Read on to get the full scoop!
Who
We (Emily Weber & Nina Kravetz) met in a wine shop in Santa Rosa, CA.
We pulled off the first Big West Wine Fest in 2021
with the help of a dozen (12) volunteers
and two (2) borrowed wagons.Then we turned our side project into a full on production company (with much encouragement and support from our incredibly inspiring community of chefs, artists, agriculturalists & craftspeople.)
Today, we produce three (3) beloved beverage festivals in Northern California and work with clients around the country to create sustaining, brand-defining experiences.
We have a soft spot for food, beverage brands, companies that love the outdoors, cultural institutions, wellness brands, artists, healers & makers of all kinds.
