Journey through history to discover the complex past of wine regions, producers, and communities around the world.  Grape Revival will help you learn about, find, and even make wine. 

Our mission is to show you how to contribute to the restoration and preservation of indigenous grapes, biodiversity and low intervention farming methods.  Every wine lover can take part by supporting ethical, independent grape growers, producers and organizations like those here. 

• Wine related travel and education don’t have to cost a lot of money, they can even be free.  By exchanging skills, knowledge and genuine passion, people can help each other to revive their lives and communities through wine. 

• Grape Revival is dedicated to honoring the past and helping secure a healthy future for wine drinking generations to come. 

• We also provide marketing, business development and research services for wine and tourism organizations. Please contact us for partnership opportunities. 

As the founder of Grape Revival, I’m a certified Italian Wine Specialist by the North American Sommelier Association and WSET Level 2 certified with distinction.  I’ve worked harvests on biodynamic and organic vineyards in Le Marche and Piedmont, Italy and held cellar and wine event roles in Tuscany.  Hailing from New York, NY, I’m currently based in Italy with Italian and American dual citizenship.
