Spicy Vines owes its spirited personality to its “mistress of spice,” Crystalyn Hackett, the driving force behind our vision. With degrees in both Art and Business, she seamlessly blends her creative and analytical skills into the winery and is the wearer of many hats.
Crystalyn is passionately committed to creating exceptional experiences for our guests, expanding the winery’s reach, and fostering growth in all aspects of the business.
As a split Texas and California native, Crystalyn spent much of her early life on horseback. She’s an accomplished international dressage competitor who has trained alongside Olympic athletes, and credits much of her work ethic and resilience to the lessons she’s learned working with horses. Outside of work, Crystalyn finds joy in being a mother, mentoring other female entrepreneurs and hiking.
