I WRITE STUFF. ABOUT WINE AND FOOD. MOSTLY.
Hi, I’m Alana — a freelance food and wine writer, editor, and consultant. I tell stories at the intersection of wine, food, travel, and culture, with a focus on the people and places behind unforgettable bottles and dishes. I’ve also appeared as a guest on radio shows and podcasts, and serve on the wine jury at Sélections Mondiales des Vins, North America's largest wine competition.
WSET Level 3 certified and Le Cordon Bleu trained, I contribute features, interviews, and photography to publications, wineries, agents, and events. I also work behind the scenes as a researcher, ghostwriter, and editorial partner for writers, journalists, and industry pros.
My writing, photography, and editorial work—bylined and behind the scenes—has appeared in VineRoutes, Canada’s 100 Best Magazine (print & digital), Wine Enthusiast, The Vintner Project, Forbes, Elle Québec, Lucky Peach, Pipette Magazine, Saveur, CJAD800 Radio, Silo 57, and more.
