Hahn Winery
Hahn Winery is owned and operated by the Nicolaus Hahn Family. Nicolaus (“Nicky”) Hahn is a Swiss businessman, adventurer and philanthropist whose venturesome spirit brought him and his family to Monterey in the mid 1970s. While living in England, the Hahns had discovered a love for California wines. A two-year search guided them to Monterey County with its breathtaking beauty and ideal growing conditions. Nicky quickly realized that this region had as much potential to produce world-class wines as any other in the state. He and his wife Gaby purchased Smith & Hook Winery in 1980, laying the groundwork for their long-term commitment to bring out the full potential of Monterey. Today, after more than 30-years of family ownership in Monterey, Nicky and Gaby remain committed to their vineyards and winery. Their daughter Caroline and son Philip are now actively involved and having assumed leadership roles, are taking the family’s Monterey winemaking legacy to the next generation.
