Only eleven years old, Spicy Vines has made a name for itself in the competitive wine region of Northern California. With their charisma and panache, they are the epitome of hip, cool and far-out California wine culture.
Spicy Vines is a small independent family-owned winery located in Healdsburg, the heart of Sonoma County, California.
From humble roots, the winery was founded in 2011 by female entrepreneur, Crystalyn Hoffman with a vision to create a distinctively fresh winery with a spirit of fun. Three years into her journey, Crystalyn met Doug Hackett, now partner, husband and winemaker extraordinaire of Spicy Vines. A true artisan at his craft, Doug brings over 24 years of winemaking experience to the partnership, having worked with some of the most coveted vineyards across Sonoma and Mendocino counties.
The dynamic duo joined forces and have never looked back, as they continue to focus on making world class wines that exude purity, depth and balance and that are honest expressions of their soil, varietal, climate and character.
Why the name, "Spicy Vines", you ask? The name comes from the free spirited and unapologetically chill vibe of the winery. In addition to just being friendly humans, these two also make one very special wine that is actually spiced (like Christmas). A wine so unique, it has turned the industry on its head for being so blasphemous, yet so delicious! Try it for yourself, and you too will understand the obsession.
Spicy Vines has become a winery able to master quality and fun in all that it does. Whether you are drawn to its artisan wines, the down-to-earth vibe, craft wine cocktails or live music on Saturdays, this winery is sure to leave you impressed.
