✨ The wine industry is evolving and leadership is evolving with it. ✨ Women remain underrepresented in winemaking and executive roles across major wine regions. Yet their influence continues to grow across vineyard management, cellar decisions, sustainability strategy, and hospitality. At Sommsation, we see that shift firsthand. More than half of our team is made up of women, and we intentionally partner with women-owned wineries, female winemakers, and women-led estates shaping the future of wine. This Women’s History Month, we’re spotlighting the producers and professionals influencing what ends up in the glass and who feels welcome at the table. 🥂 Read More: https://lnkd.in/gYj_kfKV #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInWine #WineIndustry #Leadership #Sommsation

Park City delivered, and the glasses stayed full through an unforgettable weekend. Sommsation was proud to bring wine to the center of film premiere celebrations on Main Street, partnering with Cinema Center to pour thoughtfully curated wines during after-premiere gatherings for films debuting throughout the festival. Over several nights at LOMA, guests gathered to unwind, connect, and celebrate storytelling in all its forms. The wines poured reflected that same spirit: independent producers, distinctive sites, and bottles chosen for their sense of place and personality. Each pour added to the rhythm of the evening, creating space for conversation and connection long after the credits rolled. These moments weren’t about spectacle. They were about presence. Filmmakers, creatives, and industry leaders came together in rooms where ideas flowed as easily as the wine, shaping evenings that felt meaningful and memorable. Park City continues to be a reminder of why Sommsation shows up where creativity lives: to elevate the moment, amplify independent voices, and create experiences that feel intentional, warm, and lasting. Grateful for the partners, the people, and the stories shared along the way.

Ladera Vineyards has been crafting mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon in Napa Valley since 1998. Founded by Pat and Anne Stotesbery, the winery also produces Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from its Pillow Road Estate Vineyard in the Russian River Valley. From the beginning, Ladera has focused on small-production wines that emphasize balance, structure, and the expression of each vineyard site. Since 2012, winemaker Jade Barrett has guided the program. With experience in New Zealand, Australia, and Napa Valley, Jade has continued Ladera’s vineyard-driven approach, producing wines with natural acidity, structured tannins, and age-worthiness. At Sommsation, highlighting producers like Ladera is core to our work. Sommsation focuses on independent wineries with a clear sense of place, and Ladera’s long-term commitment to mountain viticulture fits naturally within that lens. For collectors, sommeliers, and enthusiasts, Ladera’s portfolio offers a compelling range of mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley. Explore these wines through Sommsation to experience the care, craft, and expression behind each bottle. https://bit.ly/4h3DaDt
