The Hawthorn Bottle Shop and Tasting Room

We came in for a wine tasting and I liked the options they had for flights. I'd never been there before so the staff was very friendly and helpful. The prices were a little high but the quality of the wine and the atmosphere make this a worthwhile stop. They had a nice selection of foods but I didn't try anytime this time. My husband was very excited to see Gluwein on the menu! We love a glass of warm spiced red wine. So delicious!

We just had our wedding reception in their private mezzanine. Good snacks, good wine good atmosphere. They are reasonably priced for what you get, which is a lot. They let you bring in outside food if they don't have it (we had cake, brownies and cookies from vanilla bean). Both ladies working (the owners) were great. Very professional and just nice people. They were great to work with when we checked out the venue, during setup and the event. No one's drink was empty long and they made sure everyone had fun. If you want to have a relaxing, chill, fun event, I highly recommend. Honestly 10 out of five stars. It was amazing. And I know it sounds like I'm exaggerating or just overly praising. But everything went so smooth, and with so little stress, I'm just on cloud nine with them and I had to recommend them.

We enjoyed our time here as well as the broad list of wine options. The bowl of various olives was a nice addition to our tastings! Server was nice but a bit slow. Maybe it was more busy than it looked. Nice location on the Main Street. Outside seating was available, but only for 4-6 people. VictorB

While searching online for a place to have dinner, I came across this place and was drawn in by the pictures of the Charcuterie. There are a variety of seating options and a large selection of wines from all over the world for purchase. The food item portions on the menu are smaller, but perfect for two people and allow for multiple tastings to compliment your wine flights. The staff is highly knowledgeable, and can expertly recommend wines according to what you like. We had the Bee Happy, The Janice and Prost. All were amazing. If you love wine bars, The Hawthorn offers a great experience.

Could not believe to find such a wonderful vinery in Helena. Tasting was wonderful, big choice from different part of the world, great service, really nice cheese and more than fair price. My compliments from Italy.

I'm glad I don't live in Helena, because I would end up spending soooo much money here! Not because they're expensive (they're not), but because they have so much goodness! Great selection of killer wines (including a whole bunch of wonderful, wine-geeky stuff), by the glass, bottle, flight, *and* take away! Becca (sp?) was awesome, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! I didn't eat much as I want super hungry, but the cheese board was solid.

Frequent visitor here. We went on Father's Day and we're super disappointed. For context, I ordered 7 food items for 2 adults and a kid. Portions for the meat & cheese board and the charcuterie were MAYBE half of what they were last time I went. Not only that, the variety was poor. Two meats and three very small cheeses? The pate recipe was different and not at all good. Ordered the Thai nuts and there was (and I'm being generous) 1/3 cup in a bowl. Service was absolute trash but that's typical of anywhere. $70 later and we ended up grabbing a slice of pizza in the way home because we were still hungry. Sad to say I won't be back.

This is one of the best wine bars I've been to. The owners and staff love what they do and treat their guests with care and affection. The wine selection is phenomenal and the staff can recommend bottles or glasses for your taste. The snack selection is also delicious. ONLY THE BEST QUALITY HERE!!! Staff, wine, food, design ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
