Born and raised in Nashville, Bettina Bryant was inspired by art and wine at an early age by her parents who immigrated to the United States from Maienfeld, Switzerland, a picturesque town nestled in the mountainous wine-producing canton of Graubünden.

An independent art curator and producer with initial training in classical music and dance, Bettina was selected by Mikhail Baryshnikov to join the American Ballet Theatre at age 17. Bettina toured extensively in the United States and abroad, performing both classical and modern dance repertoires crafted by legendary choreographers such as Agnes DeMille, Sir Kenneth Macmillan, Antony Tudor and Twyla Tharp. While performing with the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, Bettina attended Columbia University and received honors in Art History. Bettina then migrated towards corporate and private art collection management, and produced the acclaimed feature documentary film Our City Dreams celebrating the lives of five decades of contemporary women artists.

In 2007, Bettina's future husband Don Bryant invited her to join BRYANT ESTATE and in 2014 she was appointed Proprietor and President of the winery. Dedicated to maintaining the legacy established by her husband, Bettina has devoted herself to producing wines of the highest caliber, an ethos that begins with responsible stewardship of the land followed by intense focus on technical precision in winemaking. Bettina has embraced a holistic, ecological and ethical approach to farming, gardening, food and nutrition espoused by Dr. Rudolf Steiner. In addition to overseeing the continued meticulous production of the acclaimed Bryant Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from their Pritchard Hill estate, Bettina has been instrumental in expanding the portfolio to include the BETTINA Proprietary Red Wine and DB4 Red Wine blends. With the 2016 vintage, Bettina also propelled the production of a limited edition Cabernet Franc from their Pritchard Hill property.
