Tatiana Copeland

Tatiana Brandt Copeland has a diverse international background. Her personal story began in Dresden, Germany, where she was born. After living in Denmark for several years, the family emigrated to Argentina, where she would spend most of her childhood, before coming to the United States to attend college. She holds degrees from the University of California at Los Angeles and the University of California at Berkeley. She is the Co-Owner and President of Bouchaine Vineyards in Napa Valley, California and is involved with several boards and non-profits, including the Kennedy Center, Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington’s Grand Opera House, and the Philadelphia Orchestra.

She is married to Gerret Copeland and resides in Wilmington, Delaware. Both she and Gerret are deeply committed to the arts and the welfare of animals, opening the Copeland Center for Animal Welfare in partnership with the Brandywine Valley SPCA. The Copelands have established a unique model of community philanthropy in their home state of Delaware, receiving numerous awards for their commitments, including the 2019 Delaware History Makers Award and the 2011 Order of the First State. Copeland is very involved in the music world, as the composer and pianist Sergei Rachmaninoff was her mother’s uncle, and she was named after his daughter Tatiana. She fluently speaks English, Russian, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
