Hecker Pass Winery

The tasting room has a rustic, old country feel to it. A very welcoing place to sample the wine. The staff were very friendly, helpful; the lady that helped me was a new hire, so I think she was still getting to know the place, but she otherwise did a great job.
My favorite wine was the Zinfandel, along with the Ruby Zinfandel. Excellent, a hint of Blackberry. Loved it! I tried 7 wines - Hecker pass does not charge for wine tasting, a big plus! I truly liked all the wines. THe zinfandells stood out, but the others were quite good also. I strongly recommend stopping at this tasting room. I liked this winery even better than Solis, which is just down the road on Rte 152 from Hecker Pass. Solis charges $10 for 5 wines to taste. If you are a white wine lover, though, best not to go to Hecker pass; they only have one white - called 'Blanc de Blanc'. I enjoyed it, rather like a Sauvignon Blanc, But this is all they make for whites. No chardonnays.

The aged beauty surrounding the Hecker Pass winery is unforgettable, from the elegant drive into the vineyard to the hand crafted redwood and cedar tasting room. The traditional aspects of this particular Vineyard are what give it its unique blend of Italian history and elegant selection. I was taken by the Ports, I am a lover of Ruby Port and must sample a bottle from each vineyard I venture to. At Hecker Pass I found their Ruby Port, which is indeed a gold medal, to be superior to any other Port I have tasted in the past.
