A Day in the Napa Valley
Our latest cohort of Executive Wine MBA students were on campus last week for classes and a great wine business trip in the Napa Valley. We visited with our alumni and their colleagues at iconic brands, known for luxury and pricing power. Our speakers included:
Trini Amador - Senior Manager, Luxury Vineyards at E&J Gallo Winery
Andrew Delos - Vice President of Winemaking at Far Niente Winery
Daniel Dillon - Associate Brand Manager for Spire Collection at Jackson Family Wines
Tyler Elwell - Brand Manager at Jackson Family Wines
John McCarthy - Director of Vineyard Operations at Far Niente Winery
Julie Secviar - Vice President of Human Resources, Far Niente Winery
Alexis Traverso - Director of Digital Marketing at Far Niente Winery
We spent the morning on Spring Mountain at Lokoya with the team from Jackson Family Wines and the afternoon in Oakville at Nickel & Nickel with the team from Far Niente. This week’s photo is of our students and our hosts Tyler Elwell and Daniel Dillon at Lokoya. As with previous student cohorts, this group is destined to occupy leadership positions across the wine industry.
