Sparkling wine has been part of Eva Bertran’s life since the day she was born when her father placed a drop of it on her lips. Descended from a family of wine merchants, Eva was raised in Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia.

In 1986, after graduating with an MBA, Eva moved to Sonoma as part of the original team that launched Gloria Ferrer in Carneros. For the next three decades as Executive Vice President, Eva oversaw the winery operations. In the spring of 2019, Eva started her own business consulting company, Eva Bertran Consulting, where she works with domestic and international clients.

During her career, Eva developed and established boutique brands and high-volume brands from the best-known wine regions in the world. She has repositioned brands and wine appellations by honing their message; she has implemented creative and effective marketing plans for multiple brands at all price points. Eva has a deep understanding of distribution and sales in both the three-tier and direct to consumer channels. Eva has worked with both domestic, import brands as well as developed export business for California brands.

As a pentaglot (English, Catalan, Spanish, French, and Italian), Eva can order wines in any country.
