Deanna McElroy

Office Manager

Deanna McElroy has been working with Sojourn Cellars since 2009. She has the unofficial title of Office Manager. Her responsibilities include processing your orders, making sure that your wine is shipped and arrives safely at your door, and providing monthly reports. In addition to helping run the business office and managing much of the everyday operations of the winery, she can also be seen at release events pouring wine and helping potential customers.

Deanna was born and raised in California. She recently relocated back to the town of Sonoma after 20 years of living on beautiful Lake Berryessa in Napa. She has a background in accounting, and after having survived numerous tax seasons running her own accounting business, she felt the wine industry would be a welcome change. A Sonoma High School graduate, she is currently working on completing her Bachelor’s degree in Business while working full time and raising two teenagers. She and her husband Don have owned and operated McElroy Painting in Sonoma for over 25 years.

Deanna lives in Sonoma with her husband Don and their two wonderful teenagers, Austin and Autumn.
