About VitaeVino

Katherine Parker aka VitaeVino

Katherine

Katherine is a native San Franciscan who grew up spending her summer vacations in the Russian River Valley.  She has seen the RRV evolve from a string of sleepy beach resorts to an internationally recognized AVA.  During this time, 20 years of corporate travel opened doors for her to explore many of the world’s great cuisines and wine regions.  Based on this experience, Katherine developed a fascination with the mystique embodied in wine, food, and hospitality of diverse regions.

In 2009, she moved to Sonoma CA, enrolled in the Wine Studies program at Santa Rosa JC, and immersed herself in social media. VitaeVino (translated Life and Wine) was born out of her passion for a life enriched with wine, travel and friendship.

As a seasoned business development and communications professional, Katherine employs social media tools and practices to help businesses lower barriers to market entry, engage new consumers and foster brand loyalty.  Katherine’s practice, Digital Media Solutions, helps professionals in the wine, travel, and technology industry conceive, establish and implement effective social media programs.  Digital Media Solutions also develops social media workshops for conferences and organizations.

Digital Media Solutions client references include: a Senior Product Manager at YouTube, CEO of Educational Game Software company, CEO of a Parisian Literary Salon and Tour company, Co-Founder of Italian Wine Importing company, and CEO of a Conference and Expo company.
