Laurie Forster
The Wine Coach^®

Laurie Forster combines her extensive knowledge of wine with her experience as a life coach. She began her wine career in Manhattan where she studied with the American Sommelier Association to obtain her certificate in Viticulture and Vinification with follow-up training at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley. As The Wine Coach®, Laurie creates corporate, private events and tours that help people de-mystify wine one glass at a time! Her radio show "Something to Wine About®" can be heard each week on WCEI 96.7FM and WBAL 1090 AM.

Adding a tours division was an obvious next step for Laurie who spent many years traveling as a software sales executive. Laurie has combined her passion for food, wine and travel to create tours that showcase the best culinary offerings at any given destination. Laurie's travels have included Australia’s Hunter and Barossa Valleys, Piedmont and Tuscany, Italy, as well as California, Maryland and Virginia.

With the backing of a solid travel professional, The Wine Coach Tours are only limited by one's imagination!
