Marlies Jakob, Managing Director and Founder of The Peppered Grape has had a long-standing passion for wine, aviation, and dogs. Her passion for wine was sparked after taking an oenology course in her 20’s, yet she continued on with earning a MScTech, and is spending a fulfilling career working as an airline pilot. Establishing TPG has offered her an outlet for creativity, bringing her back to the wine industry. She values supporting community through charitable fundraising within her business and beyond.
