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.

My aims were to be educated, entertained and to relax while learning about good wine. I’m happy to report that all these aims were adequately met. I look forward to attending more such lessons/meetings.

Matthew provided great wine（Pinot noir）with a wide variety that sparked multiple differemt opinions and comments. As my prior experience, I left with a little more knowledge and appreciation than i had when i arrived. Thank you and see you again soon. Jeremy

Was really nice to meet lots of new people over wines I'd never tried and I enjoyed both. Can't recommend Matthew's classes enough. :^)
