Dona Stella wine label wins Hermes Creative Award
We’re incredibly honored that Dona Stella Wine has won a gold Hermes Award for our new wine label! When we started working on this project, I knew I wanted something that felt personal—something that told the story of where we come from. That’s why I asked for a bright, stylized cat illustration in honor of Calico, our beloved 21-year-old farm cat who’s become a bit of a legend around here.
The label became more than just packaging—it captured the heart of our people, our animals, and the family farmstead that inspired Dona Stella Wines from the very beginning. With over 6,000 creative entries from more than two dozen countries, being recognized for quality, creativity, and resourcefulness means the world to us.
A huge thank you to the Hermes Creative Awards for this recognition. To be counted among winners ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies is truly humbling. Cheers to Calico, and to everyone who’s been part of this journey! Thank you to CMBell to helping make this label a reality.
