Check out our employee spotlight for October and meet one of our newer employees Zach!

Zach’s been working with us at Sunce Winery for about 8 weeks. Born and raised in Santa Rosa, he’s no stranger to Sunce Winery ☀️.He grew up going to winery event days with his parents such as the crush party (coming soon) and has always enjoyed the winery atmosphere. His favorite Sunce varietal is the Trois Amis, which pairs great with pasta, don’t be afraid to test that out 😉

Aside from his vast wine 🍷 knowledge, Zach enjoys fun outdoor activities such as kayaking, specifically at McCovey cove when baseball games are in session. He’s even caught a few balls!

Don’t be afraid to say hi to him when you see him in our tasting room! 🍷

Hold on, new employee spotlight of the month here!
If you’ve been around our tasting room anytime in the past year, you’ve probably met Haylee! She’s been working at Sunce Winery for about a year now, but her parents have been loyal wine club members since she was 7 years old! Haylee grew up babysitting the Franicevic sisters, and considers Sunce Winery a second home. Her favorite Sunce Varietal 🍷 is the 2020 Cab, which pairs great with Tuna Steaks!

When she’s not working in our tasting room, Haylee likes to spend her time making diamond art paintings and partaking in tye dye day events.

She’s not only fun to be around, but she’s also educated.📚 👩‍🎓 Haylee’s finishing up her final semester at Cal Poly Humboldt with a major in criminal justice. Feel free to say hi to Haylee if you catch her in our tasting room!

Woah! Who’s this handsome fellow?
Well, my name is Bryce, and I am the new social media manager for Sunce Winery ☀️ 🍷

A little about me: I’m from (and still located in) Ventura County, CA, so I’m a bit farther away from Sunce than i’d like to be, but don’t get me wrong, I make more than enough time to come up and get my Sunce tastings in. it’s just that good!

I was actually up in Santa Rosa last week and had a blast taking photos around the winery!
I enjoy working on cars, cooking, baking, and doing outdoor activities in my spare time. But above all, I am an enjoyer of the best wine that the Russian River Valley has to offer, with my favorite Sunce wine being the Grenache.🍷Pair it with a good steak and you have a perfect summer evening dinner. Thank me later 😉
