About Me

I’m Sharon Smith, and I believe food, like life, is best when it’s shared.

It doesn’t have to be fancy or perfect. The best moments are the natural ones, the ones filled with laughter, a little chaos, and the people you love. That’s what I try to bring into everything I cook and every experience I create.

A Personal Journey With Food and wine

For years, my late husband, Sean, and I owned a little wine shop in Ashburn, Virginia. What started as a simple retail space quickly turned into something more—a place where people came to laugh, share stories, and enjoy a glass together.

Sean loved the wine side. I found my joy in the food. We realized the best way to truly bring people together was to open a kitchen so we could pour the wine, serve something delicious, and make everyone feel like friends.

When Sean passed away from brain cancer in March 2024, my world stopped for a while. But the love we shared, and the community that surrounded us, helped me find my way forward.

Now, through Hello Beautiful Eats and my continued collaboration with the Ashburn Wine Shop, I get to keep that spirit alive—sharing great food, great wine, and the joy of coming together around the table.

What It’s About

Thoughtful, Flavor-Driven Food
Every dish we make starts with simple, seasonal ingredients and ends with something meant to be shared. It’s food that feels good, fresh, vibrant, and full of love.

Experience Food and Wine
Whether it’s a pop-up dinner, a cooking class, or a spontaneous night at a wine shop, it’s all about connecting through good food, good wine, and great company.

Community Around the Table
You belong here if you’re someone who loves a good time and an even better meal. We’re all about creating spaces where laughter is loud, the plates are shared, and everyone feels welcome.

I’ve always believed that food and wine are meant to be shared; that the best moments happen around the table, surrounded by people who make you laugh until your face hurts.

Hello Beautiful Eats is my way of bringing that to life. Whether it’s a cozy dinner, a pop-up at a wine shop, or a fun time cooking together, it’s all about creating experiences that are warm, welcoming, and real.

If you love good food, good wine, and good company, you’re in the right place.

Let’s eat, drink, and make beautiful memories together.

Cheers!
Sharon
