Who is Olivia Brion and what is Cantadora?
Olivia Brion is a fictional character. If a wine brand was a historical fiction novel, Olivia Brion would be the main character in that novel. Each bottle of wine tells a different “chapter” of her story. Life being somewhat more surprising than fiction, the stories of Olivia Brion are inspired by the full lives of real trailblazing women from history.
Pinot Noir - inspired by the story of Annie Cohn Kopchovsky, first woman to ride a bike around the world
“Les Vagabondes” Tempranillo - inspired by the the story of Effie Hotchkiss, first woman to ride a motorcycle transcontinental
“Mon Amour Interdit” Grenache - inspired by the story of Aida de Acosta, first woman in motorized flight
“Taquine” White Blend - inspired by the story of Annette Kellerman, inventor of athletic swimwear for women
Cantadora is the natural evolution of Olivia Brion. Where Olivia Brion focuses on stories from history, Cantadora features women from today, giving back to our shared community in exceptional ways.
We partner with the Cantadora women on the wines, commission a portrait from a local woman photographer, and give 10% of the sales back to the organization of the women’s choosing. These wines are rich and opulent like the incredible stories of the women on the labels.
New Releases:
2022 Cantadora “The Heart of Gold” Chardonnay features Dr. Michelle Asha Albert, Dean of Admissions for UCSF Medical School
2021 Cantadora “The Energizer for the Ages” GMS Blend features Janet Spears, CEO of the Metta Fund

We work with farmers that pride themselves on organic farming approaches, soil revival and ecological balance in the vineyard.
As winemakers we focus on meticulous detail at every stage of the process.
Finally, as wine sellers, we analyze each packaging and shipping process to hold ourselves accountable to the highest practices of sustainability. Read more about our gentle earth practices on our Philosophy page.
“Wine is a luxury good. I do not think it is beneficial to anyone to pollute the water or the air in pursuit of making luxury goods. We are mindful of our resources at every stage of the growing, winemaking, packaging, and shipping processes.”
Our Wines are inspired by the balance and tension innate in the ecology of our vineyards. Age-worthy wines is our goal at every turn.
