Amanda Laden, CEO and Founder of Austin Wine Week

About the Program:

Amanda Laden is a global wine storyteller with dirt on her boots, wine on her passport, and a mission to uncork the world’s most untold bottles. A certified wine educator, former importer, and industry veteran, Amanda has worked in the trenches of the global wine trade—from boutique London wine shops to selling top-tier wines to Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver.

From April 26 -May 2, Central Texas celebrates the people, places, and pours that are putting Texas on the map. Austin Wine Week isn’t your average sip-and-stroll—it’s a full-throttle Texas showcase where the state’s boldest bottles take center stage.

Austin Wine Week is a brand new, citywide celebration of Texas wine, the people behind it, and the businesses that bring it to life.
