Many wine and beverage brands launched campaigns or products in support of LGBTQ+ Pride month in June. Wine Enthusiast published an article that shines a light on LGBTQ+ wine professionals that are committed to creating a more inclusive industry from different segments of the wine world, including Gary Farrell Winemaker Theresa Heredia.
The piece notes that Heredia has long offered support to programs within the LGBTQ+ community, both on her own and in conjunction with the winery. “One of the most notable effort has been their joint involvement with the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), one of America’s leading LGBTQ+ civil rights organizations.” Continuing, “while the winery has contributed wine and funds to HRC over the years, Heredia has conducted tasting and educational seminars, and has spoken at events held by the group.”
