Wölffer

Chief Brand Officer & Co-Owner, Wölffer Estate Vineyard

The Legacy Builder

Joey Wölffer is the Chief Brand Officer and Co-Owner of Wölffer Estate Vineyard, the iconic Hamptons winery she took over with her brother following the death of their father and founder, Christian Wölffer. Since 2013, she has helped lead Wölffer’s evolution from a beloved family vineyard into a nationally recognized lifestyle brand spanning wine, hospitality, retail, and equestrian, while protecting the sense of place and identity that have defined Wölffer from the beginning.

Joey’s role and voice have helped Wölffer go from a local family-owned business to a national brand through her experience at the intersection of commerce, culture, and taste. Before joining the family business, she worked in fashion and trend forecasting and founded Styleliner, a pioneering luxury accessories boutique on wheels, later opening her eponymous boutique in Sag Harbor. At Wölffer, she brings that same instinct to a challenge that few leaders navigate well: how to inherit something iconic without becoming trapped by its legacy.

She is a compelling voice on family business, entrepreneurship, brand evolution, hospitality, community, and what it takes to build the next chapter of a company you didn’t start—but are responsible for carrying forward.

What Joey brings to the stage.

i.

Inheriting the Brand Without Freezing It in Time

What happens when the company you inherit is beloved precisely because of its history? Joey shares what she has learned about stepping into a family business, making consequential changes, and building for a new generation without erasing the emotional equity that came before.

ii.

From Vineyard to Lifestyle Brand

How do you build a brand that people want to experience, not simply buy? Through Wölffer’s evolution across wine, hospitality, retail, and equestrian, Joey explores the value of building a cohesive brand world, not just product lines—and why the strongest lifestyle businesses create a feeling customers want to return to.

iii.

Building a Business Around Place

In a world of infinitely scalable digital brands, Wölffer remains rooted in something tangible: land, agriculture, community, and the East End. Joey explores how a strong sense of place can become a strategic advantage, and how to grow beyond your home market without losing the identity that made the brand distinctive.

“Maintain your authenticity and don’t try to be too many things to too many people; just try to be really good at what you do.”
