ABOUT SAMANTHA NAWROCKI
If there are two things that keep the world moving, it’s caffeine and Vitamin Grap —and I happen to live at the intersection of both! I’m a San Diego native with a deep-rooted passion for the hospitality industry and an even deeper love for connecting people. My daily life is a blend of heritage and high-energy entrepreneurship: By Day (The Coffee): My husband Weston and I own Manzanita Roasting Company. From our home base at the historic Bernardo Winery, we roast specialty beans on our eco-friendly Loring roaster, sourced directly from small farms worldwide. Whether it’s serving locals at our two cafes or shipping wholesale to partners across the USA, we’re on a mission to make every cup count. Also By Day (The Wine): I serve as the Marketing Director for Bernardo Winery, Southern California’s oldest winery. Preserving this 135+ year legacy while sharing its magic with a new generation is a role I truly treasure. The Extra Mile: Beyond the beans and the vines, I’m a consultant, volunteer in the role of Marketing Chair for the San Diego Vintner\'s Association, promoting San Diego Wine and I love helping other businesses find their \"secret sauce\" for success.When I’m not \"talking shop,\" you can find me: Catching the wind on a sailboat. Plotting my next travel adventure with my husband Weston (over wine or coffee) Finding Zen working in the garden Walking our favorite beachI’m a firm believer that life is too short for bad coffee, mediocre wine, or a day without a good laugh with friends. Let’s connect! Whether you’re looking for a premium wholesale coffee partner, want to collaborate on the local wine front or you just want to talk shop about the San Diego event scene, I’d love to hear from you.
