5th Generation Winegrower & Vice President of Marketing and Experiences
As the Vice President of Marketing and Experiences, Aly Wente oversees the marketing organization and growth for the entire Wente Family Estates portfolio of brands and supervises the digital and e-commerce, customer experience, and wine club management teams.
Prior to joining the family business, Aly held brand marketing roles at Constellation Brands, where she led strategy and development for a portfolio of their luxury brands. During her time at Constellation, she managed the growth and success of Robert Mondavi Winery and Mount Veeder Winery of Napa Valley, Simi Winery of Sonoma County, and Champagne Palmer & Co. of Champagne, France. Before this, Aly honed her skills working on community outreach marketing for a private land developer outside of the wine industry.
Aly studied Broadcast Journalism at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, from which she received her Bachelor of Science in Journalism in 2013. During her years as an undergraduate, Aly honed exceptional communications skills that she now uses each day.
Aly also serves on numerous boards: the Wente Foundation for Arts Education Board, the Board of Directors for Wine Institute, the Livermore Valley Chamber of Commerce, and the Livermore Valley Winegrowers Foundation Board. She grew up exploring all sides of the family business and thanks to her father, Phil Wente, for always sharing his passion for wine and helping to foster the same love in her.
Outside of work, Aly enjoys spending time with her friends and family, most specifically her husband Nathan and their golden retriever, Chili. She regularly takes trips to Tahoe in the winter, as she is an avid snow skier, and during the summers, she enjoys wakeboarding and hiking.
