Are You Your Parents’ Daughter?

EVENT DETAILS

As adults, most of us do some soul-searching about how we are like our families and how we are different. Our next guest found an amazing way to blend the two.

April Gargiulo grew up on her parents’ winery, becoming part of a business that depends on nature and craft to create something unique and special. But while her family’s business developed delicious wine that people put “in” their bodies, April used her love of the land and her understanding of the need for uncompromising standards to do something different.

From Napa Valley, she conceptualized, created and cultivated Vintner’s Daughter, a category-defining skincare line that blends both ancient and modern techniques to create one of the most coveted and beloved skincare brands around. April will join us to talk about her journey to define herself as well as her brand, to overcome the obstacles she faced, and to grow in confidence and vision along the way. We can’t wait to see you there. Anne & Arielle
