Hi, I'm Kathryn Flynn
I've been planning my own international food and wine journeys and traveling the world for years now, and have taken that passion and experience to create memorable gastronomic experiences for you too. I love getting to know new people and tailoring a taste journey to exactly what they are looking for. I can't wait to work with you on your next culinary wine vacation!
My Story
Through my five years in the US Navy I was able to live in and travel to some amazing destinations around the world. When I was transitioning out of the Navy and thinking about my next steps, I realized I wanted to put my passion into my work, which led me to begin Mistral Winds Travel.
One of my hobbies is drinking and learning about wine, and as a fun project I took the Introductory Sommelier course. In this course I learned about the Mistral Winds and the benefit they bring to the vines of the Rhone Valley, home to exceptional French gastronomy and wine pairings. Shortly before exiting the Navy I traveled to the Rhone Valley, where the Mistral Wind blows, and the plan was formed - along with the perfect name.
Now I work to plan exciting food and wine experiences for others, leveraging my knowledge of travel and the partnerships I have worldwide with some of the best luxury gastronomy brands in the world.
