Before becoming fully immersed in the wine industry, both Hough and Dobrev have had notable careers in the spotlight. Hough is the ultimate multi-hyphenate; she is an actress, dancer, singer, producer,
and Emmy Award-winning choreographer. She was a two-time professional champion on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" before making a transition to award-winning recording artist and accomplished actress in movies like "Safe Haven" and "Footloose." She's also the founder of her own production company, Canary House Productions, and founded a fitness platform KINRGY, which aims to focus your mind and sculpt your body to empower the mind-body connection. Dobrev is also a triple threat; she is an actress, writer, and producer who most recently wrapped production on the Netflix romantic comedy Love Hard and the Indie comedy Sick Girl, where she plays significant roles as both the star and executive producer. In addition, she spent six seasons starring in the highly successful CW drama The Vampire Diaries, and before that role, she held a lead role on Degrassi: The Next Generation—and impressively, those are just a few of the projects in tv and film she has worked on.
