About

After graduating from UC Berkeley with a B.A. in Media Studies in 2018, I knew immediately that I wanted to work in the intersection of wine, design and storytelling. What a better place to start than a winery in the heart of one of the most famed wine regions in the world?

Watching the seasons change in the vineyard, the way the fog lingers over the hills, and literally tasting the fruits from the most magical place on earth is a part of the daily pleasures of my life. I love nothing more than learning the history of a family owned winery, a winemaker's unique philosophy, and digging into all the creative details of a brand. 







My name is Alyse and I am the founder of Gold Coast Social Co. After working and playing in Napa Valley for three years, I officially decided to follow my intuition and open my own social media business. 

It all began with a big dream in my heart, a camera in one hand, and a glass of wine in the other.

2021 - Luxury Hospitality

After landing my first marketing job at a winery in Napa Valley, I got an in-depth look at in-house strategy, branding, social media and DTC distribution.

2019 - It's Wine Country For ME

J.A.M. PR, a leader in wine industry communications, introduced me to the world of public relations for luxury brands, expanding my love for storytelling.




2018 – Foray Into PR

My first class digging into the history of wine took place at UC Berkeley. Learning about different grape varietals, the history of Napa Valley, and meeting distinct winemakers was the highlight of my year.


2017 - Wine Class at UC Berkeley (Go Bears!)

Let me give you a visual. Have you ever watched Ratatouille? A little cheese, a little wine,  and then BOOM; FIREWORKS!

Huge shoutout to my dad for introducing me!


2016 - First Food & Wine Pairing

Lights, camera, action! My first exploration of photography began in college. Learning my way around a DSLR was equal parts hard work and fun. Now I can't say how GRATEFUL I am to have learned these skills.
