Darcie Kent- Artist and Winemaker

Darcie Kent is a fifth-generation artist and winemaker. Darcie’s great grandfather moved from Switzerland to America in 1875 to make a career in winemaking. His Alpine Winery lasted till 1945, after which he was forced to close his production. In 2013, Darcie, along with her husband, David, and daughters, Amanda and Kailyn, bought the estate vineyard and winery and began its renovation. Today, they produce wines in their state-of-the-art winery with all modern machines and winemaking equipment. She uses her original artwork on the labels of her wines and tries to show the spirit of their vineyards in each of the beautiful labels.
