Shawna Miller
Winemaker & Proprietor
Enchanted by the ancient mystique of wine and love of plant science, Shawna fell in love with the magic of winemaking on day one of working at a winery. She spent most of her twenties traveling around the world learning the secrets of winemaking, including harvests in New Zealand, Australia and Napa Valley.
Approaching her 20th harvest, she has had the pleasure of working at many incredible wineries and alongside such notable winemakers as Celia Welch and Philippe Melka.
Recently she was recognized as one of the most influential female winemakers of the world, representing the U.S. in Decanter Magazine. Shawna passionately ran the Luna Vineyards winemaking program from 2011until the winery’s sale in 2021. She created Earthshine Wines to continue producing wines that move the soul from vineyards that warm her heart.
Shawna also works as a consulting winemaker for several prestigious Napa brands under her brand Shawna Miller Wine.
It’s a Family Affair
Shawna is supported by her loving family Zak, Zaira, and Monty. Also a winemaker, self-proclaimed Trophy Husband Zak loves to have a great time. You will see him at every wine club party and often frequenting the tasting room for fun. Read about their untraditional journey to winemaking HERE.
