Smith Vineyard & Winery

As Smith Vineyard's second generation, Gary and Christina Smith continue the fine art of winemaking and vineyard tending that Gary's father began with his three sons. Now with three sons of their own, the Smith's handcraft small lots of classic varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Primitivo and Chardonnay. In April 2010 we estabilshed our tasting room in downtown Grass Valley. Our estate vineyard is within the Sierra Foothills appellation, near Grass Valley.  At 2,500 ft. elevation, our wine grapes get their fruity ripeness from long sunny days and their balanced complexity from cool Sierra nights. Small lots of each varietal come in from our 10 acre vineyard.  At this size, we have the luxury of focusing our full attention on each vine and each barrel, making fine wines that will go beautifully with good food and good friends.
