About Smokey Ridge Ranch
Smokey Ridge Ranch began in Placerville in 1999, vines planted that same year with additional plantings in 2012. Kirk shapes the program, making 500 cases annually. Syrah, Zinfandel, Sangiovese, Grenache, and Tempranillo anchor the portfolio, alongside Rosé and Late Harvest Zinfandel. The ranch also produces hard apple cider from 17 varieties grown on the farm. Complimentary tastings run Fridays through Mondays, 9am to 5pm. Beyond wine, the property offers u-pick apples and chestnuts, plus farm-to-table lunches and events.
