I WRITE STUFF. ABOUT WINE AND FOOD. MOSTLY.
Hi, I’m Alana — Editor, Eastern Canada & International at VineRoutes, a regular contributor to Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants and Canada’s 100 Best Bars, and a freelance food writer, editor, and consultant. I specialize in food and wine storytelling, focusing on the people and places behind unforgettable bottles and dishes.
My writing, photography, editorial work, and on-air segments have appeared across print, digital, and radio platforms, including VineRoutes Media, Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants Magazine, Canada’s 100 Best Bars Magazine, Wine Enthusiast, The Vintner Project, Forbes, Elle Québec, Lucky Peach, Pipette Magazine, Saveur, CJAD800 Radio, Silo 57, and more.
WSET Level 3 certified and Le Cordon Bleu trained, I also work behind the scenes as a wine consultant, researcher, ghostwriter, and editorial partner for publications, writers, and journalists. I’ve appeared as a guest on various radio shows and podcasts, and serve on the wine jury at Sélections Mondiales des Vins, North America's largest wine competition.
