E. & J. Gallo Winery has purchased the Hahn Family Wines portfolio, which complements Gallo’s existing Central Coast offerings. The terms of the agreement have not been disclosed. However, the deal does not include the Hahn family’s vineyard assets.
In the purchase, Gallo has acquired Smith & Hook, which is known for its spirited, layered, and luscious Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux red blends from Paso Robles and the Central Coast. It also includes Hahn wines, which are rooted in the terroir of Monterey County and offer a fresh, approachable style in an array of varietals, as well as Hahn SLH wines that showcase the character of the Santa Lucia Highlands.

“For over forty years, the Hahn family and their incredible team have produced expressive terroir-driven, quality wines from the Santa Lucia Highlands, Arroyo Seco, Paso Robles, and throughout the Central Coast,” says Steve Carlotti, senior vice president and general manager of Commercial Brands at Gallo. “We are honored to welcome their brands into our portfolio. This acquisition reinforces Gallo’s strategy for continued growth while supporting our goal of delivering superior quality at great value to our consumers across all usage occasions.”
“I am pleased to transition our Hahn Family Wines portfolio to the E. & J. Gallo Winery. Not only do we share similar family values, but both organizations are deeply committed to creating a sustainable future,” adds Thomas Duhameau, president of Hahn Family Wines. “I am confident the Hahn family’s Central Coast wine legacy is in the best hands with the Gallo family.”
