What if the secret to creating something truly meaningful lies in blending passion, community, and sustainability?
In this episode, we welcome Julie Johnson, founder and winemaker of Tres Sabores in Napa Valley, whose journey into wine began with love and evolved into a lifelong commitment to community, sustainability, and craftsmanship.
From her early days returning to Napa in 1980 to building a thriving winery rooted in regenerative practices, Julie shares how relationships, resilience, and curiosity shaped her path in an industry where women were just beginning to carve out space. Her story highlights the importance of honoring the land, the people behind the process, and the cultural richness that defines winemaking.
Julie’s perspective goes far beyond the vineyard. She reflects on the philosophy behind great wine—balancing the vine, the terroir, and the company—and how that same balance applies to leadership and life. Through her work, she celebrates the diverse communities that contribute to Napa Valley while championing sustainability, from farming practices to packaging decisions. Her journey is also a powerful reminder for women entering any industry: build relationships, stay authentic, and don’t be afraid to take up space.
