ABOUT

Bella Luna Winery started some 40 years ago in the hearts and minds of its founders, Kevin Healey and Sherman Smoot after they left high school. Kevin had just returned from honorably serving his country in Vietnam and Sherman, a Navy Fighter Pilot, wasn’t far behind. Having grown up together as best friends in the Paso Robles AVA, they have always shared a passion for wine.

Bella Luna Estate Winery is a small, family owned winery that focuses on unique varietals, making small lot productions of premium red and white wine, and is located on ten acres in the Templeton Gap District of the famous Paso Robles AVA.

In August 2018, Nichole and Lukas, daughter and son-in-law of Kevin and Camille, immigrated back to Paso Robles, California from Western Australia to join the family business, expand Bella Luna, and be close to family as they raise their kids.
