Smith Story Wine Cellars is a founder-led winery based in Healdsburg, built through over a decade of hands-on winemaking, vineyard sourcing, and direct relationships with customers.

Founded by wine industry pros, Ali and Eric Story, Smith Story was created with a simple belief: meaningful wines are made when experience, restraint, and integrity guide every decision. From vineyard selection to cellar work to the way wines are shared, Smith Story prioritizes balance, place, and connection over trend-driven styles.

Over the past 13+ years, Smith Story has quietly built a loyal national following through small-lot Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc–driven blends, and site-specific wines sourced from cool-climate vineyards in Sonoma County and Anderson Valley. These wines are crafted to be expressive, age-worthy, and deeply enjoyable at the table.

Smith Story’s growth has been intentional and disciplined, rooted in direct-to-consumer relationships, repeat buyers, and a community that values authenticity over spectacle. The result is a winery known not only for the quality of its wines, but for the trust it has earned.

Smith Story Wine Cellars is one of the most beloved small wineries in Healdsburg, based in Dry Creek Valley, California on the legendary Westside Rd., with five-star reviews for both the wines and hospitality.
