Spring Pick Up Party
Sunday, May 17th
2 – 5 PM
I’m not a barbecue master-I’m a barbecue student. if you’d like to give my work a shot, I’ll be cooking for our Wine Club pickup party on May 17th in the tasting room garden in Alexander Valley. The menu will feature beef brisket, spareribs, homemade potato salad, and slaw. We’ll have all the new releases pouring and will pull a few big bottles from the library, too. All that, plus a guy playing guitar under the maple tree. Get your tickets here! Limited to four tickets per membership.
Pyramid Hike and Picnic
Saturday, June 13th
10 AM
I’ll meet you on top of the terraces at 10 am to walk our 115 acre Pyramid Ranch and talk everything from farming to trees to playing baseball in the empty fields of block 5 and 6 before we planted them with to Cabernet Sauvignon. Dogs on a leash are welcome, and your ticket includes a picnic lunch served back at the Hawkes Tasting room garden. Get your tickets here!
Pyramid Vineyard Dinner
Saturday, September 26th
5:30 PM
Our annual Pyramid Dinner is the single most popular event we put on. It’s not hard to see why. The dinner is served on a little flat spot at the top of a steeply terraced Cabernet vineyard, with views that stretch to Mendocino County in one direction and Napa in the other. We start with sparkling wine and move through multiple vintages of Pyramid Vineyard Cabernet, with varied and delicious food, live acoustic music, and periodic wine-related musings by a bald man.
Get your tickets here!
Restrictions: We are unable to accommodate pets, infants or guests under 21
Bubbles and Bird in the Garden
Coming Soon
Did I have you at sparkling wine and fried chicken?
The first Sunday of June-October, we’ll be pouring flights of Flora sparkling and serving Nashville hot chicken sandwiches. If you’re not familiar with Flora, you can get a glimpse of it here-or just holler and we’ll get you up to speed. These are trying, divisive times, but if there are two things that have the power to unite humanity, they are sparkling wine and spicy fried chicken. Let’s bring America together. See you Sunday.
If you can’t stay for supper, just ask about our picnic baskets and we’ll set you up with travel-ready fried chicken sandwiches, sides, and frosty bottles of Flora sparkling. Yumbo!
Fall Pickup Party
Sunday, November 8th

Please join me for a sigh of relief or a shout of celebration (or both) at our Wine Club pickup party in November.

Limited to four tickets per member.
Holiday Celebration
Coming Soon
Please join us for our second annual three brand holiday celebration at the Hawkes Tasting Room in Alexander Valley on December 6th, from 2–5 PM. I’ll be pouring sparkling wines from our new project, Flora, and shucking oysters from Hog Island while my wife, Laura, pours Carpenter Pinot Noir and serves wood-fired pizza. Susanna “The Sheriff” Segura will be popping selections from the Hawkes Cabernet library, paired with locally made charcuterie and cheeses from Diavola and Bellwether Farms.
There will be live music and a variety of multibrand holiday gifts dressed up for perusal and purchase. Admission is complimentary for wine club members and their guests. I hope to see you for a holiday hug* and a chance to thank you for supporting our family’s farms over the past year.
*Hugs not mandatory.
