Before we focus on we’d like to introduce our volunteer board members who work to promote and support all things Carneros…in addition to our day (and night and weekend jobs)!
👉🏻Swipe to say hi 👋 and learn a little bit about us! 🍷🍇🍾⛅️
Leading off: Chair Betsie Hidalgo 🌟 from Bouchaine Vineyards
I’m incredibly proud to serve as Board Chair of the Carneros Wine Alliance and to be part of a community that continues to inspire me both personally and professionally.
My career has taken me from San Francisco to New York City, where I spent years building a career in events and experiential marketing, and now to Carneros, where I have the privilege of leading events at Bouchaine Vineyards. Each chapter has shaped my appreciation for the power of bringing people together and creating meaningful experiences. I feel especially fortunate that my professional journey has brought me to this true gem in Wine Country and a unique AVA that spans both Napa and Sonoma. It’s a special place with a character all its own, and one I am proud to represent and help champion.
That same commitment to bringing people together is at the heart of my work with the Carneros Wine Alliance. As Board Chair, one of my goals is to broaden our reach, strengthen connections across our community, and create new opportunities for our partners to thrive.
Through the introduction of our new Community Partner membership tier, we are creating more opportunities for local businesses and organizations to be part of the Carneros story. We will also continue to develop meaningful initiatives that strengthen our organization, elevate the Carneros community, and support the partners who make this place so special.
There is so much to celebrate in Carneros, and even more to look forward to. I’m excited about what’s ahead and the new ideas, collaborations, and experiences on the horizon. Stay tuned. There is so much more to come! 🍷
