We are pleased to feature the wines of Bibiana González Rave, who will be visiting our area this week. This is a great opportunity to connect directly with one of California’s most distinctive winemakers and her two acclaimed labels, Cattleya Wines and Alma de Cattleya.
🌿 ALMA DE CATTLEYA
The soul of the land in every bottle
Alma de Cattleya focuses on Sonoma County, Napa Valley, and the broader California appellation. These wines are crafted to reflect the agricultural landscape of orchards, vineyards, and farms that define California’s coastal wine regions.
The project was inspired by Bibiana’s desire to connect her California winemaking with her native Colombia. The name reflects both her heritage and the spirit of the land that shapes her wines.
