...and our guest speakers...

Enthusiastic, dynamic, and always smiling. An Ottawa native, Larissa moved back from Montreal to continue work in the healthcare industry but instead landed by chance at DiVino with a great wind of energy and new ideas.
Larissa is an active traveller and passionate about everything wine and food related (especially Italian). She began at DiVinoWine Studio in 2009 as a part-time cook and instructor of DiVino's cooking classes. Her keen eye for detail and organization, and her excellent knowledge of food, allowed her to quickly take the role of event coordinator in charge of logistics and customers' relationship. She has recently taken the role of General Manager at DiVino Wine Studio overseeing all on and off-site wine and culinary events, marketing and communications. Her natural business sense and positive hospitable presence make her a perfect fit for this business.
Call for an appointment and Larissa will be delighted to do a tour of DiVino with you; explaining all different corners of our premise and the concepts behind our business. She will be more than happy to discuss your upcoming dining event or describe the monthly-featured Italian region and our focus on wine, food, travel.
