After working in digital commerce for Tory Burch and Theory for almost six years in New York, Sarah returned to her wine country roots to co-found Bricoleur Vineyards with her parents. Sarah carries on in the tradition of her great-great-grandfather, Pietro Carlo Rossi, who revolutionized California winemaking in the 19th century as the original oenologist for Sonoma’s Italian Swiss Colony. Sarah’s background in the fashion industry has informed her insightful decision-making, creativity, and leadership at Bricoleur Vineyards. She has seamlessly led all facets of the tasting room, culinary program, hospitality, special events, and imaginative offerings at Bricoleur Vineyards.

Sarah Hanson Citron is the estate’s energetic, creative, hands-on COO and leads many aspects of Bricoleur’s business and the winery’s inventive offerings. Sarah has a passion for wine and food and is thrilled to be partnering with her parents as they build their family business together.

Sarah has also become an advocate for cancer research. She was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer last year at the age of 32, and has established Bricoleur Vineyards’ Sip With Purpose campaign which raises money for cancer research funded by the V Foundation. The winery’s critically acclaimed Isla Rose Brut Rosé is named after Sarah’s daughter, Isla Rose Citron.

Sarah is moderator for the BRICOLEUR VINEYARDS LUNCHEON on Saturday, March 1 at 12:00 PM.
