Rose’ ALL DAY with LaFete Rose and Donae Burston

Founded by Donae Burston, La Fête Wine Company is on a mission to revitalize wine culture by redefining who drinks wine—and when. Inspired by the inclusive lifestyle of St. Tropez, La Fête celebrates the idea that great wine is for everyone, creating premium Provence wines that reflect diversity, connection, and everyday celebration. The company is also committed to expanding opportunity within the industry by donating a portion of every bottle sold to organizations that support educational travel for underserved youth and create pathways for BIPOC professionals in wine. 

Before launching La Fête, Burston spent more than 15 years in the wine and spirits industry, building luxury brands for Moët Hennessy and Heineken USA. His expertise in consumer marketing and luxury brand strategy helped shape La Fête into one of the fastest-growing imported luxury rosé brands in the United States, while staying true to his vision of making fine wine more welcoming, inclusive, and culturally relevant.
