Three friends who decided to go for it.
Daliana didn’t come from a winery or a business plan. It came from a group of people who love good wine, love each other, and thought — why not?
Alana
A competitive athlete with a scientist’s curiosity, Alana has spent her career turning complexity into clarity — raising billions for life science companies and leading organizations through some of their most pivotal moments. She brings to Daliana the same precision, curiosity, and high standards she applies to everything. For Alana, winemaking is the science that starts in the soil and ends at the table.

A Southern California native, Duane spent 12 years as an NFL linebacker — a Pro Bowler, All-Pro, and Defensive Rookie of the Year. After football, he and his wife traveled extensively, where he’s spent decades building one of the most thoughtful wine cellars around and coaching the next generation of star athletes. Duane brings to Daliana what he brought to the field: discipline, depth, and an infectious love of the game — in this case, the beautiful, endlessly complex game of wine.
