Welcome back to Beats Vines & Life, where music, wine, and stories of resilience intersect! In this episode, host MJ Towler sits down with Brene Royal—the trailblazing founder of Violet’s Paradise and Violet’s Paradise Scholarship. As a respected leader in Sonoma viticulture and a former vineyard manager at the iconic Monte Rosso Vineyard, Brene Royale shares her journey from humble beginnings in Biloxi, Mississippi, to managing one of California’s most esteemed vineyards.

Get ready to dive into her unique approach to farming, her passion for crafting limited-production wines sourced from legendary vines, and how her late black lab, Violet, inspired an entire wine brand and scholarship. Throughout the conversation, MJ Towler and Brene Royal laugh about early wine discoveries, the realities of working the land, and the power of community, representation, and authenticity in the wine industry.

Whether you’re a wine enthusiast, a lover of good stories, or seeking inspiration to carve your own path, this episode invites you into Brene Royal’s world of Beats, Vines, and Life. Cheers, and let’s get started!
