Wine 101 Education Series at Wine Me Up

Join us at Wine Me Up for our Wine 101 Education Series led by wine educator Tristan Chabot (WSET Level 3).

This four-part series is designed to take you from wine curious to confidently ordering, tasting, and pairing like a pro. Each class builds on the next, combining education with guided tastings so you can learn while you sip.

Whether you're brand new to wine or looking to refine your palate, this experience is approachable, interactive, and fun.

Each session includes a curated tasting and hands-on education covering everything from how wine is made to how to pair it with food.
