Winemaker, Belen Ceja
We're thrilled to have Belen Ceja as the winemaker for Aldina Vineyards. Growing up in Napa and Sonoma Valleys, Belen was immersed in the wine industry as the daughter of winemaker Armando Ceja. Inspired by her family’s roots, she pursued a degree in Enology and Viticulture from Fresno State. Her passion for winemaking grew during an internship at Enkidu Wine, where she was the only intern offered a permanent position. Now residing in Sonoma, CA, with her husband, two children, and their beloved dog Balú, Belen also runs and operates Heirs of My Dream, a venture that blends her deep familial legacy with innovative winemaking, while continuing to bring her expertise and love for winemaking to Aldina.
