Browse Our Tours Hosted by Sarah Jane Evans
Sarah Jane Evans is the ideal companion as an Expert Host on our Expertly Done Culinary & Wine Travel tours to Spain and South America. First and foremost, she is great company. She’s a Master of Wine, one of fewer than 500 in the world, so she is ready to answer — or try to answer — all your wine questions. Sarah Jane has a great love of food and wine, as befits a one-time president of the Guild of Food Writers, and is happiest exploring food markets, and making discoveries of new wines in wine bars and shops. She is a board member of the Academy of Chocolate, so she is happy talking and tasting all things cacao. Her published books include The Book of Tea and Coffee, Chocolate Unwrapped, Seville, and The Wines of Northern Spain. She’s currently researching The Wines of Central and Southern Spain. You’ll find her published in Decanter magazine, and on Decanter.com. She is an expert taster, and is Co-Chairman of the world’s largest wine competition, the Decanter World Wine Awards. Sarah Jane lives in London with her husband and two cats, and has two grownup daughters.
