Austin Johnson was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and raised by hardworking parents who instilled the value of determination. After college, she initially pursued a career in nursing, but her passion for hospitality led her to join the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group in Yountville. As Private Dining and Events Manager, she crafted distinctive events and weddings, honing her creativity and leadership. Following this, Austin managed the personal brands of renowned winemaker Benoit Touquette, where she gained expertise in brand management and operations. When Dakota Shy sought to expand their team, Austin was ready to bring her diverse experience to a role that perfectly aligns with her passion for sales, creativity and finding unique and clever ways to share the Dakota Shy wines and story. She feels a deep connection to the journey of Dakota Shy and the craftsmanship of Tom’s winemaking.
