Longboard vineyards started as the journey of a surfer who stumbled into a winemaking career and wished to close a circle and pay homage to what he finds important in life. This little wine producer, established in 1998, has evolved, growing organically, and is now distributed in 20 US States and four international markets.  While some of our wines can be found in distribution, others are available first to our loyal Wine Club members and then only at the tasting room in Healdsburg and in the webstore.  We treat our wine club members as part of our extended family, it is well worth it to become a member.

We take extreme pride in being at the top. Everything about the Longboard wines, from the vineyards we use and the wines we bottle, our list of suppliers to our relationships with our clients and our bankers is a reflection of a choice we made to slowly build an entity we are proud of.

We believe great wines are those that are true to the people and place that grew them. Thus, we extend the notion of “terroir” to include the human aspect, not just the soils, climate and weather. As much as we possibly can, we’d rather work with a handshake instead of a legal contract, mutual respect in place of greed for another dollar. We do not agree that “bigger is better” and we certainly do not think that we know it all. What we can promise is that we put our best efforts to seek the best grapes we can grow or buy and give the consumer a product that reflects our love for the little things that matter in life.

Welcome to the tribe.

Cheers and Mahalo,

Team Longboard
