In this special episode we take you out into the field to explore two impactful programs: the Patrick Foley Fields of Opportunity Summer Mentorship Program and NVG’s Paso Adelante committee.
First, we attend the Fields of Opportunity graduation, where 30 students completed an intensive 8-week summer mentorship. We heard firsthand from students, their mentors, and special guests. Then, Cris Romero, a founding member of Paso Adelante, shares how this new initiative is paving the way for young professionals in viticulture and winemaking. Tune in to discover how these programs are shaping the future of our wine industry and creating opportunities for the next generation of leaders right here in Napa Valley. Episode Highlights
"Our hope was that we could connect local high school students with a career opportunity in their backyard, in the wine industry. It began as a two-week program and has evolved into a full summer mentorship that really has fostered or helped us foster the next generation of industry leaders." - Sonya DeLuca
"I absolutely see the Paso Adelante committee or people impacting the industry. It’s really a space for the next generation of decision makers to come together and meet and kind of form that network... a passing of the baton, a bridging of the gap between this young generation and the older one that's already established." - Cris Romero "Because as we know in the Valley, we're all connected. Whether it is from picking the grapes, to processing them, to bottling it, to selling it, we're all one. You're part of something bigger here." - Myra Ayala
