New Sip Sip Hooray! podcast drop. Meet the Indigenous and Queer Winemakers Crafting Bold Wines in California’s Sta. Rita Hills
Two women with a love of wine, the earth, and chemistry are at the heart of our show today. Their story is a blend of Native American and Spanish culture, but it is rooted in a love of family and belief in dreams. They are Tara Gomez and Mireia Taribó of Camins2Dreams Winery in Lompoc, California.
These winemaking wives share their journey from different continents to one shared dream. Tara is the first Native American woman winemaker, and Mireia is a Catalan chemist-turned-vintner. Wine brought them together, meeting as interns at J. Lohr in Paso Robles, to launching a winery that honors underrepresented grapes, tribal traditions, organic farming, and the LGBTQIA2S+ community. And, they’ve been known to roller skate in their Lompoc winery.
We know you’ll love getting to know Tara and Mireia, so pop the cork, pour a glass and enjoy hearing their story.
