Partner & Sales & Winery Relations TAYLOR BARTOLUCCI

Taylor is the younger daughter of Andrea and Susan Bartolucci. Like Brette, she spent her formative years on the family’s Madonna Vineyard in Carneros.

From a very early age Taylor enjoyed helping her father with various tasks in the vineyard and the winery. Over time, these tasks developed into a full-time job.

During her teenage years she worked in the cellar and vineyard, and following gradua­tion from high school began giving tours in the tasting room during her vacations home from college. It was at this time that she also began assisting her family with public re­lation events.

In 2004, Taylor graduated from Pepperdine University with a B.A. in Theatre Arts. She promptly accepted a job at a public relations firm in Los Angeles and began to build her knowledge and skills. While in Los Angeles, she continued to assist with special events at the winery and enrolled in the University of California, Davis Viticulture and Enology distance-learning program. In July of 2005, she returned to Napa and joined Brette and her father as a partner in the winery and Director of Sales and Winery Rela­tions. Upon completion of her Davis coursework in July 2006, Taylor graduated and received a certificate degree in Winemaking.

Today, she is a member of the Napa Valley Vintner Association, and when she is not traveling, an avid performer in local theatrical productions. As a fourth-generation member of the Bartolucci family, she has enthusiastically made a commitment to help carry on the family legacy. Taylor is ex­cited about the future of Madonna Estate and is dedicated to continuing the premium grape growing and fine winemaking that has been created by the three generations be­fore her. She and her husband Dominic welcomed Rocco Elliot on September 21, 2017 and Gia Anne on April 4, 2019.
