Dear friends, It’s with mixed feelings that we announce the final chapter of Hartwell Vineyards.

We are so proud of what three generations of the Hartwell family have achieved, but the last year presented both unique opportunities and challenges. After careful consideration, and ensuring that the vineyard and the remaining wines would be in good hands, we chose to retire the brand.

The partners behind Realm Cellars, to whom we had sold a small portion of our estate a few years ago, approached us with an offer to purchase the balance of the estate. We know they will continue to be good stewards of this very special gem of a property.

The inventory in our cellar and library has all been purchased, meaning Hartwell Vineyards wines are now available only from specialty retailers and private collectors.

We thank you for being a part of our story—some of you from its founding by Robert and Blanca—and we raise a glass to you. It has been an honor and pleasure to share our vision, our passion and our wines with you.
