Layne Randolph
While living in Italy for nearly a decade, Layne was legal counsel for Fendi in Rome and, as a side gig, a freelance travel writer. After relocating to Sonoma County, California, she dusted off her journalism degree to craft stories full-time as Roma to Sonoma. She's led readers into the cellars and vineyards of hundreds of wine brands as a copywriter and contributor to publications such as Wine Enthusiast, AFAR, Napa Valley Life, Haute Living San Francisco, and Decanter. Layne is a certified Napa Valley Wine Specialist pursuing WSET's Level 3 certification, and in 2022 and 2023, the Napa Valley Vintners chose her to be a Fellow with the Wine Writers' Symposium. She focuses her prose on travel, wine, and wellness and dreams of places to add to the five continents and 51 countries she has explored.Related Posts
