Cristina Gonzales is the granddaughter of migrant farm workers from Texas, who moved to Wisconsin to pick cherries in search of a better life. She comes from a long lineage of those who work with their hands. This lineage fuels her passion for the welfare of vineyard stewards, without which we wouldn't have the beautiful wines we do.
In 2020, Cristina joined the nonprofit AHIVOY as a board member to help with the mission of empowering vineyard stewards. Learn more about Cristina, her mission to uplift vineyard stewards, and Gonzales wines on our About the Winemaker page. Includes 2 bottles every 6 months, custom merch such as a tote bag or print, and subscription benefits.
