Smith-Story Wine Cellars

Come out and Play with a 2 night stay and wine pairing dinner.

Established May 14, 2013

Smith Story Wine Cellars is a family-owned indie boutique winery established Established in 2013 by husband and wife Team, Eric Story & Alison Smith-Story. 

The wines begin with the land, places that are special to Eric and Ali throughout California and Europe. As the vineyard program grows, so will their true story. Their belief is to respect what the land offers, while shepherding in the cellar and ultimately delivering beautiful expressions of each varietal to supporters of Smith Story Wine Cellars.

Smith Story Wines are made with respect for the land, kindness for the grower and, love from the winemaker. Each vineyard we work with is owned by families, we want to ensure their present and future success as grape growers. The wines show restraint, balance and integrity of the grape. Our winemaking philosophy is to utilize classic, old world techniques and let the grapes and sense of place where they are grown both speak for themselves. 

We are teaming up with Smith-Story Wine Cellars for a weekend in Sonoma County  and a sumptuous wine pairing dinner at the fabulous Gables Wine Country Inn on Saturday October 19th.  The package includes a 2 night stay at The Gables and the 5-course  dinner with 4 Smith-Story Wines for only $950.00 per couple plus tax.  Our 5 star 3-course breakfast is served each day.  Additional nights can be added for $275.00 per night plus tax. 

In addition, you will have the opportunity to visit the Smith-Story Wine Cellars tasting room and just maybe meet Lord Sandwich and Sir Royal Soup. 

Our guests receive our Wine Passport to over 25 Sonoma County wineries, each offering a little something extra to our guests.
