About Hanna Winery — Alexander Valley
Hanna Winery is one of Sonoma County's most genuinely family-committed multigenerational wine estates. Dr. Elias Hanna — a San Francisco cardiac surgeon who purchased the Alexander Valley Road property in 1985 — established the estate with a conviction that the warm Alexander Valley terroir and the cooler Russian River Valley could both be farmed to produce genuinely excellent wines from a single family's agricultural vision.
Daughter Christine Hanna has led the winery for many years, deepening both the Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon program and the Russian River Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sourcing relationships that give the Hanna program its geographic breadth. The Alexander Valley Road tasting room — with sweeping views across the Healdsburg-area valley — provides the scenic backdrop for a family wine experience that consistently earns loyalty from visitors who discover it.
The combination of two distinct California wine regions under one family umbrella — warm-climate Alexander Valley reds alongside cool-climate RRV whites and Pinot Noir — gives Hanna Winery an educational depth that purely single-AVA estates cannot offer. For visitors wanting to experience the contrast between Sonoma County's warmest and coolest wine corridors in a single seated tasting, Hanna provides the ideal one-stop exploration.
