Kim Smith Wine Driver

Specialties

Let me be your own private designated driver. Enjoy the beauty of the wine country from the comfort of your own vehicle, but I do much more, you could say I’m a concierge. I love for clients to get involved in the research about where they would like to go. We all have busy schedules. What I like to do is have an online dialog with clients and do the work for you. I’m very familiar with Sonoma and Napa Counties. I can make reservations at tasting rooms and or restaurants. I can suggest restaurants, giving their web-​sites so you can decide yourself. If you just want a picnic I can do that too, or when you’re at a winery I can pick up your lunch and have it ready for the next winery. Anything you need I would love to be of help! I carry liability umbrella policy.

History

Established in 2013.

I am a Sonoma County native. I started my job by people asking me what wines I enjoyed. What a better way to have a job by driving people through the wine country and helping choose the wineries that suit their individual palette.

Meet the Business Owner

Kim S.

Business Owner

I lived in Sonoma County for most of my life with the exception of a period of time living in France and Germany many years ago. During harvest months in Dry Creek Valley, I opened my home to international interns. The interns included Australians and New Zealanders, who left in the morning to work for different wineries.

As a result, I’m familiar with the work-​a day world of making wine, which I would love to share with you.

My husband was a vice president of a winery for almost 25 years. We both are retired. He works part-​time in a Healdsburg tasting room.

I would love to drive you to places most people don’t know about unless they are in the wine business. I know all the great restaurants, spas, mud baths, and mineral springs. I know «gems» to visit all the way to Mendocino. I’ll make sure that I’ll find exactly where you want to go.

We have three wine appellations converging in the town of Healdsburg: Alexander Valley, known for their Cabernet Sauvignon, Dry Creek for Zinfan
