The Hafner Vineyard Team

From vine to bottle to your door

Over the years, as patrons have visited our winery, often the first thing they say is "Now I have a face to go with the voice." So here are the faces to go with the voices and our online presence:

Wine made at home in 1966 and a bad horseshoe game in 1967 led Dick Hafner to this secluded Alexander Valley spot. St. Louis native, former newsman and retired from the University of California, he corresponds regularly with patrons of Hafner Vineyard wines.

Much spirit in this small family winery comes from Mary Hafner, wife of Dick and mother of Parke and Scott (and daughters Julie and Betsy in the East). Her social and culinary skills are matched by her community commitment and fiscal management.

After graduating from the University of California at Davis' world-famous enology department, winemaker Parke Hafner worked at wineries in the Napa Valley and France. Then he directed the building of our winery and began 23 years of making Hafner Vineyard wines in 1982.

Scott Hafner designs and runs Hafner Vineyard’s pioneering marketing program. Patrons most often hear his voice when they call. “Personal service you can count on” is his focus. He visits top California restaurants to produce our impressive list. Scott and his partner Bill Glenn live in rural Santa Rosa.

Artist/designer Sarah Hafner creates the Hafner Vineyard printed materials. An integral part of the winemaking team, Sarah has worked every harvest since 1982. She is also the local school board president. Her family includes husband Parke and daughters Kate and Grace.

Laurie Williams is a major reason our service is so personal and so dependable…and has been for 21 years. Her follow-through on every order makes gifts a certainty and timely delivery a sure thing.

Steve Miller sends Hafner wine to patrons across our country. In northern California he often delivers it personally! A Wisconsin native, Steve packages and ships Hafner wine at the lowest delivery price of any winery.
Email: steve@hafnervineyard.com

Born in Mexico and long a US resident, Rafael Jimenez is a 30-year veteran of the grape industry. His knowledge ranges from rootstock to composting grape stems and skins to buying good bugs to fight bad bugs. He directs our skilled vineyard team.

Friendly voices on the Hafner Vineyard phones belong to these two cousins. Sandy Wilson and Michele Osborne are natives of our Alexander Valley here in Sonoma County. Every letter and every order gets their careful eye.

Cesario Gonzales is surprised to find a photographer in the vineyard! In addition to his work with the vines he also runs a steer or two on the hills above the vineyard. That keeps the grass short to reduce the wildfire threat.

Juan Lopez first worked at Hafner Vineyard in the early 1970's. Here he puts vine shoots into position to help the sun reach the grapes. Yes, the other Lopez men are his brothers, all from Michoacan state in Mexico.

By lifting these trellis wires, Agustin Juarez makes sure sun and air reach the grapes, keeping them healthy. He also helps in the winery...our utility infielder expertly covering many bases. Agustin first came to Hafner Vineyard in 1969.

Gerardo Lopez is an expert machine operator, seen here in the cab of our French-made harvester that also does pruning and cultivating. He is also a veteran soccer player who keeps in shape by running regularly.

Jose Luis Lopez is equally expert with pruning shears and with this tractor cultivating in the vineyard. Another longtime member of the Hafner Vineyard team, he is always quick with a wave and smile.

Martin Aleman also is a vineyard team member of many skills. He can be found most often in the vineyard and also does yeoman work in helping to send Hafner Vineyard wine to our patrons on the heaviest shipping days of the year.

Kate and Grace Hafner are Parke and Sarah’s children (and Dick and Mary’s grandchildren). They do many tasks at Hafner Vineyard that include keeping an eye on yellow lab Lily.
