Headquartered in Napa Valley and operated by food and wine pairing expert Chef Erika Heinemann, Savvy Wine Food is your leading source for food and wine pairing menus, recipes, services and products. Chef Erika, who launched one of Napa Valley's first consistent food and wine pairing programs at Duckhorn Wine Company and also trained under Chef Thomas Keller of The French Laundry, shares her passion for food and wine.

Savvy Wine Food is located in beautiful Napa Valley, Calif., with a satellite office in Santa Barbara.

Chef Erika is always hard at work in her kitchen, creating a variety of perfectly paired gourmet food and wine complements, like our gourmet nuts for wine. Savvy Wine Food's gourmet nuts for wine are the same irresistible nuts enjoyed by thousands of visitors to Napa Valley wineries. Savvy Wine Food's "Seasoned Nuts for Red Wine", made with California Mission almonds, are a perfect pairing with your favorite red wine varietals, such as cabernet sauvignon, merlot, zinfandel and pinot noir. Savvy Wine Food's "Seasoned Nuts for White Wine", made with a blend of California Mission almonds, cashews and pistachios, always make a delicious pairing with your favorite white wines, including sauvignon blanc, pinot gris and chardonnay.

Because we never use any wines when preparing Savvy Wine Food's gourmet nuts for wine—only the freshest herbs and spices—these deluxe gourmet nuts always make for delicious, healthy snacks for kids and adults...anytime...anywhere. Our gourmet nuts for wine also make a perfect pairing for gourmet gift baskets and hostess gifts.
