We all know that wine can be a delicious part of a healthy lifestyle. And for those who love to eat and drink well—and we’re guessing that’s most of our readers—these pleasures become even greater when we’re focused and active each day.

Those who work in the restaurant and wine industries are no strangers to decadent meals, fine wine and some late nights. This makes staying in top physical and mental condition even more important. Many successful chefs, restaurateurs and winemakers strike this balance exceptionally well. We highlight several of these professionals, who share how sports and fitness add joy and confidence to a life in food and wine. From surfing and running to mountain biking and meditation, their stories are inspiring.
