My Story

I'm an entrepreneur, fine jewelry designer, and luxury travel advisor, and my career has always centered on creativity, hospitality, and bringing people together. Through Dannini Luxury Lifestyle, in affiliation with Exemplary Travel Advisors, I design wine-inspired journeys and thoughtfully curated getaways for clients and friends.

I began my career in technology marketing at Compaq Computer Corporation during the dot-com era, where I helped launch the Compaq Presario brand. As a self-described "road warrior," I traveled extensively across the country and around the world. I experienced different cultures, exceptional hospitality, and remarkable places, and those years sparked my lifelong love of discovering what makes each destination unique.

In 2004, my husband, Larry Magart, and I founded the Dannini Jewelry Collection. Our signature Victoria Rose ring was later featured by Forbes as a Mother's Day gift recommendation. In 2015, my love of fine wine and entertaining led me to create the Indulge Wine Club. It began as a special experience for our jewelry clients and grew into a vibrant community of wine enthusiasts. I've since curated numerous trips for our wine club members, bringing together exceptional wines, great company, and memorable experiences.

Today, Dannini Luxury Lifestyle brings together fine jewelry, curated wines, unique gifts, and extraordinary travel. My travel work focuses on celebrated wine regions, private vineyard experiences, boutique luxury accommodations, and authentic cultural immersion.

For me, travel is about much more than beautiful scenery. It's about getting to know a destination through its people, food, wine, history, and traditions. That might mean a private tasting at a family-owned estate, an afternoon in a charming European village, a voyage to an unforgettable port, or a long meal overlooking a stunning landscape. The most meaningful journeys are the ones that create lasting memories, and that's what I love helping my clients experience.

I'm also a certified scuba diver, and I love exploring the world with Larry and our daughter, Victoria, from underwater adventures to our family's favorite trips to Walt Disney World.

My philosophy remains simple: Indulge in Life's Luxuries.
