When you want to enjoy a weekend afternoon filled with friends, laughter, good tastes, and good memories, one of the best destinations is a visit to a winery that lets you recharge and enjoy the moment. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, want to take the ladies from book club out for a special outing, or just want to have a wine tasting with your best girlfriends, you will love the ambiance and peaceful nature of Hawk Ridge Winery in Watertown.

Cleverly named in honor of the beautiful red tailed hawks that frequent Hidden Breeze Farm, Hawk Ridge Winery has been a small, yet important part of the 58 acre farm since 2012.

With the help of local volunteers, the Giannetto and McHugh families planted grapevines so they could cultivate the crops. Currently, the farm has four acres of grapevines, as well as four beehives, and crops such as garlic and squash.

While you enjoy your wine choices, you can also choose from a delicious variety of tapas, cheese boards, and other appetizers to nibble on while enjoying a glass of wine for yourself or a bottle for your table. Guests are also welcome to bring their own food.

Hawk Ridge Winery's wine club gives you the opportunity to try different wines and take advantage of winery discounts throughout the year. The three tiered club prices begin at $75 per quarter.

If you want to try something a little different, pick up one of these little cans of carbonated wine. MoHawk Sauvignon Blanc & HawkFaced Red are flavorful, a little different, and are equal to drinking two and a half glasses of wine.

With outdoor live music, a beautiful atmosphere, great wine, and delicious food, Hawk Ridge Winery and the Hidden Breeze Farm have a bright future with many other projects and plans on the horizon. Long term plans include expansion of the vineyard to 30 acres and the addition of honey.
