Founders and Executive Directors

Why was the Napa Valley Hospitality Forum Created?

The Napa Valley Hospitality Forum was founded in 2012 by Kerry Andrews and George Blanckensee. George and Kerry realized the need for like-minded professionals in the wine industry to be able to gather and discuss the operational opportunities and challenges we face in the valley; finding and sharing common solutions and ideas.
