Hanna Winery – Alexander Valley Hospitality Center

Christine came to work at HANNA Winery full time in 1991, first in public relations and marketing, then taking over the management in 1993. In her tenure, she has directed the winery’s growth from 1,000 cases to over 50,000, with national distribution and a robust direct to consumer program through two tasting rooms and three wine clubs. Christine has repositioned the winery’s focus to Russian River Sauvignon Blanc, a consistent award winner now representing more than half of Hanna’s production, and newly available in kegs. She transitioned the winery’s dependence away from purchased fruit to an estate program and began marketing fruit from Hanna’s vineyards to other leading wineries. She also launched the award winning HANNA’s Reserve, Elias and Bismark Mountain tiers, to showcase the highest quality, small production wines made from the winery’s estate vineyards.
