Hello! Let me introduce myself.

Hi, I’m Stephanie, a traveler at heart with a deep appreciation for great wine and the experiences that come with it. Whether I’m exploring a new destination, wandering through a bustling city, or unwinding in a quiet countryside, I believe every journey is made richer by the people, flavors, and moments we encounter along the way.

While I don’t travel just for wine, it often finds its way into my adventures. I love discovering cozy wine bars, local vineyards, and unexpected bottles that tell a story of place and tradition. But my love for wine isn’t just about travel—it’s part of my everyday life. Whether it’s a casual glass at home, a perfectly paired dinner, or a relaxed evening with friends, I enjoy the simple pleasure of a great pour. My favorites range from bold reds to crisp whites and everything in between, and I’m always on the lookout for new pairings and unique finds.

Travel, for me, is about more than just checking destinations off a list—it’s about immersing myself in different cultures, experiencing new cuisines, and meeting interesting people along the way. Some of my favorite memories include enjoying a glass of Sangiovese in a Tuscan vineyard, sipping fresh Riesling while overlooking the Rhine, or discovering an unexpected gem of a wine bar in the heart of a bustling city. These experiences remind me that wine is more than just a drink—it’s a connection to a place, a history, and a moment in time.
