Andrea

Andrea's wine journey began working at a small winery in Idaho, where she fell in love with wine's ability to bring people together. After re-evaluating her priorities during the pandemic, she followed her passion and became a certified sommelier, completing her WSET1, 2, and 3 all in one year at Napa Valley Wine Academy. She was also a recipient of the Wine Unify Elevate scholarship and Cooper’s Hawk BIPOC scholarship. Andrea started her personal sommelier business, Bon Vivant Noir, with a mission to make wine accessible, approachable, and fun. She believes that wine is more than just a drink but a way to connect people to the world, and she wants to share that experience with others. Andrea aims to pay it forward by being a mentor to others and promoting diversity in the traditionally male-dominated industry.
