Alice Anderson grew up in California and has spent her career championing regenerative farming and the deep relationship between people, vines, and the ecosystems that hold them. She is passionate about true sustainability, animal integration, and balancing intuition with science.

After earning her degree in enology and viticulture from Cal Poly, her path led her through biodynamic vineyards in New Zealand, the Northern Rhône, and back to California, all experiences that have shaped her belief that great wine begins with thoughtful stewardship.

Alice and her partner, Topher De Felice, now lease and farm 21 acres of estate vineyards for their wine brand, Âmevive, including 10 acres of the historic, own-rooted Ibarra-Young Vineyard.

Âmevive began in 2019 with just six barrels and has since grown to have global representation. The wines are made classically and without intervention. The wines are energetic, elegant, and intended to be pure expressions of the land from which they come. Inspired by the Old World but rooted in California, Alice’s wines carry both intention and playfulness.

Outside the vineyard, Alice is passionate about growing food and sharing it with anyone who shows up. She loves her animals, loves being outside, loves her work, and loves connecting people to the land she tends.
