Amy’s journey with wine and culture began in Montpellier, France, and has since led her across continents and through a master’s degree in Food Culture and Communications from Slow Food’s University in Italy. Her career in wine import and distribution sharpened her expertise and forged lasting relationships with small, independent producers across Europe.

Today, as a Certified Fora Travel Advisor, Amy extends her passion beyond group trips—offering personalized travel planning for independent travelers seeking the kind of deep, authentic experiences that take years to uncover. Fluent in Spanish, French, and Italian, she brings a unique ability to connect with people and places wherever she goes.

When not planning travel or sharing a bottle of something beautiful, Amy’s likely playing board games with her husband Ryan or being tackled by her three daughters.
