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.

"You have always been one of my favorites. A true pioneer and a man with a great
heart and mind. We need visionary thinkers like you!"

"I'm really thankful we found Howard Bursen, because he not only helped us get our start, but he helped us through everything. And I don't think we would have made it without him, with his breadth of knowledge, and wisdom, and experience."

Steve Sawyer

"We can't say enough nice things about Howard's accomplishments and his contributions to that establishment over the last 25 years. Congrats to Sharpe Hill and to Howard!"
