HAMLET HILL winery

Winery Design: Hamlet Hill's unique circular design, is set into a hillside. This “earth-solar” construction saved $100,000 on heating and cooling systems.
Vineyard Consulting: WineryPlan managed Hamlet Hill's vineyards, planted on a glacial drumlin.
Winemaking: WineryPlan supplied all necessary equipment and offered expert winemaking consultancy. Hamlet Hill Riesling won the top award at the San Francisco International Wine Competition, contributing to our wines earning more than 80 national and international accolades for excellence.

Design Challenges Faced

Challenge: How to provide excellent visitor access without high costs
Solution: Without sacrificing valuable production space, WineryPlan designed a tour path providing full visitor access and no disruption of winemaking operations. Construction cost savings: $150,000.
Challenge: The State Department of Health required a costly industrial-grade wastewater treatment system, costing an estimated $175,000
Solution: We convinced the Health Department to accept a successful, and less expensive design we had developed. WineryPlan saved Hamlet Hill $125,000.

"We want to thank you for your many contributions to LaBelle Winery’s success! Most of all, throughout the design process, filled with lots of hands in our pockets, your voice was one we could trust. Cesar and I know that you have our best interest at heart and we always felt protected by your watchful eye on detail."

Sharpe Hill Vineyard is probably the most critically acclaimed, and famous, vineyard in the Northeast, with a host of awards having been won by vintages made by their winemaker, Howard Bursen.
