Alyssa McCauley

Wine Shop Manager

Alyssa’s story begins in Oshawa, Ontario before moving to Toronto to try out the big city lifestyle. After a few years there, she was looking for a change and took a road trip with a friend out to the Okanagan Valley where she thought she would spend only a year. But like many once-temporary residents of the Okanagan, the climate, wine, and a boyfriend influenced her decision to stay. Living in wine country, Alyssa thought she’d get out of the tech world and begin a career in the wine industry. She started as a Team Lead at Hester Creek in 2022 and was quickly promoted to Wine Shop Supervisor at the beginning of 2023. In January of 2025, Alyssa took the position of Wine Shop Manager where she is thrilled to host all the guests we welcome to Hester Creek year after year. Alyssa lives in Oliver with her boyfriend, Ryan, and hound dog, Billy. Together, they love the outdoors and spend their weekends camping, heading out on the side by side and taking care of their chicken, Lavender.
