While some people think of wrapping presents as a chore, I relish it. For years, I have created my own Holiday gift tags (which became the impetus for designing the Hafner Vineyard gift tags.) In past years, many of you have received our gift tags. We thought it might be fun to share with you a template of gift tags that you can print and use this Holiday Season.
There’s excitement in the air! It’s a mix of Holiday music, adrenaline and the deep satisfaction of knowing we’re sending pleasure to gift recipients and patrons across the country.
The post-Thanksgiving rush is on! With just three weeks until Christmas and Hanukkah coming even sooner, all the communication channels here at Hafner Vineyard are humming: phones, emails, our mailbox in Healdsburg...even the fax machine.
This is the time of year when a tug-o-war occurs between “not enough time” and “wanting everything to be perfect”.
The calendar for the next five weeks is filling quickly and happily! Bill and I are hosting two gatherings around our table: a post-Thanksgiving lunch for family visiting from Missouri, and a traditional Christmas Dinner for 24 longtime friends. Then there will be friends dropping by (read: “Surprise!”), dinners at friends’ homes and nights out at favorite restaurants. It’s a busy and fun time of year!
Welcome to our new website! It was brought to life by feedback from patrons and implemented by Scott and Kate, with photographic expertise from Sandy. In fact, everyone at HV helped in one way or another. The goal was to allow patrons to see more of what’s happening here by increasing the size and frequency of photos, reducing what viewers have to read, simplifying the order process and creating a way to share stories with patrons and friends on a weekly basis. We hope that you enjoy the changes and welcome any thoughts you have.
Every Saturday morning, you’ll find me at the Healdsburg Farmers' Market.
I like to support local farmers because of the quality and the variety and because it is local. The market began in 1978 and continues to be as vibrant and lively as ever. Most of the purveyors have farms within ten miles of Healdsburg. They bring many different provisions from wild fish and locally raised meat to fresh eggs and cheese to the most abundant…seasonal vegetables and fruits.
