Gigi grew up frequenting Napa as a much-loved family retreat from the dreary skies of Seattle. Surrounded by Italian wines for as long as she can remember, her family has been producing their own bottles for years now and pouring their best work with close friends. Recently, Gigi sold her clothing business and returned to school to earn a Masters in Wine and Beverage Studies from the Culinary Institute of America. An avid traveller, she has begun to share her passion for discovering new paths to wellness with like-minded women at small gatherings that emphasize the importance of balancing physical and spiritual well being with personal creativity.
Born and raised in the Napa Valley, Amanda Harlan has been immersed her entire life in the cultural, entrepreneurial, and philanthropic life of the region. A dedicated equestrian, she became an accomplished member of the U.S. Junior Olympic Dressage team. After earning a degree in Psychology from the University of Southern California, Amanda began her professional life at LVMH, where she broadened her knowledge of international wine. Her entrée into the Harlan winegrowing domain came in 2014, when she worked harvest in the BOND cellar. Today, Amanda brings an affinity for community and a global perspective to her role in developing and strengthening the culture of her family’s endeavors.
