Jill Osur (She/Her)

Founder and CEO, Teneral Cellars

A former UC Berkeley softball player, Jill Osur still draws on her athletic background to hone her leadership style and overcome obstacles. Deeply moved to elevate women and inspire meaningful change, her values have guided her career—first as a savvy political fundraiser, then in marketing with Special Olympics Northern California & Nevada, and now, as an entrepreneur. Jill has helped launch numerous consumer product companies and ventures focused on “doing well by doing good.” Jill purchased a vineyard property in the wine AVA of Fair Play in El Dorado County in 2017 and has called this her home since then. She founded a digital winery, Teneral Cellars, in 2020 after leaving another Sierra Foothill winery she was an owner in.

Jill is a captivating public speaker who helps female executives and entrepreneurs learn how to strengthen their leadership by tapping into the “head, heart, and gut.” As said by one attendee, Jill “puts a firecracker in the room” with her energizing, moving presence. A champion of female power, Jill coaches audiences and clients to embrace their brilliance, leverage full capacity thinking, and show up in alignment with their authentic selves. 

Jill is a member of the Governor’s Entrepreneurship and Economic Mobility Taskforce, Women Presidents’ Organization, C-Sweet, was a founding board member of the John F. Kennedy University Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership and is a current advisory board member for Enterprising Women, Women Business Collaborative, and board member of Hilinski’s Hope Foundation, which provides integrative mental wellness programs for student athletes.  Jill was the 2021 Winner of the Women President’s Organization Adrienne Hall Award for Breaking Down Barriers. She was the 2022 Winner of a Stevie Award for Women in Business for Best Female Entrepreneur – Consumer Products, the 2022 recipient of the Corporate Leader Award from Leadership California, 2023 Winner, NAWBO Sacramento OWL Awards – Woman Innovator, and 2023 Honoree as one of the 100 Women to KNOW in America.

Candyce

General Manager

HI My name is Candyce and I am the General Manager at Teneral Cellars at Wilderotter Vineyard. I grew up in the mountain town of Edwards, Colorado where I played volleyball and was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship to play at Western State College in Gunnison, CO.

My love of the mountains and adventure took me to Alaska down a 60-mile dirt road which is where I feel in love with the world of wine. I was fascinated and began the process of studying and taking my sommelier examinations through the Court of Master Sommeliers. Little did I know that I would begin to dedicate my life to this libation. I currently attend Sonoma State University for Wine Business management
