Bio:

Originally from a farm in Montana, Jackie Deveny’s career started in the Barossa Valley and Sydney, Australia, followed by the Marlborough in New Zealand before coming to Napa Valley. After learning in the vineyards and winemaking internships, Jackie was given the opportunity to share her experience with guests and sell the wine she helped make. From picking grapes to sales, each role has brought a new challenge and focus.

With stints at Girard, Pine Ridge, Bella Union, Seavey, Donelan and now Ballentine Vineyards, Jackie has grown to appreciate all aspects of the wine world and understands the value of each position a wine brand needs. Using this dynamic background, Jackie is now focusing on strategic development in sales and winery growth.

Outside of wine, Jackie is passionate about gardening, cooking, hiking, and the great outdoors.
