Alice Poncet

Alice is our Cellar Door & Business Manager. She made her way to New Zealand in December 2022, eager to join the Wright team and make her dreams of living and working in this beautiful country come true.

Living in Tours, a charming city in the heart of France, Alice, along with her husband Thomas, fell in love with New Zealand during their honeymoon, setting the stage for their future here.

Originating from a quaint town in the South West of France, Alice has a deep-rooted connection to the land, a fascination for diverse cultures, and an appreciation for quality products.

Her academic journey led her through various corners of the world – from England and Spain to Hungary, Sweden and the United States. She rounded off her global exploration with a Master's degree in International Business from EM Business School in Grenoble. However, her international ventures never let her forget her roots. Following a stint as a salesperson in a printing company, Alice sought a more fulfilling role aligned with her personal values.

Committed, curious, and with a touch of obstinacy, Alice brings a dedicated spirit to her role, driven by a profound connection to nature and a commitment to sustainable agricultural practices. When she's not rocking the business, you can find her practicing Taekwondo, climbing rocks, or lost in a good novel.
