A little about us
Meet the People Behind VWE
We’re Sara and Todd, the wine lovers behind Venice Wine Experiences. What began as a shared love of wine has grown into a place to share the wineries, regions, people, and experiences we’ve been fortunate to discover.
Our wine travels have taken us to Napa Valley, Italy, Argentina, Chile, and beyond. Through our stories, we hope to inspire readers wherever they are to try something new, feel more confident navigating a wine list, or see wine through a different lens.
And closer to home in Venice, Florida, we help Southwest Florida wine lovers find more opportunities to explore wine together.
Wine education: Sara — WSET Level 1, pursuing Level 2; Todd — WSET Level 2 with Distinction, pursuing Level 3. Our wine studies include Napa Valley Wine Academy.
