We are in Holiday mode with gift orders coming in via the internet, by email, over the phone and yes, even by fax. This time of year is always filled with hustle and bustle at Hafner Vineyard with all hands on deck. One of the things we enjoy about taking orders over the phone is that we are treated to fun conversations with patrons and learn more about who they are giving wine to and why. We hear from both ends of the spectrum - grandparents giving to adult grandchildren and vice versa. We hear from people giving gifts to a boss or boss giving to their team; to a longtime friend or brand new neighbor. It's a pleasure for us to help patrons find just the right gift for their friends and family. Thank you for trusting us with your gift giving needs.

Often patrons ask for our advice about what to give. Typically the Holiday Gift Collections that we've created are just the ticket. However, if a patron is looking for a specific price point, wine combination or something unique, we always enjoy solving those dilemmas. Patrons have asked what our most popular gifts are. We thought you might find it interesting to see a typical breakdown of the gifts from last year. 
We always enjoy hearing from patrons about why they give Hafner wine. Here are a few we received recently:

“I like giving the Annual Tasting Program because my kids were raised on Hafner wine and really enjoy it. Your system makes it easy!” – B.B.

“I really like being able to give something that most wine consumers don’t experience often, which in my opinion is a library red with some proper bottle aging.” – J.H.

“We appreciate the attention to detail you all provide and can't wait to hear from clients how your wine turned out for them!” – M.S.

“Thanks for producing such great wine.  It ALWAYS impresses the recipient!  I feel a little guilty riding on the Hafner coattails.” - H.B.

To get in the Holiday spirit, I flipped a question to our team... if you were on the other end of the phone calling Hafner Vineyard, what gift would you give and why?

Gift Pack – “It’s impressive to give a ten-year-old Cabernet and I like that it comes with Chardonnay all at a great price.” Laura

2020 Reserve Chardonnay Magnum – “We had this wine last night, and it was delicious!” Parke

Hafner Vineyard Instant Cellar Collection – “It’s a little bit of everything!” Quinn

Chardonnay Collection or Vertical of Library Cabernet – "These are two different budgets but both are interesting comparisons. The Chardonnay grapes come from the same vineyard and vintage, but the wines are produced using different techniques yielding two distinct wines. Or with the Cabernet, the only difference is their age." Sarah

2009 Double Magnum of Cabernet – “It wows any gift recipient!” Scott

Gift Pack – “Because it covers everyone!” Sandy

Annual Tasting Program – “It extends the Holiday gifts throughout next year and is often a fun surprise that may have been forgotten.” Kate
