California’s picturesque Napa Valley is known for its undulating vineyards, historic wineries nestled among the trees, and quaint towns that dot the countryside. It is also home to many amazing women who have made names for themselves with wineries and boutique businesses throughout the area. Wine Country Women of Napa Valley celebrates 65 of these leading ladies, shining a light on the entrepreneurial spirits, winemaking expertise, culinary skills, and artistic abilities of the women who make this valley unique.
This sumptuous gallery is also a guide to entertaining, offering a collection of treasured family recipes—ranging from appetizers to soups, salads, entrées, and desserts—along with recommendations for companion wines and spirits. The book also features compelling, exploratory, and expressive portraits of each contributor, photographed by Dona Kopol Bonick, who is considered to be Napa Valley’s elite portraitist.
Learn about the women whose families helped put Napa Valley on the map, and discover others who run notable businesses such as E. & J. Gallo Winery, PlumpJack Group, and Boudin Bakery. This is a tale of passion, vision, and the incredible community of dynamic women whose collective spirit makes up Napa Valley.
