The Spark That Ignited the Story
Stephanie Morton-Small
Founder of Wine Whisper & Song, Wine Business Leader, Keynote Speaker and Songwriter.
With an MBA and three decades of global wine leadership across four continents—Australia, Europe, Argentina, and the U.S.—Stephanie has helped shape and grow some of the world’s respected brands. Most recently, as Chief Commercial Officer of Finca Decero, she took the brand from development to being named one of Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of the World, and she pioneered the first wine brand to combine augmented reality with animation film—merging tradition with cutting-edge innovation.
In recent years, Stephanie has channeled her personal storytelling into songwriting. Praised for her powerful lyrics, she’s recognized as “one of the most promising and talented songwriters around today” (Hall of Fame, GASC). She is also a soon-to-be-published author.
Wine Whisper & Song is where her passions and purpose converge. Designed for today’s experience-driven audiences, it brings a vibrant new dimension to the speaker event scene and redefines the typical wine tasting. Part storytelling, part wine tasting, part song—all woven into an emotional journey. As Stephanie says, “It’s not traditional wine education—it’s about wine as a sensory amplifier of emotion, reflection, and connection, imprinting the wine itself as an indelible memory on the soul. Emotion and wine pairing is a way to experience wine that speaks to the times we’re living in. For wineries, retreats, resorts, and private events, it invites guests to connect with themselves, the wine, and each other, sip by sip, story by story.”
Based in California, Stephanie brings Wine Whisper & Song to select locations across the U.S. and internationally. Her life and work are shaped by intuition, courage, and soulful living—threads that flow through every experience she creates and every story she shares.
