Gina Giugni, a second-generation biodynamic farmer, began Lady of the Sunshine in 2017 as a personal project and an invitation to care more deeply, farm more gently, and drink with intention - a commitment to thoughtful farming, natural winemaking, and cultivating a lasting relationship with the land as an act of preservation.
What started as a journey of leasing small vineyard plots over the years, Gina and her husband, Mikey, found their forever farm in 2024, the 29-acre Bassi Vineyard, located just one mile from the Pacific Ocean in the SLO Coast AVA. Bassi is now at the heart of the project, but a piece of the total 42 acres that they farm together with a deep respect for the natural rhythms of the earth.
All the Lady of the Sunshine wines are made naturally - with native yeast, no additions and bottled unfiltered - these wines are shaped by the purity of the land. Her wines reflect the texture of the landscape, its structure and freshness, a love letter from the Central Coast of California.
