Lily Hays

Board of Directors Member

As a Certified Sommelier with deep roots in the Santa Barbara wine industry, I feel so fortunate to be a part of this community. My professional journey includes 9 years in wine sales in Lake Tahoe, CA and 6 years in Santa Barbara wine production and sales, currently with SAMsARA Wine Co.

In addition to my industry experience and my role as Secretary of the Santa Barbara Vintners Foundation Board, I am also a nursing student at Santa Barbara City College. In this new career path I hope to unite my dedication to the people who tend the vineyards and make the wine with the ability to advocate for and serve those in need of mental and physical health care services in my hometown of Santa Barbara and in our beautiful wine region.
