Rose Stanton Markey, CMP
Wine Country Destinations is now partnering with Viviani

After successfully supporting companies planning meetings and events in the Bay Area, Rose and her family moved to Sonoma County in 1986 and began orchestrating fly drive wine tours with PSA, assisted the Sonoma County Winery Association with logistics for their Grand Tour, as well as organized corporate and incentive events at wineries. In June 2002, Rose was the Event Producer for the Grand Opening of the Vineyard Creek Hotel. This event celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Santa Rosa Symphony and which noted columnist Gaye LeBaron wrote of "this was one of the best events Santa Rosa has seen in many years."

Sonoma County Destinations, which later developed into Wine Country Destinations, grew from a love of this great destination and desire to assist planners with events. In January 2011, Rose joined Viviani as a group sales manager for their corporate clientele. "This partnership gives me the opportunity to work with a well known Destination Management Company and collaborate with established industry professionals."

"I have had the good fortune of working with people throughout this area that have become great friends. My career has given me the chance to do the things I love and work with people that want the same things: a happy client and a job well done. I rely on all of my vendors to help me accomplish this goal."

Rose is the Immediate Past President of the International Special Events Society Napa-Sonoma Chapter, and a past board member for the Meeting Professionals International, Northern California Chapter. She was awarded MPINCC Meeting Professional of the Year & Strategic Partner of the Year for 2006-2007.
