Born in Ohio, and after travelling all over the world making wine, Anika decided to make Queenstown home.
“People here are extremely down to earth. Locals like to get outside every single day and appreciate the natural beauty around them. They spend their time doing things that bring them joy and make them feel alive. Queenstown pulls you in and people lean into it. I feel like I’ve found the place where I belong.”
When she’s not crafting premium Pinot Noir at Coal Pit Vineyard and Winery, Anika’s hiking in Queenstown’s backcountry or following her passion for sustainability, helping regenerate native bush.
