Our Team

Personal involvement

Depending the on the season, the Tenuta San Giorgio team is comprised of about ten highly-motivated and committed members who have enthusiastically embraced the vineyard’s creed: to produce only wines of the very highest quality.

Mike Rudolph

The Brain behind the enterprise

He guides the vineyard with irrepressible enthusiasm. His creativity, openness to all that is new and quest for the best product possible are what fuels the business. For him, the Tenuta San Giorgio is a dream made reality. He has devoted himself heart and soul to wine-growing and -making, and his family and the business are the core of his life. An active sportsman, he demonstrates the same drive and endurance in his work. Mike does not rest until the product meets his expectations. The result is wines that are full of character, esteemed by critics and wine-lovers alike.

Georgia Wipf

The Ambassador

She has been an active part of the Tenuta since 2012. She is the winery’s ambassador in Zurich and works alongside Mike during tastings and in marketing. During the most critical phases, she is the Chef des vendanges, coordinating those involved in harvesting and organizing their room and board. Thanks to her knowledge and broad network of contacts—and, of course, her love of wine, the winery and the Ticino region of Switzerland—Georgia is a key element of the team and its third woman.
