First Impression
Yes, it is a chain. No, we are not apologizing. Cooper's Hawk operates its own winery with Master Sommelier Emily Wines curating the lineup, and the Alpharetta location delivers an experience that most independent restaurants cannot match on value alone. Eight wines for fourteen dollars in the tasting room is the gateway.
Selection Deep Dive
The entire wine list is house-produced, which is either a limitation or a superpower depending on your perspective. We lean superpower. The range covers Sparkling, Rosé, Prosecco, Almond Sparkling (a guilty pleasure), Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Moscato, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, and Meritage. Monthly curated selections at $17.99 keep the regulars exploring. What you lose in outside-producer variety you gain in consistent quality and aggressive pricing.
By the Glass
This is where Cooper's Hawk flexes. Flights run from $14.99 for the Bubbles Flight to $19.99 for the Lux Flight, with White and Red flights at $15.99 each. A monthly curated flight at $17.99 rotates selections. The eight-wine tasting at $14 per person is essentially a wine education class with a buzz. For by-the-glass value, it is almost impossible to beat.
Cooper's Hawk 8-Wine Tasting — $14/person
Eight different wines for fourteen dollars. Even if only three of them blow your mind, you are still ahead of any single glass at most restaurants in this zip code.
Cooper's Hawk Petite Sirah
Dark, inky, and full-throttle — the Petite Sirah is the sleeper of the house lineup. Most visitors default to the Cab or Meritage and miss the most interesting red they produce.
Cooper's Hawk Moscato
It is fine but it is Moscato. At these prices nothing is truly a bad deal, but when the Tempranillo and Petite Sirah exist, the Moscato feels like a wasted pour.
Cooper's Hawk Meritage + Filet Mignon
The Bordeaux-style house blend has enough structure for a proper steak pairing. The Meritage shows that a house winery can play in the same arena as imported bottles when the winemaker knows what they are doing.
🎲 The Bottom Line
Cooper's Hawk is the Wild Card that earns its badge by doing something nobody else in Alpharetta does — making, pouring, and pricing wine under one roof with a Master Sommelier at the helm. The chain label is irrelevant when the flights are this good and the value is this real.
