Celebrate Native American winemakers by supporting these Indigenous-owned brands.
This year, we saw many winemakers adopting and embracing natural winemaking. As someone studying wine academically, I’m constantly seeking sources for information on the stories behind our winemaking and wine-sharing practices in North America, so I’ve been interested in researching where these winemaking concepts originated.
Avant Partir representative Amanda Kimbrough was the first to educate me about natural winemaking practices adopted from Indigenous agricultural principles, particularly noting the widespread lack of credit given to Native Americans and First Nations people.
Gomez has pioneered many wine projects over the years. In the early 2000s, she started her first label, Kalawashaq’ Wine Cellars, which she named after the village where her Chumash ancestors are from. She put this project on hold while she traveled the world, eventually working with Taribó in the Pyrenees Mountains of Spain.
