Fine Wine Appreciation - passionate, independent wine education
Fine Wine Appreciation has been running for over 15 years in Melbourne, conducted by respected wine expert Matthew Hansen. As a highly acclaimed professional chef and educator, Matthew’s personable style and passionate approach ensures all those with a love of fine wine will benefit from his unique and insightful perspectives.
Most importantly, Matthew is Melbourne’s only completely independent educator, and not affiliated with any specific wineries, wine merchant or makers – all wines featured in his courses are offered on merit alone. Fine Wine Appreciation does not accept industry favours, and does not sell wine to participants.
As places are very limited we do not offer refunds. If by chance you are unable to attend you are welcome to send another person/s in your place.

Matthew is a knowledgeable and courteous host. His wine appreciation courses, dinners and vertical tastings are always informative, valuable and most importantly - they're hosted in a warm friendly atmosphere. I never profess to being a wine expert, and in Matthew's environment I never feel like i'm being 'wine snobbed.' I'd recommend his classes to anyone from beginning to appreciate or learn more about wine, to those with a sophisticated taste. His wines are exceptional, rare, and delicious!

Really fantastic class. The format is very casual and, even if your wine knowledge is not as extensive as others in the group, Matthew goes out of his way to make you feel very much included. Fantastic wines too.

Matthew runs excellent wine events. Prince Albert Vineyard has been on my radar for a while and I was really pleased when I saw that Matthew had organised a tasting class. Trying the different vintages and to be able to look at different clones from the same year was an extraordinary opportunity. I look forward to many more events with Matthew.
