Luna's Winemaker Shawna Miller graduated from Virginia Tech with a forestry degree, then worked for several management agencies and university facilities across the U.S. Achieving another level of education, Shawna received a UC Extension Winemaking Certificate from UC Davis, California, exchanging trees for vines, and groundwater samples for barrel samples.

Shawna joined Luna Vineyards after working for several high profile wineries throughout the Napa Valley, New Zealand, and Australia, such as Beaulieu Vineyards, Cape Mentelle, and Rombauer Winery. During this time, Shawna learned from many accomplished winemakers, including Tom Peterson, Philippe Melka, Julian Fayard, Rob Lloyd, and Robert Mann. From these world-renowned brands, came a woman who isn't afraid of some dirt under her nails or the long, harvest days in the cellar.
