After living in Hawaii since a teen, Kelly Mitchell took the plunge after 36 years and realized her dream of living in wine country.

From the stove to the table, farming, pairing, pouring and creating world-class experiences.

Champagne, a delicious Rosé, or 2013 Bordeaux and Foie gras as prepared by Napa’s 1313 Main Street. Kelly Mitchell relishes a good bottle of wine and has become indiscriminate about the grape but more intrigued by the quality of the nectar. She explores scores of wine varietals across the globe.

Some of the wineries included were Domaine de la Romanée–Conti , Olivier Bernstein, Chateau Gassier, Champagne Gosset, Domain LeFlaive and Château du Moulin-à-Vent .

She loves to collaborate with like-minded people and leverage the best possible results for her clients in wine, food and travel. The challenge is a key motivator for her, curiosity an integral part of her psyche. In her words: “I’ve acquired an algorithm from NASA, created a sexy Studio for web development, and post-production work. Took three companies to multi-million dollar revenue levels, ranked top of a national real estate brand, completed a marathon, and placed 3rd in a triathlon.
