Sabine Hrechdakian

AFAR Contributor

Sabine is a writer, editor, and restaurateur who has built a career at the intersection of food, storytelling, and culture. As the founding producer of Cider Week, she played a key role in establishing New York State’s orchard-based cider movement, later opening the city’s first acclaimed cider-focused restaurant. Her writing spans poetry, food and drink profiles, and essays on art, nature, and belonging — with recent bylines in AFAR and Upstate Diary.

Drawing on a global upbringing shaped by displacement and identity, Sabine brings a unique outsider’s perspective to every subject she explores. Her multidisciplinary background includes roles as a literary agent, communications director, and event producer. She is currently working on a memoir exploring place, identity, and the stories we inherit.
