The Board
Board of Directors
We currently have six members on our Board of Directors, with plans to expand to as many as ten as we connect with individuals who share our values and mission.
We seek people who believe in giving back, bring skills that support our work, enjoy hands-on vineyard efforts, and appreciate good wine.
