Diana Snowden Seysses

Born in Napa, California, Diana grew up on the 70ha of vineyards and forests of Snowden Ranch, acquired by her grandparents in 1955, in the hills east of Napa Valley.

She obtained her Bachelor of Science in Viticulture and Oenology, with Spanish option, from the University of Davis in 2001.

Diana has completed numerous internships in both California and France, including a viticultural internship at Domaine Robert Mondavi in California, where she met Jeremy Seysses, owner of Domaine Dujac. In 2003, Diana moved full-time to Domaine Dujac in Morey-Saint-Denis, where she works as an oenologist.

In 2005, she became winemaker at her family's Snowden Vineyards in Saint Helena. She also supports Domaine Triennes in the Var as a consultant, and has been winemaking at Domaine Ashes & Diamonds in Napa, California since 2016.

Diana believes that the most moving and memorable wines are those of terroir. As a member of the Académie Internationale du Vin, she defends noble wines with all her heart, even more so since her appointment to the AIV board.

Diana is also a member of the Board of Porto Protocol, a network dedicated to ecological and sustainable viticulture. She recently became a member of the Board of Directors of the Department of Viticulture and Oenology at UC Davis.
