Established in February 2022, the Leadership Academy focuses on helping vineyard employees develop the skills needed to assume leadership roles. The program emphasizes professional development rather than agricultural techniques, covering areas such as leadership, human resources, compliance, safety, communications, financial literacy, disaster preparedness, conflict resolution, and community resources.In 2023 and 2024, Leadership Academy participants were invited by Congressman Mike Thompson to host the Congressional Wine Caucus in Washington, D.C., touring the Capitol and sharing their experiences with Emeritus Speaker Nancy Pelosi. This opportunity highlighted the essential contributions of Sonoma County vineyard employees to the wine industry. The tradition is planned to continue in 2026, providing future classes similar opportunities to engage with policymakers.
