Meet Leyla Gonzalez, our Assistant Winemaker at Tirriddis 🥂🍾
Leyla’s love for the wine industry began at an early age. After growing up in the Horse Heaven Hills with family in the industry, she knew that studying wine was the only right choice for her. She began her education in wine at Yakima Valley College where she earned an associates degree in Vineyard Tech, then transferred to Washington State University Tri-Cities to pursue a degree in Viticulture and Enology. Throughout her studies, Leyla gained experience in different sides of the industry, from working in the vineyard, cellar and lab. During her senior year at WSU, she joined the Tirriddis team and has grown to be our Assistant Winemaker.
Next time you see Leyla, be sure to say hello!
