Katherine Jarvis brings passion, creativity and unique experiences in the wine and travel industries to Jarvis Communications. Since launching the company, Katherine and her team have created custom-made programs small and large for international and domestic clients in need of publicity.

Though she grew up with wine on the table every night for dinner, Jarvis’ career in wine began in 1997 when she worked in fine wine auctions in Chicago—first at Davis & Company Wine Auctioneers (now Hart Davis Hart) and then with Lionstone International in partnership with Sotheby’s North American wine auctions. In addition to developing new restaurant buyer accounts by working directly with sommeliers, she established wholesale procedures in compliance with the three-tier distribution system. Prior to launching Jarvis Communications in 2005, she was an Executive Director at hospitality public relations firm, Wagstaff Worldwide, Inc.

A native of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Katherine credits her upbringing as the child of two professors directing study abroad programs in Malaga, Spain and Bologna, Italy for her love of food, wine and culture.
