Cameron Diaz’s former assistant, Janet Caperna, recently opened up about her experience working with the actress, particularly highlighting Diaz’s passion for her wine brand, Avaline. Caperna, who appeared on Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea, shared that she truly loved her job and remains "obsessed" with the wine produced by the brand. Avaline, co-founded by Diaz and her friend Katherine Power in 2020, focuses on organic wines, initially launching with a Spanish white and a French rosé.
Caperna described her time working for Avaline as very positive, emphasizing the collaborative and supportive environment among assistants in Los Angeles. She mentioned that assistants often keep in touch, forming a small network that helps make their demanding jobs easier. This camaraderie among assistants offers a valuable support system in the entertainment industry’s fast-paced environment.
The wine brand Avaline was created during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Diaz and Power traveling to Europe to work closely with organic grape growers and winemakers. Their goal was to bring organic principles to the wine industry, similar to those in skincare and household products. Avaline has since expanded its product line beyond the initial offerings to include red blends and sparkling wines, all made from organic grapes sourced from Italy, France, and Spain.
Cameron Diaz stepped back from acting in 2014 to focus on her wine business and family life. After a long hiatus, she made a recent return to film in 2025 with the Jamie Foxx-starrer "Back in Action." Diaz and her husband Benji Madden have two children, and her dedication to Avaline reflects her commitment to both her personal and professional passions.
