Hartford Court

Hartford Court is a small, family‑run winery in the Russian River Valley known for making expressive, site‑driven Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and old‑vine Zinfandel. Founded by Don and Jennifer Hartford, the winery focuses on cool‑climate vineyards, many planted to old vines and farmed in small blocks that highlight the character of each site. The wines are intense yet balanced, shaped by low yields, careful farming, and a hands‑on cellar approach that favors purity over power. Hartford Court remains one of the region’s most respected producers for wines that are vibrant, elegant, and deeply connected to place.
