Paso Robles, CA — [April 23, 2025] — Vineyard Professional Real Estate (VPRE), California’s leading vineyard and winery brokerage, is proud to announce the addition of Brittany Malone Thompson to its elite team of vineyard and luxury real estate professionals. A distinguished broker with a unique blend of viticulture pedigree and high-stakes real estate expertise, Thompson will serve clients across the Central Coast, with a focus on Paso Robles AVA and surrounding regions.
With this strategic expansion, VPRE continues to deepen its bench of specialized talent—offering unparalleled insight and white-glove service to vineyard owners, lifestyle buyers, and institutional investors navigating California’s complex wine country real estate market.
A Viticulturist-Turned-Top Broker with Global Perspective
Brittany Malone Thompson brings more than 15 years of wine industry experience—spanning production, vineyard management, and grower relations—into her real estate practice. A Cal Poly alumna with dual degrees in Wine and Viticulture and Agribusiness Marketing, Thompson’s early career included roles at Wild Horse Winery and Windward Vineyard before advancing to acclaimed producers like Screaming Eagle, Dalla Valle Vineyards, and Craggy Range in New Zealand.
Her transition into real estate has been marked by consistent top performance, grounded in a client-first philosophy and tactical market knowledge. Sellers trust her to bring creativity, precision, and discretion to every listing. Buyers benefit from her ability to identify true value in an increasingly discerning market.
“Brittany’s background is rare,” said Jenny Heinzen, founder and broker of VPRE. “She understands the land not only from an investment lens—but from the ground up. That level of technical fluency and regional insight is invaluable to our clients.”
Meeting Market Demand for Hybrid Expertise
In 2025, as more vineyard and winery owners prepare for sale amidst tightening capital and shifting consumer trends, buyers are prioritizing properties with scalable potential, water security, and operational readiness. VPRE has seen continued momentum from lifestyle investors and strategic operators alike—especially in Paso Robles, where land value and brand opportunity remain strong.
Clients today expect more —they expect strategic counsel,” said Thompson. “Whether we’re evaluating vineyard health, marketing a high-touch estate, or guiding a complex transaction, I’m here to deliver a process with a personalized approach that’s rooted in experience and built on trust.”
Based in Templeton, Thompson lives on a 10-acre ranch with her two children and is deeply embedded in the Central Coast lifestyle she represents. Her addition reflects VPRE’s continued investment in agents who pair local fluency with global sophistication.
