From seasonal reflections and hidden culinary gems to profiles of artists, chefs, and tastemakers, this is a space for those who savor the art of living well—with thoughtfulness, creativity, and heart

Whether you're here for inspiration, connection, or a gentle reminder to pause and breathe, welcome to a space where elegance meets authenticity—and every moment is worth savoring.

A Bit About Me

I’m Heather—a wine professional with over 25 years in the wine world and a lifelong lover of art, food, and creative living. With a degree in Fine Art & Art History, I’ve spent my career moving between the worlds of wine, hospitality, and the arts—always seeking beauty, meaning, and connection in everything I do.

The Bonne Vivant is a love letter to those passions. It’s a place where stories unfold slowly, flavors are savored deeply, and creativity is celebrated in all its forms. I hope it feels like a breath of fresh air and a glass raised in good company.

Here’s to long lunches, laughter, and life’s little luxuries. Santé! 🥂
