Meet the Winemaker : Gretchen Voelcker

  • Cailloux Cheese Shop 1623 Mission Drive Solvang, CA, 93463 United States (map)

Join us for an evening of tasting some incredible wines from winemaker, Gretchen Voelcker. She is the winemaker and creator of Luna Hart Wines as well as the winemaker for Piazza Family Wines.  Her passion for wine began while living in Europe and visiting the many wonderful wine regions and vignobles in France.  This passion was fueled by her love of nature and all things outdoors bringing her to California where she has had the fortune of working with gifted winemakers, mentors and role-models. 

After studying Business & French at Georgetown University and earning a degree in plant science from University of California, Santa Cruz, she moved to Santa Barbara County. She worked at Rideau Vineyard for six years, starting as an intern and eventually became the assistant winemaker.   Along the way, she worked with Ryan Roark as a vineyard and production assistant which was the catalyst to her beginnings as a small batch winemaker.

Now you can find her at Piazza Bella Vista in Ballard Canyon where she is the winemaker producing minimal interference wines from organically grown Estate grapes.

Tasting: $30/person
