Meet The Founder

Katina Burke

Katina Burke is the founder and driving force behind Next Gen Wino, a cultural hub dedicated to spotlighting the winemakers, innovators, brands, and destinations shaping the future of wine.

Frustrated by how often wine felt either out of reach or out of touch, Katina set out to champion the people and places investing intentionally in the next generation of wine lovers. She travels the country seeking out those who are taking care of the planet, making their wines and experiences accessible, welcoming younger audiences into their tasting rooms, and innovating in ways that move the industry forward.

With Next Gen Wino, she’s building more than a platform — she’s creating a trusted space where the next generation can discover who is truly walking the walk when it comes to sustainability, inclusivity, innovation, and accessibility in wine.
