Hi Hannah, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
We started Savor & Swirl in 2019 to fulfill a dream in our hearts to bring people together around the table, share our passion for food & wine, as well as our love of the entire dining experience, with our guests. Our desire is to create an atmosphere that allows for true connections and encourages memories to be made as we learn about and indulge in the food & wine being served. We hope to meet you along the way!

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Life always has a way of throwing challenges at you, but we believe they make us stronger in the long run! The challenge is what can push us to grow, think outside the box, and ultimately improve. Obviously Covid was not on our business plan for 2020, but it ended up being the perfect time to launch STG: Savor To Go, our casual chef-driven food & wine pairing branch of our business that we had already been dreaming of and working on behind the scenes. We just had no idea that we would launch during a global shutdown! It was a great way to create a memorable dining experience for our guests while we weren’t able to host gatherings around the table together.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Savor & Swirl?
We offer 3-10+ course world class tasting menus paired with outstanding premier, top-rated wines at special, one of a kind, fabulous locations. Dinners are hosted at SECRET popup locations such as open-air farms, barns, roof tops, historic buildings, rare & unique venues and more!
