Local wine and travel columnist, Jamie Knee, known as the Petite Wine Traveler, is set to host a new television series titled Petite Wine Traveler Explores: California Central Coast. Produced by Emmy® award winner Bounce Entertainment, the show is anticipated to premiere in early 2026 and will feature ten episodes exploring the California Central Coast as a premier luxury wine and travel destination.

In this cinematic series, Jamie will delve into the unique people, places, and experiences that define the region. Viewers can expect stunning visuals ranging from the rugged coastline near Santa Barbara to the lush hills of San Luis Obispo, plus the misty peaks of Monterey and Santa Cruz. Each episode will showcase local wines including world-class Pinot Noir, ocean-kissed Chardonnay, and the rejuvenation of Grenache and Syrah in Paso Robles.

Beyond just wineries, the series will also highlight the culinary scene, featuring visits to local markets and chef’s gardens, where Jamie will gather heirloom produce for live cooking demonstrations. The show aims to present a captivating journey through California’s hidden gems, focusing on family-run vineyards and authentic farm-to-table dining.

Launched in 2018, Jamie Knee’s Petite Wine Traveler was created to celebrate exceptional wine regions and the individuals who cultivate them. “I’m thrilled to finally pull back the curtain and showcase the Central Coast’s hidden gems,” she said, emphasizing her goal to invite viewers to fully experience the charm and hospitality of the region.
