ABOUT THE AUTHOR

VISTAS is a print, multicultural lifestyle magazine published six times a year for readers who believe living well should be flavorful, curious, and culturally rich. Each issue delivers “vino-soaked” storytelling—celebrating food, wine, travel, and the everyday rituals that turn moments into memories. From culinary guides and wine features to destination-driven inspiration, VISTAS invites readers to slow down, savor more, and explore life through a broader lens. Created in response to a glaring gap in food and wine media, VISTAS was launched to ensure BIPOC voices are not confined to seasonal spotlights or culturally themed months. Our stories live year-round, reflecting the reality that culture, creativity, and excellence are always in season. Closely connected to the Soul of Sonoma community, the magazine features thought leaders, local businesses, exclusive events, and premium service providers who embody the art of gathering and living well. As we travel across the country—and around the globe—discovering new flavors, traditions, and perspectives, we invite you to explore these evolving VISTAS with us.
