Ryleigh Rivers (they them) is a natural wine/cider enthusiast and urban fruit tree steward in the Greater Boston Area. They spend their time thinking about the connections between the environment, beauty, and justice. Ryleigh is a true believer in the terroir of the Northeast and is excited to bring local, high quality, value-based wine to Boston. In their spare time Ryleigh enjoys cooking for friends, playing with their dog, writing, and staring at the ocean. We’re ultimately hoping to get Ryleigh salaried as Vineyard Manager.
