About
The Savvy Grapes

The Savvy Grapes aims to be the ‘go to resource’ for wine knowledge, wine marketing and wine & food event management.

We host winemaker’s dinners, Sommelier led wine tastings and dinners for private and corporate clients, as well as events open to the public. Working with wineries, restaurants and clients, The Savvy Grapes provides a breadth of services and expertise for event management, marketing, ticket sales and media. 


Members of The Savvy Team who enjoy sharing their passion for wine include: (back row) Jean-Sebastien, Heather, Vanessa, Jennifer, Nick, Deb, Dave (front row) Wendy, Theresa, Debbie & Diane.

Our approach has been extremely well received by our guests, clients, featured wineries and restaurants. Everyone is welcome to join us as there is no membership fee….rather, each of The Savvy Grapes events provides the opportunity to discover and enjoy wines in a fun, relaxed and non-intimidating setting.

The Savvy Grapes complements these interactive wine and food events by providing professional marketing and business development expertise to wineries and industry associations.  Domestic and international expertise is offered in the areas of sales, marketing and business strategy. 

AREAS OF EXPERTISE

“Debbie is a dynamic individual, an astute businesswoman, who has provided valuable business insight throughout the years that we have worked together.  In particular, Debbie delivered to me comprehensive report on the wine market in China that highlights the challenges, identified growth opportunities, product and consumer trends, distribution models and market forecasts.  This report is critical for my management team and me as we develop our Asian export business model for the next five to ten years."   
- Charles Pillitteri, Vice President Sales, Pillitteri Estates Winery

"Debbie is energetic, motivated & passionate about wine. She has the contacts and the expertise to organize a wine event that is sophisticated, well detailed and incredibly fun.
- Tonya Lailey, Marketing Manager,
Lailey Vineyard

“Debbie provided consulting to Malivoire in a variety of capacities since September 2001.  Debbie's breadth of experience and her MBA knowledge has been refreshing and very helpful to Malivoire. I applaud her to taking the initiative to apply her MBA knowledge to the Canadian wine industry.  I think that the industry would benefit from more professionals like Debbie."
- Elena Galey-Pride, Marketing Manager, Malivoire Wine Company
