Mikayla Schut - Viticulture Technician

I am originally from Escalon, CA, a small town in the Central Valley. I moved to San Luis Obispo to pursue my bachelor's degree, and I graduated from Cal Poly with a B.S. in Wine and Viticulture in December 2024. My first wine industry job was doing both winery and vineyard work at an estate winery near my hometown in the summer of 2022, and the following summer was when I started interning for Pacific Coast Farming. I was able to work as an intern from summer 2023-winter 2024, participating in many different aspects of production such as tractor work, irrigation, sugar sampling, lab analysis, and vineyard scouting. In January 2025, I had the privilege of being hired by PCF as a full-time Viticulture Technician. In my free time, I enjoy running, hiking, yoga, surfing, and overall exploring all that the Central Coast has to offer.
