In honor of International Women's Day, we wanted to share a couple of facts about our brand:

+ Avaline isn't only female-founded, it's female-run

+ Over 90% of our company is made up of women

Read on to meet a few ladies from our team and learn about the wines they love to sip.

Meet Kritika & Mackenzie:

What do you do at Avaline?

Kritika: I'm our Senior Manager of Brand Operations & Innovation – I help launch new products and try to keep us organized!

Mackenzie: I run all of Avaline's social platforms!

Why do you love working for a women-owned brand / with a team that's made up of mostly women?

Kritika: I love working with a team of such amazing women, and especially seeing women in leadership roles. Our team keeps me motivated and inspires me everyday. Each of us brings a unique and valuable perspective to every project, and we have built such a collaborative culture that gives room for us to learn and grow together.  

Mackenzie: I love this because everyone comes from a place of deep passion for what they do. This thoughtfulness is shown in every part of our brand through photography, copy, branding, etc. Women have a habit of finding the beauty in things and being able to capture it in a way that feels relatable. The feeling of community and relatability is something *most* women understand the importance of. I love this because we not only get to create this environment for our outside community but as well as within our brand. 

What's your favorite Avaline wine to sip?

Kritika: Currently, it's our White Blend for me! My roommate and I love opening up a bottle for our Friday wine nights. 

Mackenzie: My favorite way to sip Avaline Grenache Blanc is with my girlfriends, candles lit, Frank Ocean in the background, and lots of laughs.

We have so many creative and talented Women at Avaline and it's exciting to be a part of a female-driven team in a predominantly male industry. Every day is an inspiration working with and learning from the best of the best!

Our new Cabernet is great for a girls’ night in and the Rosé is fantastic for outdoor entertaining.

Meet Alyssa:

What do you do at Avaline?

I'm the Copywriter and Brand Storyteller—pretty much every word you see on the site, in our emails & on our social channels is written or edited by me :)

Why do you love working for a women-owned brand / with a team that's made up of mostly women?

Something I love about working with other women is that we really take the time to listen to each other. I feel valued by the ladies I work with—I feel seen. We all respect and support each other. It's like a little family.

What's your favorite Avaline wine to sip?

I looove our Sparkling! For celebrations, of course, but also for any old weeknight at home. It's really well made (actually my dad, who has worked in wine for 40 years, is very impressed by the producer we partner with for this wine—they are legends in the wine world) and pairs well with everything from pizza to salads to potato chips.

Meet Jamie:

Why do you love working for a women-owned brand / with a team that's made up of mostly women?

I love working for a women-owned brand because it makes me feel empowered. To know that someone deals with the same level of challenges that I experience as a woman at some capacity is reassuring and gives me a vision.

What's your favorite Avaline wine to sip?

I love a nice glass of Red or Rosé laying on the couch watching the Lakers game with my dog and my fiancé.
