Gallo To Close Napa Facility, Cutting 93 Jobs Across Wine Country Sites

CBS San Francisco reports that Gallo plans to permanently close its Ranch Winery in St Helena and reduce staff at four other winery and tasting room locations in Napa and Sonoma counties, totalling 93 job losses. The report says the planned changes were disclosed in a WARN notice filed with California, with layoffs expected to take effect in mid April, and it attributes the decision to shifting market dynamics, evolving consumer demand, and available capacity across Gallo’s wineries.
