Ellie Anest | Founding Partner & CEO

Ellie Anest grew up in Nebraska on a working farm. Her father owned and operated a farming operation which included cattle, sugar beets, soybeans, and corn. Her mother was self-taught, and creative in the areas of cooking, gardening, and decor. Her parentsโ€™ ability to nurture seeds into valuable crops inspired her to cultivate ideas and bring them to life. At age 20, Ellie moved to San Diego where she attended San Diego State University and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and Accounting. While there, she became involved in philanthropy through the local Greek community, and soon met Carol Vassiliadis. Over time, they cultivated a deep friendship that ultimately led to their partnership and the creation of Eleven Eleven Winery.

When not working at the winery, Ellie offers up her time and resources to the Philoptochos Organization, a philanthropic extension of the Greek Orthodox Church. When not spending time with family, friends, loving on her nephews, nieces and godchildren, Ellie enjoys fitness, music and her time at the beach.

Ellie is a supporter of the Queen of the Valley Foundation, Festival Napa Valley, Napa Valley Film Festival, and National Ability Center among other non-profit organizations.

Carol Vassiliadis | Founding Partner โ€“ Investor

Carol Vassiliadis was born in New York and raised on Long Island, in Roslyn. She entered Penn State after graduating from high school and transferred to San Diego State College in her sophomore year when her parents moved to San Diego.ย While at San Diego State, she was active in the theater department and appeared in Starlight Opera. After graduating with a degree in English and Speech, she taught at Helix High School in San Diego. A year later she moved to Pasadena with her family and spent the next nine years as a teacher and mentor at Pasadena High School.

Carolโ€™s entrepreneurial spirit was sparked when Ellie Anest presented her with an opportunity to invest in a new business venture – Eleven Eleven Winery. Creating Eleven Eleven fell right given her values of family and her love of community.
