Keith Smith, Proprietor
A fourth generation farmer whose roots reach back to 19th century Kansas, Keith has above all a respect for farming and growing the best grapes. His father, Rudy Smith, started the family vineyard at Mt. St. Helena in California. In 1988, the torch was passed on to Keith to watch over and cultivate the grapes.
Keith has always maintained a delicate balance between that vineyard in California and his love of the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. In 2004, Keith founded the Trapper Peak Winery, bonded and headquartered in the great state of Montana. The Mt. St. Helena Vineyard continues to produce 159 acres of world class grapes from California, while cellaring and aging take place in the bucolic Bitterroot Valley. The results are sumptuous wines that we think you’ll agree take the fullest advantage of the California growing climate and good old Western sensibility in the winemaking process. The best of both worlds? We certainly think so.
The team here at Trapper Peak invites you to taste our wines and the passion with which they were made.
