buds. The outdoor seating area with views of the mountains and foliage were breathtaking and a great way to relax and enjoy the sunset. I usually only take 1 bottle to go from other places, here I took 3!!! I will definitely come back! And dogs are welcome Great time as always, especially on a Friday night! Not too many people, enough space, great sunset, flavorful wine (Shake Your Tail Feather) and a cozy atmosphere...BUT I waited 45 minutes for fried dough I ordered the pumpkin slushie and the fried dough combo for a festive treat. I would have saved the effort if I knew the kitchen was backed up.

I was in the state visiting family and we decided to check out a winery. We decided on this place and glad we did. It is so serene, spacious and relaxing. Beautiful property, plenty of free parking space. They offer inside and outside seating areas. Pets are welcomed. You can bring your own food. We tried the Soaring Hawk White Sangria and it easily so refreshing and delicious. We were able to sample a few others as well. Also, we tried the Fireworks slushie, I thought it would be sweet but surprisingly it was not, I liked it. Overall, a good place to check out on a beautiful evening with your significant other, your girls friends or as little family outing.

Enjoyed the location. Have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options. Great place to meet a friend or for small groups. Friendly staff. Got a wine flight, and you get to keep the glass (it's a part of your fee). Wines were just okay. I'm not sure any of the wines are grown on site, which is part of the draw of a vineyard for me. Only had the pretzel (with wine cheese and mustard; the mustard is delicious), but the rest of the food menu looked tasty, and I'd be interested in coming here to explore more options. For food, you place your order at the bar, and they text or call you. Gave it a 4/5 for the venue and food, not the wine.

I love coming up here - good wine with serene views. I love that you can bring your own food, but sometimes you don't have time for all that. They have enhanced their offerings with food options and you might think food at a winery can't possibly be that great, that's surely what I thought! The best part of coming here is that they offer GREAT food options at affordable prices! And I can still bring whatever snacks I desire to hang out on the lawn.

I totally forgot to write a review on Hawk Ridge Winery. I went back in October for my birthday. Hawk Ridge Winery is located in Watertown, Connecticut, a peaceful farm setting, in which to enjoy friends, family, and delicious wine. I was able to bring my own table and some appetizers for my birthday guest, which is allowed, but the appetizers cannot be on platters. I put my charcuterie items in a snack ziplock bag and brought my own platter dish wear. The atmosphere was beautiful and the wine slushes we're delicious. The lines to the bar were long but went by smoothly and fast. There were a couple of food trucks there selling a variety of food from pizza, barbecue, and other assortment of food items. It was a great day to enjoy the atmosphere and my birthday with my friends and family with delicious appetizers and drinks. I would definitely come back on a summer day to enjoy the scenery, great friends and family, and definitely a wine slushy.

While the venue offers a great view, having my daughter's bridal shower there was a huge disappointment . First I was charged an extra $100 because they changed there 25 people or more pricing AFTER I had booked the venue. Then moments before the shower started I was notified of a broken promise the GM Jeff knew was a dealer breaker. Had I known he could not accommodate me, I would have arranged for the caterer to be the needed third party. Lastly, despite confirming in an email that I would be charged for wine consumed by the bottle, I was instead charged by the glass which was 25% more expensive. There are other beautiful venues in the area. I highly recommend against trusting Hawk Ridge Winery as it seems they are all about just making a buck.

We were traveling to Boston, MA to drop our daughter off for school. I said that I'd like to visit a winery in every single state. So, I found this one and we stopped. Traveling here reminded me of visiting a winery that is out there. We arrived and not knowing anything. We went to the main stand after waiting in line. Stated what we wanted to sample and paid for it. We also were able to order food. The wines that we tried were all good. We ended up picking up a couple of bottles for home. If we were staying nearby and not traveling another 3-4 hours, I would have drank more. This was a good stop. I was doing what I do by taking a photo in front of the winery sign. I was doing the hawk stance of what I thought. A guy pulled up in a Tesla and said post this on Facebook. He introduced himself as the owner of the winery. I posted it on instagram and tagged his winery in on it. Overall great stop from the wine to the people that worked at the winery.

I've been to Hawk Ridge countless times over recent years. For work parties, birthday parties, graduation parties and many dates with friends for a bottle and a good time. I love how large this place is. In the summer it's packed- but you can always find a spot on the gorgeous lawn with a view, the inside tables, upstairs, under the tent, or tables on the deck. If you want to have an event you'll have to rent a table or two for a cost. The whole vibe and ambiance is beautiful and fun- in the summers they have live music sometimes and they often offer fun events like paint classes. I love that they offer food! Not many wineries have an extensive menu like this one. Great apps to share over a bottle like nachos, meat and cheeses, pizza and buffalo chicken dip. you can also bring your own food! the charcuterie board here is not that impressive so I recommend you bring ypur own if thats what your craving. As far as the wine- I've tried just about everything and I'm really not a fan of their reds. But i enjoy majority of their whites- my favorite is the Sassy Hawk. They have slushies in the summer too that are yummy. I'll never stop going here!!

We had the opportunity to visit Hawk Ridge on a beautiful afternoon. We loved the set up of Adirondack chairs which were comfortable as we took in the view. The wine was enjoyable, we just did not love how the flights were served in plastic cups. It would be nice to have the wine served in small carafes or cups for those who prefer that way.

Came here with coworkers and we really enjoyed our time. It was a beautiful April sunny Friday afternoon and the views, the wine and food were great. I loved that they have food options like Margherita pizza, truffle fries and more. There's plenty of seating and service was attentive and friendly. They come around and dispose of any trash you might have although there's plenty of trash cans that you can dispose yourself as well. Make sure to bring your ID as they check.

This place has something for everyone. You can sit inside, or out on the large porch, out back underneath the enormous pavilion, in an enclosed gazebo, or outside on an adirondack chair, at a picnic table, or on the soft green grass. They have a lovely selection of wines (of course ), alcoholic slushies, an assortment of beers, bottled water and more. You are allowed to bring your own food but not beverages for obvious reasons. There is often live music from local musicians which is and added bonus. Bathrooms are located inside the establishment along with outdoor porto potties. There is plenty of parking and space to roam. The views are beautiful no matter which side of the property you are on. There are views of the impressive vineyard, grassy hill, and lush treetops. The only things that missing are hammocks. I highly recommend Hawk Ridge. It's such a great place to relax and have a great time.

Loved the food, service, ambiance. Love Pet Friendly which is important to me. Views were spectacular! Full of social, nice people. Music great. Comfortable seating. Easy parking.

This is an averaged score. It was 4+ for the actual venue and facility but less than 2 for the extortionately overpriced sub-par wines. We were there for Mother's Day this past Sat with a bunch of family. Grounds and the building itself are beautiful (but VERY loud .. place was mobbed and the hardwood floors and high ceilings make it a racket inside). Counter service staff were super friendly, though .. couldn't have been nicer. Part that shocked me was .. the wine was just not good at all. And ridiculously expensive. All bottles over $30! Are they crazy? The merlot we got was $34! And it was terrible. Thin (no body, light in color), sour and somehow harsh all at the same time. The others who had the Rose in our group said it was thin and watery too. SO not impressed, but then again, most Connecticut wine sucks anyway. You go for the "winery experience". BIG rip-off here if you're actually going for the wine.

Got kicked out for my senior dog out in the deck. After purchasing 5 bottles of wine, 3 sangrias and a beer and sittingg there for 3 hrs, suddenly there's a problem? Wine sucks anyway.

Ambiance was amazing. If you like dry sweet wines there is plenty to delight in. The view from outside was so relaxing and peaceful. Perfect place to unwind.

I know this is a CT favorite! I've been here often and it's usually the preferred winery for most of my friends and family. Great wine with beautiful views! They offer lots of options for food, so if you forget your spread you can still make do. They also offer beer from two local breweries, so you can even have something to sip if you don't like wine! I've been to Woodbury Brewing and I enjoy both the lager and sour that is available here! I love getting a tasting flight because I enjoy many of their wines, then getting a bottle if I'll be there a while. Kind and helpful staff. The building inside is also beautiful with lots of seating and windows, perfect for my grandma to still enjoy her wine during the heatwave.

This is my second visit at the winery and I still do really enjoy this place. There are plenty of tables for seating indoors both upstairs and downstairs so you could distance yourself from others. It is beautiful and has some lovely wine and beer options and the service is great. You order your drinks and food at the bar and food is brought to your table after seating. This was my first time trying their food and I have to say it was okay. It was obvious the pizza served to us was a frozen pizza, but the sandwich wasn't too bad. Just a basic chicken sandwich with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a mayonnaise spread. Although, I have heard that some of their dips and appetizers are good so maybe I just picked the wrong items. The wine slushy was good though - if you are a fan of Pinot Grigio you will love it. Their wines (which are their main focus) have always been great.

This is a beautiful property and tasting room. Service is very efficient. You go up to the bar and order. I tasted 12 wines: 6 each white and red in record time and the place was busy on a Saturday early eve. My favorites were the Bourbon Barrel Red and their Chardonnay. We had chicken tenders and eggplant fries. Definitely above average. Food was piping hot. They know what they're doing here as is confirmed by the crowded tasting room. Bathrooms were spacious and clean. Definitely a fun place for an outing.

Oh my goodness! The mango pineapple wine slushy is to die for!!! The truffle waffle fries and burratta tray was delicious! The buffalo chicken dip was also good. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and the views from the entire property is picturesque. The staff that work the counter are very helpful & friendly! Oh I'll definitely be back very soon!!!!

Attended an event .. Women United.. at Hawk Ridge Winery on 7/11/23. It was the first time I attended an event in their Pavilion. I have been their many times before as a regular patron. ti enjoy a relaxing afternoon/evening enjoying thei beautiful view, assorted wine varietals, and light fare. This was the first organized event I participated in. Between the event's organizers and Winery's very capable staff.. I was impressed with all that was provided to guests that evening. The winery staff ( Jeff and his capable staff) were outstanding and delivered an excellent product. I highly recommend Hawk Ridge Winery for your future events

This is such a great spot. They have lots of fun events, music bingo, different paint nights, & some vendors too. Wide selection of wine and usually two frozen options as well. You can bring your own food or get food there, they have a few beers on tap if wine isn't your thing too. Lovely place to hang out outside when the weather is nice (watch out for dog poop if you park in the grass...some people are not good about picking up after themselves).

The experience at this venue was very inviting, serene and exciting at the same time. Service, staff, food, wine selection was on point. Appreciate the GM Jeff and the teams effort to put on this event for us.

One of my favorite wineries is Hawk Ridge. They offer 4 seasons of fantastic wine and fun spaces. I'm the winter you can cozy up in their building with the fire and the large main bar. During the warmer seasons you have the multiple outdoor spaces to add to the mix. You can bring you picnic gear and sprawl out on the lawn or jam out under the tent. If you can snag a spot on the porch you are guaranteed a panoramic view! They are one of the best food wineries I've been to. Each time I go I live in an internal debate of eggplant fries or a giant pretzel...the picture shows the winner of this trip lol. Whether you are on a wine tour or are just looking for an afternoon spot...it's Hawk Ridge. Definitely don't hesitate to stop here and grab wine and a pretzel for yourself! @thesidedishers

Such a great CT winery - I wish it was closer! Have tried a few of their wines and have liked each one I've tried, but I think my favorites are the All Day Rose and Shake Your Tail Feather. Love the themes here! The foods very good too - try the turkey sandwich with their homemade chips! They're dog friendly outside & you can bring your own food. Great spot!

What an amazing winery with sn even more amazing view. We rented the gazebo for the day. It was cool and shaded on a really hot day. We hung out all day playing cornhole and just relaxing. The wine selection was superb. The cashier knew everything about each wine and made it easy for is to make our selection. They even had a few beer selections as well as soft drinks and water They offer food but we did not order. We brought our own for the day but next time we will definitely try the pizza. It looked delicious Overall a great way to spend the day with friends just relaxing. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a day like that. We will definitely be back

Good place to relax and enjoy. Open mostly every day. Loved it. Totally recommend it.

While the location is very beautiful, I will say that the tables outside were dirty. There were several bees that made sitting outside a nuisance. The wine itself was good, but the staff seemed somewhat hostile. Not sure if they're burnt out from dealing with difficult patrons, but I likely will not return due to the condescending manor in which I was treated.

The white wines had excellent character and a relaxed, fun vibe. The staff was upbeat and made great suggestions.

Such a cute winery! Great views and a cozy interior. I like that they assign you a table so you don't have to worry about finding one on your own. They have a ton of wines to choose from with lots of variety. The wine flight samples were on the smaller size but have you get a good taste of 6 wines of your choosing. Also had a wine slushie that was flavorful. I liked their food options as well and got a cheese plate, which had enough cheese and crackers for 2-3, and the truffle Parmesan fries which were delicious. Prices were very reasonable, and staff was friendly and helpful. Would love to come back in warmer weather to enjoy their beautiful grounds.

Beautiful spot, amazing wines, & delicious food, you can't go wrong here. Place was hopping on a lovely afternoon. Enjoyed wine flights and full glasses, as well as flatbreads, charcuterie, and other great snacks. Really a wonderful place to spend the day!

Had my daughter's grad party here. Called ahead to ask if they can put a cake in their refrigerator because it was so hot out. The employee said absolutely. Got there and went to the service desk. The manager said absolutely not. I asked if I can just leave it inside since our party was in the pavilion and she said NO. Not I'm sorry we really can't but just NO!! Train your employees so that they don't give the wrong information to customers and be kind to people. We were a party of 30 something and spent a lot of money on your expensive wine. We were also told we would get kicked out because the server in the pavilion thought that someone underage was drinking which was not the case. She watched us the entire time which put a bit of a damper on our party. I am a mom and would not let underage kids drink at my parties. I think that some employee training would help all involved.

Discovered this place and what a find. Beautiful setting on a hill with hawks flying overhead. Plenty of chairs either on covered patio or there were Adirondack's and picnic tables on the lawn. Wine was delicious and the food as well. My hubby and I each got chicken cutlet sandwiches and we both loved them. We shared the hawk ridge white (Pinot Grigio) so good on a hot day. Great portions and the servers were knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely return to this winery!

Really cool place. Wine and beers were good. Lots of good options for a winery. The portion size of food could be bigger but aren't awful. Outdoor space is beautiful. Would recommend bringing your own chair as spots fill up quick but there is a ton of room on the lawn. Will be back!

My daughter and I stopped in for a wine flight and lunch date. Justin attended us and he was extremely friendly and cheerful. We were able to choose from the following wine flights: 1. White Wine Flight 2. Red Wine Flight 3. Sweet Wine Flight 4. Dry Wine Flight My daughter had the white wine flight and I had the sweet wine flight. We both really enjoyed our flights as the wine was great. We also shared a mango, sangria, blueberry wine slushy which was so yummy and refreshing during this July heat wave. They also offer a diverse menu of food. We ordered the margarita pizza which was cheesier and yummier than I expected and we ordered the spinach and artichoke dip which tasted extremely fresh and was also delicious. Plus, the views were an added bonus! Overall it was a great outing from the moment we walked in until we walked out. We can't wait to go back and try their wine ice pops!

My mom and I took my dad to Hawk Ridge for a light birthday lunch and had such a nice time. We really enjoyed sitting on the back porch and taking in the view. It was a Monday afternoon, so it was pretty quiet and relaxing. I remember being not overly impressed with the food on my first visit, but I was very happy with our lunch this time. The buffalo chicken dip was super addicting, and I enjoyed the watermelon feta salad and turkey sandwich. I would definitely say Hawk Ridge is one of my favorite wineries that I've been to! It's not chaotic like some others that I've been to.

Not bad overall. Great that they have food available. Got two tastings, some snacks, and a few more glasses of wine with my sister. Brought my dog thinking she would be allowed on the patio because it's outside, but was informed that is not the case. Not a big deal, I just wish there was a sign or something telling me that somewhere so I didn't have to inadvertently make someone scold me for it. The wine was not bad, but of the tasting only 1 was good enough to convince me to stay and have another glass. The tasting experience was so-so, served in little ketchup cups. 30 min to close and you better be ready to evacuate because they are not messing around at the end of the night. The highlight of the evening was one woman who was cleaning up outside -- they had several tattoos and we struck up a conversation about knitting. They were so very kind to us (and my pup) and really provided the level of service I had hoped for when I arrived. They even came back and offered us a cover for one of our snack containers so we could take our leftovers home. Of the employees I spoke with, they were the most hospitable.

Love this place! Great wine and food. Photo here is the prosciutto flatbread - SO GOOD! Jeff is awesome if you get to meet him. Such a pretty spot throughout the whole year. Sometimes can be loud inside if a live singer or band is there but always a good time!

This is one of my favorite vineyards in Connecticut. It is about a 45 minute drive from my house, and I would make this drive any day of the week! The Vineyard itself is absolutely beautiful, and the property is expensive and gorgeous. It's extremely clean and it sits up on a hill that overlooks the area. The wines are fantastic and I definitely recommend their rosé and any of their slushies. You can't have a bad glass of wine here. The inside is beautiful, and very spacious. What's nice is they also have lots of events here so you can enjoy the wine and treats while participating in event, or just sit in some of the Adirondack chairs and enjoy the scenery.

This was my first Yelp event and I wasn't disappointed. Hawk Ridge Winery hosted. Located in Watertown, in the Litchfield foothills, there were stunning views including a lovely sunset at the end of the evening. We were greeted in the main space with delicious Strawberry Shortcake wine slushies. So refreshing!! We were then brought out to the 2 week old gazebo! It's perfect for parties, weddings, and other events. Copious amounts of food were brought out upon which to dine. Gorgeous charcuterie boards, margarita pizza, house made chips, eggplant fries, giant pretzels with mustard and cheese dip, and sandwiches for sharing were part of the selection. We had fun socializing and eating and ended our evening with a tasting of 3 of the winery's favorites. A white, rose, and red...all of which drank very nicely. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful. My companions and I all agreed that we wanted to come back to try more wines!! Hopefully we will see you there!

You'd never expect this beautiful little winery in the middle of a long road in Watertown, but there it is! My husband and I came here for our anniversary a few months ago for the first time. They have a nice selection of wines including sparkling (my favorite) and a few sangria-flavored wines (not with fruit) that were surprisingly good and still captured the sangria flavor. They also have a nice selection of snacks as well and we ordered the buffalo chicken dip which was delicious (could have eaten more if they had a bigger portion, too!) Only downside is they have basically no chairs unless you're on the deck (and, I guess, the tent?) It was a Thursday evening and not particularly busy when we went (though all the deck tables were taken) and we had to sit on the concrete retaining wall. 100% bring your own chairs!! Other wineries are a bit better about providing chairs. We came back a second time for our friend's birthday about a month or so later on a much busier Sunday afternoon. There's seating on the deck, in a tent, and on the sprawling grass area. We sat in the grass area and enjoyed the scenery. We brought our chairs this time! People were generally good about following covid restrictions (not gathering inside, waiting in line standing apart, masks, etc). Hawk Ridge also offers some wine slushy drinks and my friend had one and really enjoyed it. They're definitely creative with their selection. All in all, a nice spot to visit if you're in the area. Their selection of wines should appeal to a variety of preferences. Also, bring your own chair :)0

Fantastic service. Friendly atmosphere.The family owned business goes beyond to make you feel part of their family. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed. This place has something for everyone, not to mention the beautiful farm setting and view. A+++

If you want the towns best wine slushy, come on in! Absolutely delicious, fairly priced, and mixed around in dispensers ready to go! The property is absolutely gorgeous. Very clean, open and spacious. I was their for an event and there was also a sip and paint going on at the same time. The outdoor patio is newly built, the ambience is nice. It's full covered and overlooking their beautiful fields, what a view. There's a few games and lounge chairs if you just want to hang out in that area as well. The wine tasting was nice and very informative. We got samples of Western Highlands Estate White, Western Highlands Estate Rose, Western Highlands Estate Red was smoky. The Rose was my favorite. When you come for a tasting you will also get a wine glass. Very impressed with the young lady that makes them. Now for the food. The customer service was outstanding and the food matched their energy. I really really could've eaten the entire bowl of eggplant fries myself! The turkey sandwich had caramelized onions, apple slice and a whole lot of goodness going on. My pictures do the food no justice. I highly recommend and will definitely come again!

Wine was excellent. I am a wine drinker and I was very impressed. Ambiance was very nice with good music. Staff were very knowledgeable and professional.

I just discovered this place at the end of summer and my boyfriend and I love coming here on the weekends! In the summer and fall the outdoor area is open and you're free to bring your own food and picnic setup - most people bring chairs and blankets. There's plenty of space so we felt more than comfortable coming here and being socially distant from other groups. The wine here is great and there are several stations - indoor and outdoor so you don't have to wait in one specific line. The best deal is definitely getting a bottle to share with your group but we also loved their wine slushies!! Great place to enjoy with a group - big or small. Staff is incredible and attentive.

Loved our visit here- even through the COVID restrictions! I can't wait to go back when they open under normal circumstances. I love the area they have their winery in- great open spot and I love that you can bring your own chairs to sit on the lawn. The inside was not open for seating but it looked huge inside and we did get a great seat outside in the shade. The wine we chose was SOO GOOD. We got the red and white sangria and sucked it down. We ordered some food as well and it was delivered to our table outside. The ladies behind the bar were very kind and they offer a veterans discount!!

I have never been to a winery outside of NY and this one has been on my list since October 2020. I had the chance to come here this weekend and try it out for the first time. We did the wine tasting, which was 11.50 for 6 wines. Seating is given at a first come first served base and they open at 12 on mondays. You did find some people sitting outside and enjoying some wine, but that is only if you want too. Hawk ridge was a nice little activity we decided to do and probably will do again when it's hotter outside.

Hawk Ridge Winery is a craft winery that opened in Watertown, Connecticut in June 2017. It was opened by longtime friends Jack and Michele McHugh & Vinny and Debra Giannetto. The winery is actually part of the larger Hidden Breeze Farm. Although it wasn't given that name until 2012, the Hidden Breeze property has been a working farm for decades. Thirty acres of hay are harvested by the farm annually. In 2014, the decision was made to begin planting grapevines on the property. There are currently 4 acres of grapevines planted on the farm. The McHugh and Giannetto Families began conceptualizing the winery in 2015 and ground was broken on the winery and tasting room the following year. The families chose the name 'Hawk Ridge' in reference to all of the red tail hawks seen on the property. The winery currently offers a selection of 8 Reds, 10 Whites, 3 Rosés, 2 Ports and 1 Dessert Wine. They've won several awards for their wines since opening. My wife and I visited Hawk Ridge Winery for the first time in April 2019. One of our good friends was celebrating her birthday there. The grounds were just beautiful! Our group of friends decided to order several bottles that everyone could sample. Some of the Whites that we sampled included the 'Hawk's Eye' and the 'Sky High White'. Very tasty indeed! The 'All Day Rosé' was another tasty offering for the Rosé lover. However, it was their Reds that really stood out for us. Our two favorite Reds were the 'Nighthawk's Watch' and the 'Trooper's Red'; we ended up purchasing a bottle of the latter. After spending some time in Hawk Ridge's beautiful tasting room, our party moved out onto the lawn for a while and relaxed in their nice Adirondack chairs. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Hawk Ridge Winery and look forward to returning.

Worst "wine tasting" experience in my 40+ years of attending Wineries. Unorganized Mob meandering around with no signs for directions or someone directing us to an organized line for information. Granted the crowd may have been overwhelming but who was in charge? Can't believe this happens every week. Finally thinking we're beginning a tasting. She grabs uncapped open bottles ,pours samples into plastic ketchup cups (airing the wine) which we bring to a table," open air"pour into wine glass. - by ourselves,no one explaining anything about what we're drinking. My plastic cups were miss-marked adding to the frustration of having a nice descriptive wine tasting. The wines were so-so, the servers preoccupied.

This was the first time at this winery location. The staff on June 10th were kind, attentive, courteous and easy-going. Love! The service, the food, the wine and the location is outstanding! Truly, the winery venue a relaxing environment and perfect setting. That day the weather outlook was perfect with clear skies, sunny and breezy day to reveal the landscape and the structure of the buildings beautiful. Overall outstanding! Planning for the next visit soon...
