When we see our people as the heart and soul of our winery we open up a huge space for them to contribute to its growth and development. Seeing people as valuable contributors from the get-go instills confidence and allows the full potential of each and every one of Truett Hurst’s team members to be fully expressed. From the vineyards, winemaking, and administration to the hospitality, gardening, and guest services staff, we hope to infuse our passion and love for winegrowing into every Club member and guest experience of our beautiful Estate, and in every communication we share. We challenge ourselves to act in ways that benefit those with whom we work, support the communities in which we do business, protect and sustain the environment, and provide an authentic and enlivening experience for all who visit.
Every person we have spoken to in our visits to the winery has gone out of their way to make us feel at home. Your staff really is the best.
My favorite Truett Hurst wine is the 2017 Estate Zinfandel because of its bold and rich flavors, and the reason I love working here is because of the wine, the guests, and the grounds. In addition to wine tasting, I like to recommend that our visitors be sure to see our beautiful Sonoma County beaches and check out all the great local restaurants.
My favorite thing about working at Truett Hurst is interacting with the employees and customers. It feels like one big happy family. My favorite motto is: Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Whatever choice you make, makes you. Choose wisely.
The thing I love most about Sonoma County is that there’s a little bit of everything so close to the country. Great wines all around, especially ours. Great restaurants, awesome food, outdoors, the beach nearby, and the snow a little further up the road. And Lake Sonoma! Love taking the family out there and enjoying a nice glass of wine, preferably our Luci Zin.
My favorite Truett Hurst wine is Southdown. It’s rich in flavor and very smooth. It also has a deep cherry note which I love. During my downtime I like to spend time with my grandkids.
My favorite Truett Hurst wines are the Rooster and the Southdown, because I really enjoy the darker fruit flavors that are aged with notes of vanilla. My idea of heaven on earth is spending time at Sea Ranch where I read up on Quantum Physics and Space-Time, create delicious dinners with my family, and end the day with a trail hike or walk on the beach.
I went to school and got degrees in political science and early childhood studies. When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a Supreme Court justice! My idea of heaven on earth is laying on the beach in Maui with a glass of bubbles.
While all the Truett Hurst wines are great, my favorite is the Osprey Cabernet. On my days off, I love to go hiking and be in the mountains. My first job was as a farmhand at a dairy.
The thing I love most about living in Sonoma County is being part of this vibrant community. Working alongside talented people in the wine industry, I get to witness what I believe to be the perfect marriage of agriculture, art, science, community, and friendship. Over my time with Truett Hurst, both customers and colleagues alike have become dear friends with whom I’ve shared many wonderful memories.
During my downtime, I like to go mountain bike riding through Annadel state park, and the best part about Sonoma County are the multitude of state and regional parks that everyone can enjoy.
The thing I love most about living in Sonoma County is how small town it feels even though our population is quite large! My entire family is from this area and I always feel as though I’m running into a familiar face around town. Some of my favorite things to do here are grabbing a sandwich at The Dry Creek General Store on my way out to the Russian River, hiking one of the many trails available in this area, or stopping at Freestone Artisan Cheese on my way out to the coast for the day.
