Can’t find the words to describe a wine?
Struggle to identify why you like a wine?
Absolutely flabbergasted by professional wine descriptions?
Keep buying the same wine over and over but want to branch out?
Time for Wining with Mel’s Happy Hour!

These virtual and in-person wine tastings will give you:
- the vocabulary you need to describe wines
- a chance to practise tasting wines like a pro
- confidence to talk about wine
- new recommendations of wines to try
- a chance to meet and sip with people outside your household!


Just because I am a certified sommelier doesn’t mean this virtual wine tasting will be dull and stuffy. I want to make discovering wine tasting fun and easy. So if you are looking for wine tasting events that are:
- snobby
- pretentious
- boring
- passive lectures
…these events are NOT for you.
This will be a gathering of open-minded wine lovers of all ages.
Events will be participatory, meaning you can ask questions and practise talking about wines from day one.
Still unsure? Here’s what past participants are saying!
Lots of fun!! Mel is very knowledgeable!
