Tara Katrina Hole Director of Sales and Marketing
Jericho Canyon Vineyard

After visiting Napa Valley in the fall of her freshman year, Tara transferred from Mount Holyoke College to UC Davis where she studied Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior as well as Managerial Economics. At Davis, she designed and taught an upper division biosciences course titled “Biochemicals, Corticosteroids, Psychotropics, and You” which covered the biochemistry of wine metabolism.

With a burgeoning interest in wine and agriculture, Tara joined Jericho Canyon as an intern in the summer of 2007. In the field, she cultivated an enduring appreciation for the labor involved in farming. Tara continued to return in subsequent years, assisting in various aspects of operations. In 2012, she accepted a position with Jericho Canyon as director of sales and marketing.

In addition to her role at Jericho Canyon, Tara has served as a guest speaker at UC Davis in both the Viticulture and Enology and Agricultural and Resource Economics departments with topics including sustainable viticulture and luxury wine brands. 

Throughout their undergraduate years at UC Davis, Nicholas Bleecher and his high school sweetheart, Tara Katrina Hole, returned home to Jericho Canyon, exchanging Marla's home cooked Italian dinners and laundry access for cellar work and harvest help. In 2011, after gaining experience abroad and finishing UC Davis' winemaking program, Nicholas completed his first full vintage at Jericho Canyon. Today, he is the on site winemaker, overseeing all aspects of day to day winemaking and custom crush while Tara handles the sales and marketing side.
