We are passionate about bringing people together to explore the world of wine. Founded by Alicia Abaté, our brand was born out of a shared love for exceptional wines and the desire to create unforgettable tasting experiences. With a blend of in-person and virtual events, we aim to make wine education and appreciation accessible to all.

Growing up in an Italian household, Alicia Abaté watched family and friends enjoy food and tasting experiences, some of life’s simplest pleasures.  She has had the privilege to broaden and refine her palate over the past 20 years, thanks to a very special person in her life we call “Aunt Betsy”.  Betsy recognized Alicia’s passion and enjoyment for wine and provided her with a multitude of wine exploration opportunities extending overseas.

With a strong support system and cheerleaders in her corner, Alicia pursued formal wine education and is a sommelier certified with the WSET.  Passionate about the combination of wine and conversation, she's always eager to uncover hidden gems in the wine world and share them with her guests. She believes in providing a completely unscripted and natural experience that can often lead to unexpected and exciting moments for her and her guests.
