Becomes only winery in Sonoma or Napa with more than 500 reviews and perfect 5-star rating
Halleck Vineyard
Sonoma County, CA, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Last Sunday, Halleck Vineyard surpassed an unprecedented threshold to become the only winery in Sonoma or Napa with more than 500 Google ratings and a perfect 5.0-star average.
Of the more than 600 licensed wine-pouring establishments in Sonoma County, just five have more than 500 Google ratings, and Halleck Vineyard stands alone with a perfect 5.0-star average. In Napa Valley, where mega wineries rule, only eight wineries have surpassed the 500 ratings mark—and none have preserved a flawless five-star average.
“In the end, wine tastings aren’t just about the wine,” said winemaker and owner Ross Halleck. “They’re about creating wine tasting experiences that people remember. We’re honored by the hundreds of heartfelt ratings and reviews that reflect the joy, connection, and intimacy that our guests experience at our West Sonoma Valley estate winery and tasting room.”
With more than 500 verified reviews submitted by Google users, Halleck Vineyard’s flawless score reflects a consistent pattern of excellence in visitor experience, fine wines, delicious food pairings, and genuine hospitality.
Google star ratings are crowd-sourced from verified users, meaning the more reviews a business has, the more accurate and reliable the ratings are. To spotlight the elite tier of tasting experiences, only wineries with 500 or more Google reviews are included—an exclusive group representing less than 1% of the more than 600 wine-pouring establishments in Sonoma County alone.

Halleck Vineyard is celebrated not only for its award-winning, Best of Class, 95+ Pinot Noirs, exclusive white wines, and dry rosé, but also for the consistently intimate experiences it delivers. In fact, “Pinot Noir” and “intimate” are the two most frequently used words in Halleck’s more than 500 five-star Google reviews. Set in the Sebastopol Hills of West Sonoma County, just a short drive from Bodega Bay and the Sonoma Coast, the Halleck Vineyard Estate offers seated tastings by appointment only, in a serene garden overlooking the vineyards—a sharp contrast to the crowded tasting bars of larger venues. They describe the event as a “tasting salon” where people come from around the world and across the country to meet and share a wine tasting experience.
The 500th review, submitted on June 1, marked the milestone with high praise: “Halleck is the epitome of hospitality. We were almost immediately greeted by Ross, who happened to be around during the tasting. He was so welcoming and authentically passionate about their wines. The environment is inviting and relaxed. Halleck wines are well-crafted, smooth and delicious. Thank you for a lovely experience. We also recommend staying at the Wine Lodge Airbnb on the property for its own unique experience.” Here’s the actual wine tasting review on Halleck Vineyard’s profile.
