August at Vino: Women Winemakers of the PNW

This August, our Thursday Night Wine Tastings are dedicated to the talented women winemakers shaping the Pacific Northwest wine scene — featuring Bethany Ford NATIONAL SALES MANAGER, OWNER, GRAPE STOMPER!

Bethany fell in love with Pinot Noir in the Santa Ynez Valley while she was earning a BFA in art in Los Angeles. Inspired by the craft and process of making wine, and having always wanted to live in the Northwest, she moved to Oregon in 2005. Bethany joined the team at Illahe Vineyards in 2009 after gaining experience with some of Oregon's top wineries. Her sales experience drove Illahe's success in transitioning from a winery with a small distribution radius to achieving recognition in 35 markets internationally. At harvest, you can find her in work boots doing lab work, punch downs, and fruit sorting – she often cooks lunch for the entire crew, as well. Bethany has a WSET Level 2 Award for Wine and Spirits. She is also the mom of two adorable little ones, Beckett and Miette, and is Brad’s wife.

Join us every Thursday in August as we raise a glass to women winemakers of the PNW and celebrate the creativity, strength, and artistry they bring to every bottle. 🍷
