Award-Winning Wines in Healdsburg, CA
Founded in 1994 by Susie Selby and her late father, Dr. David K. Selby, our winery embodies a legacy of passion and craftsmanship rooted in shared experiences with old-world wines. As the sole proprietor and winemaker, I have dedicated over three decades to perfecting every bottle, drawing on hands-on expertise from cellar work to blending, while maintaining the vision my father and I began with our first Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vintages. Our family-owned operation has earned recognition through numerous awards, including Gold Medal and Best of Class honors, with wines served at the White House across four presidential administrations.We specialize in small-lot, handcrafted wines, offering a diverse portfolio of over sixteen varietals, including exclusive single-vineyard and reserve selections available only at our Healdsburg tasting room. Our commitment to quality extends to personalized guest experiences, from complimentary tastings for up to four guests to private sessions with me, ensuring every visitor discovers the joy of wine as a reflection of lifes pleasures.
