Marla Bedrosian

Marla Bedrosian is a Proprietor at Domaine de la Rivière, where she leads customer experience, sales, and business development efforts across the winery. With over three decades in global hospitality, she brings both warmth and precision to the guest experience, focusing on creating lasting relationships that reflect the heart of the winery.

Passionate about connection and community, Marla designs the guest journey at Domaine de la Rivière to feel like an extended family welcome rather than a typical cellar-door visit. Through thoughtful events, partnerships, and philanthropic engagement, she ensures the winery is as much about shared moments as it is about great wine. Her early days in food & beverage taught her that what's in the glass matters — but what goes around the glass matters even more.

Marla's wine story took root in the early 1990s, when she joined the team at Fairmont Hotels & Resorts and began immersing herself in the hotel's culinary, sommelier, and beverage teams. Over time she moved from “White Zinfandel” jokes to a genuine appreciation of the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay planted around her in Sonoma. The family's winery journey began when she and Geoff acquired Vineyard eleven in 2011. Today, she's still happiest with a glass of Russian River Valley wine in hand, surrounded by friends, family, and the landscape she helped bring to life.
