Sagemoor Estates Hires Mandy Walters to Lead Hospitality & Elevated Wine Experiences

We’re thrilled to introduce you to Mandy Walters, our new Director of Hospitality & Experiences. With over 20 years in wine and hospitality, Mandy is passionate about creating memorable experiences that foster lasting connections—whether it’s a private tasting, a vineyard dinner, or an unforgettable event at our Glass House or Estate House. 

A Chicago native with a bachelor’s degree in Hospitality and Tourism from Southern Illinois University and a master’s degree in Agribusiness Economics, Mandy’s roots run deep in the Windy City. A true sports enthusiast, she’s also a self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur. (Maybe there are brick oven pizza nights in our future?)

Danny Gordon, General Manager for Sagemoor Vineyards and Sagemoor Estates, says: “With her extensive hospitality background, customer-first approach, and ability to create meaningful wine experiences, Mandy is the perfect person to help Sagemoor Estates usher in an exciting new era in the Walla Walla Valley.”

Mandy is working behind the scenes to craft unique experiences that highlight our rich history since 1972 through the lens of our people, vineyards, and estate wines. Here’s a sneak peek:

✨ Enhanced Wine Club: We are reimagining our wine club programming with member benefits that go beyond the bottle. Expect personalized touches, exclusive access, and experiences tailored just for you.

✨ Curated Experiences & Private Events: Whether it's an evening at the Glass House atop Southwind Vineyard with sweeping views of the Walla Walla Valley, a private wine dinner at our Estate House, or a bespoke picnic at our picturesque Bacchus and Dionysus Vineyards, Mandy is crafting educational wine experiences that celebrate the stories behind every bottle.
