Devin Parr

Devin Parr is a writer, storyteller, and serial road warrior who also happens to know a lot about wine. She holds the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Diploma as well as a certification in wine expertise from the Apicius International School of Hospitality in Florence, Italy, and a B.A. in political science and economics from UC San Diego. In 2017, Wine Enthusiast Magazine named her one of their Top 40 Under 40 Tastemakers. Her work spans wine, food, travel, and lifestyle, with bylines in outlets such as VinePair, Chowhound, Forbes, the WineCountry media portfolio, and her own musings on DevinParr.com. She is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Vintner Project, and co-founder of Grapeloop, an online community for wine lovers. Whether she’s wandering vineyards in Italy, exploring hidden gems closer to home, or chasing stories that connect pop culture, cuisine, and adventure, Devin brings a curious and often humorous voice to everything she writes. Based in Southern California, she shares life with her husband, two sons, and two bossy Shih Tzus. When she’s not sipping, writing, or globe-trotting, you might find her on the tatami, fine-tuning her ninja skills as a black belt in karate.
