🍷 Meet Melissa! Our Operations Manager for Augusta Wine Co.!
Originally from St. Louis, Melissa’s life and career have taken her across the pond and eventually brought her to Augusta, MO. Since joining the team, she’s had a hand in a whole lot of fixing up, improving, and keeping things running across all four of our winery properties — and we’re incredibly thankful for everything she does behind the scenes!
One of Melissa’s favorite parts of the wine industry is the experimentation that comes with it, along with the archaeological history surrounding wine and winemaking. 🍇
Off the clock, Melissa enjoys spending time with family, reading H.P. Lovecraft, scuba diving, hiking, traveling to national parks, and exploring museums and aquariums. 🤿🥾📚
And her favorite Augusta Wine Co. pour? Montelle Winery’s Seyval Blanc! 🥂
Melissa has already made an impact across all four properties, and we’re so thankful to have her as part of the Augusta Wine Co. team! ❤️
Everyone say "HEYYYY Melissa!" 🍷🥰
