Intimate, expertly guided wine tastings and wine dinners for groups of up to 10 — hosted by Matthew Hansen at the studio, your boardroom, or a partner restaurant.

Fine Wine Appreciation - passionate, independent wine education

Fine Wine Appreciation has been running for over 25 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.
