Victoria De Crescenzo

Proprietor, Bevan Cellars

Victoria De Crescenzo was born in Southern California, surrounded by horse farms and orange groves. Wine was not a part of her world until she moved to Des Moines and began attending wine-tasting classes at a local wine shop. After meeting Russell Bevan, a colleague in the dental industry, they began making wine together. Their first vintage was in 2005; less than 20 years later, Bevan Cellars is a highly acclaimed producer with several Petaluma Gap wines in their portfolio. Here's Victoria's story.
