ABOUT US – WINE ROAD PODCAST HOST

Katie Ambrosi is the Executive Director of Wine Road – Northern Sonoma County and host of the Wine Road Podcast, bringing years of Sonoma County wine experience, a love of good food and travel, and plenty of curiosity to every episode.

After more than two decades working in wine marketing and hospitality, Katie has built connections throughout the wine community and knows that some of the best stories are found beyond the tasting room bar. On the podcast, she takes listeners along the Wine Road to meet the winemakers, growers, chefs, hospitality pros and local characters who make Northern Sonoma County such a special place.

Expect conversations about wine without the intimidation, insider tips for exploring Alexander, Dry Creek and Russian River Valleys, great places to eat and visit, upcoming Wine Road events, and the people and stories behind the wines.

Katie believes wine is ultimately about connection, where it comes from, who made it, what you eat with it and, most importantly, who you're sharing it with.

Come along for the ride and discover wine when and where in Northern Sonoma County.
