Cecil PARK
Founder/Winemaker
Cecil Park, the visionary behind INNOVATUS, has forged a path as a trailblazer in Napa Valley. As the region’s first Korean winemaker and viticulturist, Cecil has shattered barriers and redefined what it means to succeed in a traditionally male-dominated industry. With degrees in Biotechnology Engineering from Yonsei University and Viticulture & Enology from U.C. Davis, Cecil blends technical expertise with a creative flair, producing wines that reflect her bold entrepreneurial spirit.
Driven by a passion for innovation, Cecil has introduced new methodologies into her winemaking process, seamlessly integrating modern technologies with traditional practices to craft wines that stand out in a crowded market. Her dedication has earned her recognition from some of the most respected voices in the wine industry, including James Suckling and Vivino.
Cecil’s journey is one of perseverance, determination, and a love for the land. She continues to push the boundaries of viticulture, creating wines that resonate not only with their exceptional quality but also with the story of resilience and innovation behind every bottle.

Napa Valley: A Spirit of Innovation and Tradition
Napa Valley has long been revered as the cradle of American winemaking, a region that celebrates innovation, craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Since the first vines were planted, Napa has attracted trailblazers who see winemaking as both art and science. It is this pioneering spirit that has turned Napa Valley into a global symbol of excellence.
The region’s unique microclimates and diverse soils provide the perfect canvas for crafting wines that are as distinctive as the people who make them. Napa Valley’s winemakers are known for their ability to merge old-world techniques with new-world experimentation, constantly pushing the envelope to create wines that stand among the best in the world.
INNOVATUS thrives in this rich tradition, yet it’s fueled by a desire to redefine it. At the heart of our mission is the Napa Valley belief that winemaking is an evolving craft—one that honors the past while boldly embracing the future.
