In the year 2000, she found a way to combine her passion for a very interactive, customer centered focus with her love of the Livermore Valley wine industry. At that time, Carole co-founded a bed and breakfast inn, ran a wine tasting room, and began planning weddings and other corporate events for a local winery. She has helped many times with the wine crush, making the wine, and all aspects of service to the customer. Carole then managed a specialty women’s clothing boutique in Pleasanton and continued to work events at wineries in the area. She went on to manage some of the food service activities at a local golf course and continued to help plan and execute events at a local winery. Carole is now at Crooked Vine Winery and back doing the things she loves best.
