Emma Healion was born and raised in Ireland. She moved to the US in the late 90’s and pursued a career in hospitality in Colorado focusing on wine. After attending Oregon Pinot Camp in 2002 she caught the bug and eventually moved out west to immerse herself in the industry. Emma has spent the last 17 plus years working for Wine Distributors and Wineries.

Hedges approach to Biodynamic farming and a more sustainable way of doing business drew her to Red Mountain.

Emma lives in Portland Oregon with her partner, Eric and their two rescue Boxers, Mac and Mia. She loves reading, hiking, going to concerts and entertaining. She still has strong ties to Ireland and goes back whenever she can.
