The Hearts of Stone expansion can be started at any point during or after the main story. However, CD Project Red suggests that the expansion is meant for players who reached character level 30.
The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone comes out on October 13, 2015. Alongside the digital release, the expansion will also receive a limited boxed edition retailing at $19.99 / 19.99€. The box will contain a digital download code for Hearts of Stone, two physical decks of Gwent cards featuring the Monsters and Scoia’tael factions, and a manual explaining the rules.
