The Hawthorn Bottle Shop and Tasting Room

Great atmosphere with amazing service. Everyone was so kind and friendly. I wanted to try something new and the staff were patient with me and very informative. Very impressed and pleased with my visit 🥰

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.

Dietary restrictions: We told them, and didn't have to worry all night.

Parking: There is a big parking garage connected to the building.

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.

Great selections of wine and options for Charcuterie boards. The staff is very knowledgeable of wines from around the world and can definitely satisfy even the pickiest of pallets.

Awesome experience with Sydney and Claire. Claire really knew the wines we tasted and had expert advice. We enjoyed our wine tasting and charcuterie board. Highly recommended.

I travel a lot for work and this is the best place I have ever been for a quiet drink as a woman traveling alone. Service was impeccable. Wine selection was sublime and thoughtfully presented. I wish I had a place like this where I live. Don't miss out on getting an excellent glass of wine in a beautiful location.

This is my favorite place to buy wine in Helena--have found a few new favorites! This is my top desired place to get a gift card from. It is also fun to sit and try one of their cocktails or tapas, charcuterie, etc. In the summer, sitting outside and having frosé is a must, or being cozy inside during the winter with some grog is a must.

We go all the time and recieve great service and great reccomendations. Very unpretentious about letting you try things out if you aren't a big wine drinker. Grace has provided great service the last few visits we have had.

My wife and I came back here for our anniversary from the valley since we normally don't make it downtown and it was a wonderful experience! The ambiance was great, the food was delicious, and the servers were friendly and extremely attentive. Unfortunately, we sat at the bar and overheard some servers talking about how they're struggling to make ends meet with their job here. I was surprised since this is a fine dining place that gets a lot of traffic. $10/hr?? My wife and I were a little disappointed, we hoped Helena business owners would take better care of their employees. That aside, we had an amazing night and the service was great!
