Working in the food and wine industry runs in her family, said Whitney Macdonald, senior manager, partnerships and guest experience at Visit Napa Valley.
âIâve worked in restaurants since I was 15. In college, I started working in top-notch establishments in New York City and those experiences helped guide my interest in the world of wine,â she said.
Macdonald also worked a few harvest internships, which eventually led to a career in winery hospitality in both Sonoma and Napa.
âFrom there it was a natural transition to Visit Napa Valley. Now, instead of telling one wineryâs story, I get to talk about all of the amazing tourism businesses here in the valley!â
