Simi Winery

Simi Winery is an estate in Healdsburg with stone cellars that produces wines from grapes grown across Alexander Valley and Russian River Valley. The property spans over 600 acres managed with sustainable farming practices focused on quality output.

The winery was established in 1876 by Italian brothers and moved its operations to Healdsburg in 1881 from San Francisco. It remained active during Prohibition by using underground storage, avoiding the closures that affected most competitors.

The winery carries Italian heritage from its founders, which remains visible in how the place operates and feels. Visitors sense this connection through the stories shared during visits and the family approach to winemaking.

The property is open daily and offers tastings with food pairings as well as outdoor picnic areas for visitors. Private events and group activities can be arranged ahead of time to suit different needs.

A female scientist who joined the team in 1973 was the first woman to graduate in winemaking from an American university. She introduced scientific methods to production that continue to influence how wines are made here.
