About Simi Winery
Simi Winery is one of the most storied names in Sonoma County wine. Founded in 1876 by Italian immigrants Giuseppe and Pietro Simi, the winery survived Prohibition by sealing their wine in a giant 25,000-gallon tank and selling it after repeal — a legendary act of resilience that became winery lore.
The beautiful stone cellar building on Healdsburg Avenue — flanked by towering redwood trees — is one of the most distinctive winery landmarks in Sonoma County. The historic stone cellars underground date to the original 19th-century construction.
Simi's winemaking legacy includes a remarkable chapter of female leadership — Zelma Long served as head winemaker from 1979 to 1990, pioneering modern California winemaking techniques that influenced an entire generation of winemakers. Today Simi produces wines across Sonoma County and Alexander Valley that honor the 140+ year tradition of welcoming hospitality the Simi name has always represented.
At its Healdsburg location, Simi Winery presents a featured lineup that includes Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma County Chardonnay, Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, and Reserve Chardonnay. Together, these bottles provide a focused introduction to the varieties, vineyard sources, and style that define the winery's current portfolio.
"Sonoma's welcoming historic winery since 1876. Redwood trees, historic stone cellars, Chardonnay that defined a generation, and 140+ years of producin"

Featured Wines
Cabernet Sauvignon
Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
The Simi flagship — warm, generous Alexander Valley Cabernet with dark fruit, cedar, and the approachable, food-friendly style Simi has championed for decades.
★★★★☆
Chardonnay
Sonoma County Chardonnay
The wine that built the Simi reputation — a benchmark of California Chardonnay winemaking. Rich, well-balanced, and consistently excellent value.
★★★★☆
Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
Cool-climate RRV Pinot from a winery that has sourced from this appellation since its early days of California Pinot recognition.
★★★★★
Chardonnay
Reserve Chardonnay
The premium tier Simi Chardonnay — showing the depth and complexity the RRV can produce when the fruit is outstanding.
