O R I G I N
WOO GIRL! believes that visibility is power — and sharing more stories of women in winemaking inspires others to imagine their place in this industry.
Opportunities in wine are abundant — but representation shapes access. At WOO GIRL!, we believe women of all ages, backgrounds, and lived experiences deserve to see themselves reflected in every corner of the industry.
This winery was founded as an anthem for women redefining what success looks like — not just in winemaking, but in how we live, work, and claim joy on our own terms.
Our wines exist to celebrate it all: the everyday, the wins that almost slipped by unnoticed, and the community that shows up for us again and again.

WHO WE ARE
Vivian Valenzuela
Vivian Valenzuela
Founder & Winemaker, WOO GIRL! Cellars
Vivian Valenzuela didn’t grow up dreaming of winemaking — but when the calling came, she answered with intention and fire.
A Texas-born science nerd with a double major in physiology and communication, Vivian first explored wine as a passion project. Online courses turned into blind tastings, which led to international vineyard travel and, eventually, a full-blown obsession. After relocating to Sonoma County, she immersed herself in enology studies, harvest work, and the discipline of small-lot winemaking — learning under the guidance of Erica Stancliff and Ross Cobb whose mentorship shaped both her technical foundation and creative confidence.
That journey laid the groundwork for WOO GIRL! Cellars: an independent, mission-driven winery that crafts vegan-friendly, small-batch wines sourced from across California — unapologetic in style, intentional in purpose.
“Each vintage teaches me something new,” she says. “And I’m still that nerd who can’t wait to learn.”
WOO GIRL! is her love letter to joy, resilience, and redefining what luxury wine can look like — and who it’s for.
Zoë, Winery Cat & Guardian of Grace at WOO GIRL! Cellars
Zoë, our iconic California winery cat, is more than a mascot — she’s the spirit of the estate. At 15 years young, this elegant Tuxedo cat reigns over WOO GIRL! Cellars with quiet confidence and undeniable charm. Guests at our Lodi wine estate may glimpse her strolling the tasting garden or tucked beneath the pergola, though she now prefers the warmth of her curated collection of elevated perches inside the main house.
Her peak hour? 4:30 AM sharp. Her current addiction? The G.O.A.T freeze-dried treats by Primal Pet Foods. Her weakness? A perfectly positioned warming pod — or three.
Zoë’s newest superpower is her mentorship: gracefully training a newly adopted feral kitten, while maintaining her air-travel queen status. She’s fluent in feline vocalization, an expert in Sleep Studies, and a deeply respected figure in our California wine country tasting room.
Affectionately known as Angel Born, Zoë says it best:
“I trained my humans in two days.”
