Key Note Speaker: Rachel Van Til

Drawing on her journey from a small, family-run winery in Michigan to overseeing one of Houston’s most prestigious wine programs, Rachel will share how curiosity, intention, and the relationships she cultivated became the foundation for big opportunities. She’ll also explore how emerging wine regions can leverage their nimbleness, authenticity, and sense of place, embracing what they are doing rather than measuring themselves against the rest of the world. By reframing origin stories, both personal and regional, Rachel will illuminate how we can relate to the wider wine landscape while confidently celebrating our own strengths. Attendees will walk away with a renewed sense of what’s possible, a deeper understanding of how to leverage their beginnings, and actionable ways to build a network, mindset, and regional pride that power their work in the wine industry and beyond.
