Join us for a visit to one of Sonoma County’s hidden gems — Small Vines in Sebastopol. In this episode, we sit down with Founders & Owners Paul and Kathryn Sloan for a heartwarming, inspirational, and deeply educational conversation about what it truly means to farm with vision, intention and purpose.

From Paul’s early days as a young Wine Steward at the iconic John Ash & Co., he held a clear vision: to grow estate wines of world-class quality right here in the place he calls home. That dream, paired with an innovative, pioneering spirit, led Paul and Kathryn to plant vineyards their own way — with smaller vines, higher density, and a commitment to sustainability that has become a hallmark of their brand.

We explore the philosophy behind Small Vines, their journey as partners in both business and life, and how they’re shaping the future of Sonoma County wine one thoughtful vintage at a time.
