A digital magazine for the aspiring modern Gentleman.
Wine Travel & Song is a considered guide to the finer things — from standout meals and luxurious travel to the records, bottles, and pieces worth collecting. We share first-hand notes from places visited, meals shared, and moments worth savouring, often with a soundtrack to match.
Founded in 2016, WTS began as a personal blog — a space to document favourite records, far-flung hotels, and quiet obsessions. It has since grown into something more: an independent digital magazine for those who appreciate style, culture, and storytelling. We don’t cover everything. We cover what we know — from French hotel suites and Japanese gardens to vinyl pressings, curated playlists, and rock landmarks worth stepping off the beaten path to find.
From time to time, we welcome guest contributors to share their passions and expertise — helping to broaden our perspective and add depth to areas where we’re still learning. If you think your work would resonate with our growing audience, we welcome introductions via the form below.
Our Founder & Editor
A published writer and photographer, Jay combines a lifelong love of music with a considered approach to travel and culture. His work reflects a personal yet polished perspective — whether exploring a legendary recording studio, reviewing a hotel suite, or curating a playlist for a long weekend.
A successful digital entrepreneur, Jay is evolving Wine Travel & Song to fill a gap in the market: a space for thoughtful, aspirational content aimed at men in their 50s — those who’ve worked hard and are now ready to enjoy the rewards of a life well-lived.
WTS speaks to the modern gentleman who values taste over trends, and who finds meaning in music, travel, culture, and the occasional indulgence — all told with a personal, considered tone that reflects where he’s been, and where he’s headed next.
