Lightheart Cellars is a small estate winery in San Martin, featuring Bordeaux wines from their local vineyards and Burgundy wines from the Carneros AVA. Founded in 2009, as a classic “Silicon Valley Garage startup” they have been welcoming guests since June 2011, with their signature “Good Wines, Good Times” motto emblematic of their philosophy of minimum pretension. Aided by family and friends, they’ve expanded from modest beginnings and are actively participating in local community events.
Partners Jane and Sheldon share responsibilities from soil to foil in all aspects of viticulture and winemaking, and have placed their wines at several local venues, as well as selling at the winery and online. Actively managing multiple vineyards, they are able to control farming of the fruit at all stages, and optimize quality to express the terroir and varietal characteristics.
