Hi, I’m Alicia.

A few years ago, I walked away from the security of a 9-to-5 to chase a ‘crazy’ idea that everyone else thought was a risk. That idea started in a small two-car garage on a 12-acre abandoned orchard. I wasn’t just building a winery; I was learning how to build a life with intention.

Today, that garage has transformed into a 10,000-square-foot facility, and my journey, which I call The Grounded Climb has evolved into a multi-brand ecosystem that includes Shale Ridge Estate Winery, our Nordic Spa, and the global launch of Quism Hair Health.

But beyond the numbers and the scale, my world is centered around my husband, our two children, and our dog, Denver. I’m a firm believer that if your business has a manual, your life should too.

I’m now sharing my journey of intentional entrepreneurship to help women shift from being in the business to leading from it. Through systems like EOS and my BRAIN framework, I show that you can build a high-impact legacy without losing your authenticity or your rest.

Let’s build something real together.

Cheers!

Alicia Hardman
