Westport Winery co-owner Kim Roberts was a contributing author of the newly published book Have Fork Will Travel: A Practical Handbook For Food & Drink Professionals. In all, 50 different topics are covered in as many chapters and 542 pages. This book is a collaborative effort by 70 industry experts in 24 countries, thus launching the winery’s success story onto the international stage. The book is available on Amazon or through the World Food Travel Association.
Roberts’ contribution focuses on the case study of Westport Winery’s branding success in just six years. The story of this small, family-owned winery well outside of Washington State’s most famous wine regions is a testament to the relationship the family and their team have built with the winery’s guests. In the book Roberts writes, “The goal of Westport Winery & Vineyards By-the-Sea is that of a great wine. Be approachable and top-quality, be memorable and offer a strong sense of place at a great value.”
Roberts has previously written two mysteries Luna Sea and Poi Son. These books are available on Amazon and at Westport Winery. She was the previous recipient of the Washington State Newspaper Publishers Association Best General Column award. The Westport Winery success story has been covered by numerous newspapers, magazines and television features including a story for the 100th anniversary of the Washington State University Extension Program.
