Meet Katie Turner

Katie founded DVINE Experiences after more than 22 years as an entrepreneur, including co-founding a podcasting studio in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, consulting in digital strategy and owning fitness studios on Sydney’s North Shore. Her first job, at the chef hatted Mezza Luna (now The Butler) in Potts Point, never quite left her.

Katie holds a Bachelor of Economics, has served on the board of the Greater Port Macquarie Tourism Association and has travelled widely, from backpacking around Australia at 19 to Europe, South East Asia and Brazil. That love of discovering places through their people and flavours is at the heart of every DVINE experience.

Katie also hosts the Crafting DVINE Experiences podcast (opens Spotify in a new tab), in conversation with people from food, travel and hospitality.

Hosted by your Fun Director

Every DVINE experience is hosted by a Fun Director. Your Fun Director helps coordinate the day, welcomes your group and keeps the experience flowing, so you can relax and enjoy the people and places around you. The host may vary between experiences and locations.

On the Coffs Coast, Michael Sallustio is our Partnerships Manager and a DVINE Fun Director, looking after sales and customer relations for the Coffs region. Originally from Dubbo, where he worked at Taronga Western Plains Zoo, Michael has called Coffs Harbour home for more than twenty years and knows the breweries, distilleries and makers that give the region its character.
