WINE EXPERT
Sara Hitchcock
Rooted in California’s coastal wine country and refined in Napa Valley’s cooler-climate vineyards, Sara brings a vibrant, hospitality-driven perspective to every glass.
Raised in the beach towns and wine country of San Luis Obispo County, Sara developed an early appreciation for the connection between place, food, and wine. She moved to Napa Valley in 2009 to pursue her passion for wine and hospitality, immersing herself in one of the world’s leading wine regions. In 2017, she completed the WSET Advanced certification, further deepening her expertise.
Sara is proud to be part of Arietta Wine, a Napa Valley producer known for limited-production, Bordeaux-style wines crafted from carefully selected vineyard sites across the region’s cooler districts, including Coombsville and Carneros. These sites benefit from maritime influence from the San Pablo Bay, contributing to the balance, freshness, and elegance that define Arietta’s wines.
Outside of work, Sara enjoys hiking, dancing, playing bocce ball, traveling, attending art and music events, and sharing exceptional food and wine with friends and family.
